You can save the city, but having the city be in jeopardy is one thing and having the people you care about be in jeopardy is another.

Time has a certain current to it, and it wants to flow in a certain direction.

I'm a very big believer that the reason you've seen this huge surge in superheroes both on television and in film is...part of it of course is zeitgeist. There's no denying that there's a huge appetite on the part of the audience in both TV and film for these kind of adventures.

Probably the biggest challenge is actors, no matter how talented the actor is they don't have the capability of being in more than one place than one particular time, which is very vexing.

In part, it's so difficult to come up with something original, to come up with a character nowadays. If you created a globetrotting adventurer, he'd be compared to Indiana Jones. If you created a super spy, he'd be compared to James Bond.

I love doing meta-humor, as long as it doesn't become too distracting and it's subtle.
