Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn't really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously.

Most superheroes are painted with a specific moral objective that makes them who they are. And that moral objective influences everything they do, so there's an expectation for what you're going to see out of a certain character.

I've learned that being a superhero isn't all glitz and glamour. We think if we have a special power, our problem will go away. It's just a new set of problems. Being a superhero alienates you and separates you from humanity. As Spiderman famously said, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'

I don't know if there is anyone who wouldn't want to play some kind of superhero. I don't know if the world is getting sick of superhero movies or not, but I think you will endlessly have actors who are intrigued by the idea of playing a superhero.

We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

You create superheroes to take care of problems that can't really be solved another way.

When you write for a comic series, many superheroes have 60 or some years of history that you are coming into.

There hasn't been enough change in comics to suit me. I don't know why exactly.

I'm used to comic books being reimagined, different takes on some of our beloved superheroes.

I think superheroes today are like whistle blowers.
