Superman is the hardest character to draw. There are a couple of things that make him difficult. He's got a very simple costume and doesn't have the long cape like Batman. He's not a character that is necessarily always in shadow, and he doesn't have a mask.
Superman has been around for so long; he's been around for, what, eight decades now? And he goes through these different eras where different aspects of who he is get emphasized.
'Superman' has always been about Lois Lane, Superman and Clark Kent and this love triangle between these three people who really are only two people.
I don't want to see Superman replaced with Superboy.
Alfred: Hmf. I suppose you'll take up flying next, like that fellow in Metropolis.
Superman's original name was Kal-El, or Swift God. His father's name was Jor-El. Superman was clearly drawn as a modern-day god.
Contrary to the rumours you have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-el, to save the planet Earth.
For me, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster's character was Superman.
I... am... the son of Jor-El!
Win or lose, I am programmed to do more. That's because I am the other son of Jorel - Superman.
If you don't like Superman, something's wrong with you!
I think that Superman is the pinnacle of the DC Universe. Our feeling always was that you need to get Superman right. That was also our goal. We didn't want to ignore that this universe exists.
