I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.

I think any writer coming on to Batman should at least attempt to do their own definitive version. What it means to them. Whatever they think that symbol or character can say.

Sometimes I pretend not to look at my own characters, because that's like different people getting off with your girlfriend or something.

I've always felt I had more in common with the modernist approach than with postmodernism, but I can see where the connection might arise - and to be honest, I'm no academic, so I tend to use these words, like in Alice In Wonderland, to mean what I want them to mean rather than what they actually do mean.

It's salt. Why don't you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren't I just good enough to eat?

All I know is that you won't come back until they're all dead. 'Eternity.' Every last one of them. Every man. Every woman. Every child. Global massacre. I dream about that day. A planet of corpses

Remember it's all just a mirror we made to see ourselves in.
