When I Was A Kid Growing Up

Jesus, Man. Why Do People Want To Be Paris Hilton And Nobody Wants To Be Spider-man?

If I'm Creating A New Superhero, It Shouldn't Be Any Different From Other Superheroes In Terms Of The Qualities. Obviously The Personality Can Be Different. I Think Traditionally In Comics Women Have Tended To Be A Girlfriend Or The Daughter Of Whoever, Whether It's Even Batgirl As Gordon's Daughter, Or Whatever. There Is That Relation Of The Hero, You Know, Like Superman's Cousin, Supergirl. And That's Great. It's Fantastic To Have A Link To These Amazing Characters, But I Kind Of Like The Idea Of Things Being Something In Their Own Right, Which Is Why I've Always Loved Wonder Woman.

It's Been A Very Interesting Exercise As A Writer - Writing A Little Family Group, Like The Incredibles Or The Simpsons Or Something Like That, And Setting It In A Big Star Wars-type Setting. It's Been Really Fun, Definitely Different From The Kind Of Thing I Normally Do.

When I Was A Kid Growing Up In The '80s, The Bbc Showed Those Old Buster Crabbe Serials Like Flash Gordon And Buck Rogers. So Instead Of Ponderous Sci-fi Or Depressing Sci-fi Or Dystopian Sci-fi And All The Things We're Kind Of Used To, Where It's Always Raining And It's Always Dark, I Thought, "wouldn't It Be Nice To Do Something That Was Just Fun And Absolutely Nonstop?" Like, I Love Writing Action, And This Thing Is That. It's All Action.

We Ordinary People Might Lack Your Great Speed Or Your X-ray Vision, Superman, But Never Underestimate The Power Of The Human Mind. We Carry The Most Dangerous Weapon On Earth Inside These Thick Skulls Of Ours.
