The Big Problem Is Time. I Don't

The Only Thing That Made Me, Or Any Of Us, Special Was That No One In The Whole Of History Would Ever See The Universe Exactly The Same Way Any Other Of Us Saw It.

Before It Was A Bomb, The Bomb Was An Idea. Superman, However, Was A Faster, Stronger, Better Idea.

I Guess My Inspiration Is This - I Like To Pretend That Every Story That Ever Happened To 'batman' Was Real And Is Part Of This One Guy's Life.

The 'medium' Is Unaware Of Its Attractiveness, That's All. Everyone Loves Comics. I've Proven This To My Own Satisfaction By Handing Them Out To Acountants, Insurance Brokers, Hairdressers, Mothers Of Children, Black Belts, Pop Stars, Taxi Drivers, Painters, Lesbians, Doctors Etc. Etc. The X-files, Buffy, The Matrix, X-men - Mainstream Culture Is Not What It Once Was When Science Fiction And Comics Fans Huddled In Cellars Like Gnostic Christians Dodging The Romans. We Should Come Up Into The Light Soon Before We Suffocate.

Because It All Derived From Superman. I Mean, I Love All The Characters, But Superman Is Just This Perfect Human Pop-culture Distillation Of A Really Basic Idea. He's A Good Guy. He Loves Us. He Will Not Stop In Defending Us. How Beautiful Is That? He's Like A Sci-fi Jesus. He'll Never Let You Down. And Only In Fiction Can That Guy Actually Exist, Because Real Guys Will Always Let You Down One Way Or Another. We Actually Made Up An Idea That Beautiful. That's Just Cool To Me. We Made A Little Paper Universe Where All Of The Above Is True.
