You just have to trust your instincts and hope that if someone doesn't like your idea, you can prove them wrong in the final process. In the end, you can please some of the people some of the time, but that's about all you can do.
'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.
You can only go so far in analyzing each and every one person's opinion because they are often quite different.

Of course. I'm a very liberal-minded person, and I believe that all kinds of people should live in as much peace and harmony as humanly possible on this planet, regardless of their differences. I have always believed that, I was always taught that as a boy, and that's ingrained in my thinking.
Things have moved on, people have moved on. Lois Lane has moved on. Superman is the same, but the world is changed. And that's what makes the movie interesting.
In a sense, the movie is about what happens when an old romance returns unexpectedly and also the anger we all have toward people that let us down or leave us behind. This is about the obstacles that befall an idealistic man. It's about an old-fashioned hero in a modern world that isn't sure it wants him.
Kevin has a unique ability to play humor and villainy,
You just happened to catch him on a bad day.
We'd always written that role with him in mind. He's an old friend and this is a great opportunity for all the obvious reasons.
What I had noticed is that there weren't a lot of women lining up to see a comic book movie, but they were going to line up to see 'The Devil Wears Prada,' which may have been something I wanted to address.
I identify with Superman. I am adopted, I am an only child, and I love the idea that he comes from another world, that he's the ultimate immigrant. He has all these extraordinary powers, and he has a righteousness about him.
Kubrick showed us something special. Every film was a challenge, and a direct assault on cinema's conventions.
What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding, by any means; it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it.
I think television is moving more into movies, particularly with serialization and almost cinematic proportions and expectations. A show like Game of Thrones is a perfect example of that. It isn`t all about instant gratification it's about inviting someone into the long experience of television the way you'd be invited into a theater for two hours. So I think in that way, and the quality of writing in television is probably much better than most film writing.
