We were just emerging from the Depression. Superman started in 1938. Batman started in 1939. So, we were just recovering.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We've spent almost ten years of our lives making 'Batman' films.
The thing is, the Superman comics have been around a long time, and so have the movies. They've done a lot of Superman movies, as they have with Batman.
The fact is that Superman isn't around because he is the oldest superhero. He's still around because he is a great superhero. He's the guy that spawned the entire genre, and that didn't happen because it was a mediocre idea.
Superman is such an old character. He's an old character with this huge legacy behind him. And one of the awesome things about the fact that he's been around for these decades is that he's gone through these different phases.
I am a big Batman fan, not so much a Superman fan.
Looking at the Batman pages is like revisiting my youth. My first seven years in New York were the first seven years of Batman itself. While my time on Batman was important and exciting and notable considering the characters that came out of it, it was really just the start of my life.
The thing that's been exciting about 'Superman' is to see how the character has developed through generations.
I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I've never abandoned.
Honestly, I wasn't familiar with the whole DC comics world and the Batman world before I was part of 'Gotham.'
We really lived, ate, drank and slept Batman - ideas, characters and stories.
