When Writing, I Model All The Heroes

I Think If I Were A Superhero Saving The World, I'd Expect At Least Not To Have To Pay Income Taxes. I Mean There Should Be Something In It For A Hero Who Risks His Life To Save Mankind Every Day.

From 1940 To About 1960, I Had Been Writing Just Regular Comics, The Way My Publishers Wanted Me Too. He Didn't Want Me To Use Words Of More Than Two Syllables If I Could Help It. He Didn't Want Me To Waste Time On Worrying About Good Dialogue Or Characterization. Just Give Me A Lot Of Action, Lot Of Fight Scenes.

People Like Stories That Are Bigger Than Life, About Characters With Unusual Powers. And When You Get All The Characters In The Zodiac, It's So Colorful, And It's So Rich In Different Attitudes That The Characters Have.

We All Wish We Had Super Powers. We All Wish We Could Do More Than We Can Do.

The Purpose Of This Is Not Show That I Can Do It Better, Because I Think Superman Is Perfect. The Original Creation Of Superman Nobody Could Have Done That Better And I Think Batman Is Pretty Much A Perfect Character... The Same With All Of Them. I'm Just Going To Try To Find A Way To Say, "if That Wasn't The Original Idea, What Would Be Another Way To Do It That Would Be More In My Style?".
