->''"I met ''[Roberto]'' Orci on the set of ''Film/EndersGame'', and in his defense I can say that he came across as very fan-friendly and totally willing to hear audience concerns... But I will say that before he deleted his very entertaining {{Twitter}} feed, he had FidelCastro as his avatar and was prone to linking to [[ConspiracyTheorist conspiracy theories]], which may explain why every major movie he's written has featured a large-scale secret plan by either government, an evil corporation, or both."''

->''"Whereas in the first volume, it was just a kind of crazy storyline, it is now a Batman story whose content appears to be sponsored by Coast to Coast AM. It’s like someone took their top five favorite conspiracy theories and shoehorned them into Batman mythology alongside random product placements.

->"But [[RefugeInAudacity moxie]] is part of [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]]'s DNA.

->"Ha! More [[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]]. I think this is like the third episode in a row that features the use of duct tape. No, the writers are not obsessed with duct tape. It's just a coincidence."

->"Someone pointed out recently that I draw my characters in bath scenes an awful lot, and I want to make it clear to everyone that this is certainly not due to any perverseness on my part. No, the fact is, I demand the cleanliness of my characters! This is simply an issue of hygiene, and has nothing to do with getting characters in lecherous situations in various states of undress."

->''"Once upon a time, there was [[Creator/GeorgeLucas a short, bearded man from Southern Californi]] who wanted to make a modern fairy tale. He wanted the world to experience his take on Campbellian mytho-archetypes and the movie serials of his youth. He also wanted to make enough money to swim in it like a cowboy-booted [[{{Ducktales}} Uncle Scrooge]]. Also, he wanted the world to share his [[AnArmAndALeg fetish for dismemberment]] as entertainment."''

Peters was ''also ''a producer attached to a film based on Neil Gaiman's ''ComicBook/TheSandman''.
