American writers often say they find it difficult to write Superman. They say he's too powerful; you can't give him problems. But Superman is a metaphor. For me, Superman has the same problems we do, but on a Paul Bunyan scale. If Superman walks the dog, he walks it around the asteroid belt because it can fly in space. When Superman's relatives visit, they come from the 31st century and bring some hellish monster conqueror from the future. But it's still a story about your relatives visiting.

Grant MorrisonAfraid? Batman's not afraid of anything. It's me. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that The Joker may be right about me. SometimesโฆI question the rationality of my actions. And Iโm afraid that when I walk through those asylum gates... when I walk into Arkham and the doors close behind me... itโll be just like coming home.
