"As I sat there on Father’s Day and saw Superman beating the bad guy by twisting his neck so hard he broke it and murdered him I really wondered if we’d come to the end of that particular road... This was like seeing Sylvester the Cat finally getting his hands on Speedy Gonzales. Elmer Fudd blowing away Bugs Bunny. I loved Superman as a kid not because of his edginess or his potential for a fatal solution, but because he could do anything he wanted and still chose to be nice. This was always the moral of a superhero comic to me.
"Superheroes always had an element of violence by their very nature, but what separated them from Han Solo and Indiana Jones and Captain James T Kirk (who were always simply ‘heroes’ to me) were their peaceful solutions to insurmountable problems. So I sat there in the cinema and wondered... should I try to create something else?" -- Mark Millar
