I read Superman comics when I was a kid.
If you do a black character or a female character or an Asian character, then they aren't just that character. They represent that race or that sex, and they can't be interesting because everything they do has to represent an entire block of people. You know, Superman isn't all white people and neither is Lex Luthor. We knew we had to present a range of characters within each ethnic group, which means that we couldn't do just one book. We had to do a series of books and we had to present a view of the world that's wider than the world we've seen before.
I love Superman. I'm a big fan of anyone who can make his living in his underwear.
Superman don't need no seat belt.
I want to be in 'Avatar'. I want somebody to hire me to be Superman, a Chinese Superman or Spider-Man.
Whether it's Batman, Superman, Watchmen, the 300 story, we just make stuff that I want to see.
If you can feel like a good man in your 40s, you can feel like a better man in your 50s, a Superman in your 60s, and maybe a Spider-Man in your 70s.
I have not seen "Batman v Superman," unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.
A man is a man to the extent that he is a superman. A man should be defined by the sum of those tendencies which impel him to surpass the human condition.
I felt like, in the recent past, people have been apologizing for Superman, a little bit, for his costume, for his origins, and for the way he fits into society.
My dad was Superman to me, and in my mind he always will be.
When the first Superman movie came out I was frequently asked "What is a hero?". . . My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences. . . Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
No one wants to see a person on TV who's super-ultra-cool. That's Superman, that's a thing of the past. Heroes are now flawed, and have terrible tempers, you know? They're real people.
Never seen Jason fly before," Percy grumbled. "He looks like a blond Superman
What I do is based on powers we all have inside us; the ability to endure; the ability to love, to carry on, to make the best of what we have - and you don't have to be a 'Superman' to do it.
Every instance in my life, I've felt like the exact opposite of Superman. Except this time, this moment right now. I don't care. I don't feel like a weak, insipid sissy. Because right now I know I would save the girl. I know that I would rather risk the planet than let harm befall Eliza Wishart. I would save her in a second. Because I can imagine her and me huddled safe together while the earth falls under evil designs, but I can't imagine the world without her in it.
Usually it is a painful process (writing), "Superman" came in 45 minutes; "100 Years" in four months.
How come Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always ducked when someone threw a gun at him?
If you don't like Superman, something's wrong with you!
Christopher Reeve will always be Superman in my mind.
