power punch simplest
I think the very simplest way to show Superman's power is to have him punch someone that's powerful.
agreed amongst emergence gets label league people power prior public superman
Prior to 'Action' and 'Justice League 1,' there was no label 'superhero' for a superpowered being. It's really the emergence of Superman and the Justice League that gets the public comfortable with the idea of people amongst us who have extraordinary power and that they've agreed to be our champions.
beyond happen issues places powers quickly save stop ways
The way you challenge Superman is by having things happen very, very quickly in different places and then asking, 'Who does he save first? What powers must he use to save each person or stop each disaster?' That's one of the ways you make him interesting beyond the thematic and moral issues that make Superman.
almost changed incredible powers remained superhuman superman
You can see how he changed on the surface. But at the core of it all, I think Superman has remained the same - a character with incredible powers but almost superhuman humility and restraint.
decades responsibility staple timely
I think there's a responsibility of the publisher, of the company, to make sure the staple books that have been around for decades come out in a timely manner.

Jerry Robinson illustrated some of the defining images of pop culture's greatest icons. As an artist myself, it's impossible not to feel humbled by his body of work. Everyone who loves comics owes Jerry a debt of gratitude for the rich legacy that he leaves behind.

We're very thankful for the successes we've had. And I'm grateful to have sons who are so competent. Bill is the heart of this company. He borders on genius. He has an instinct for good design. And Tom is a financial wizard.

We're made out to be the bad guys, but we're not, we're not at all.
anyone bad best click definitely judgment richard softer tend
'The Dark Knight,' 'The Rocketeer' and definitely the first 'Superman' movie by Richard Donner are the best. I tend to be softer in my judgment about what's a bad movie - I don't think anyone intends to make a bad movie, and sometimes it just doesn't click for some reason.
