Movie studios aren't making too many dramas anymore; they're in the superhero business. Material for television is much, much stronger for actors now.

With superheroes and comics and fantasy and sci-fi being absolutely the popular currency in cinema, it's like people have said in endless magazines, it's the revenge of the geeks and all that. There's some truth in that.

Cinema isn't just a good medium for translating graphic novels. It's specifically a good medium for superheroes. On a fundamental, emotional level, superheroes, whether in print or on film, serve the same function for their audience as Golden Age movie stars did for theirs: they create glamour.

Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.

In thinking about it, the villains often have a little bit more range because their morality is different. You can have just a really good time as an actor, and there is just more there that you can explore on that side of the story.

Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.

There are as many great superhero movies as there are comedies and dramas and cartoons. People just want to see good movies.

In the film world, we can all be heroes. In the real world, where heroism can cost you your life or the life of the ones you love, people aren't so willing to make those sacrifices. When they do, they are set apart from the rest of us.

For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
