“He's this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What we've made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It's been an honor to work on.

“I just devoured all of his [Buster Keaton’s] films because his sense of comic timing was amazing. He’s the closest a human being has ever come to a cartoon character. And I was just amazed at his sense of character and timing, the humor. It's all just so…sophisticated, even when you watch it today.” HumansCharacterTodayFilmHuman BeingsWatchesComicClosestTimingSophisticatedAmazedCartoonCartoon CharacterBusters Author:John Lasseter
“It was 1978 when Superman came out, and I kept thinking, Why don't they do something about it? They've done all these crappy attempts at comic book film adaptations. What can we do different? Why don't we just re-release this thing?” ThinkingBookDifferentDoneFilmReleaseComicComic BookAdaptationFilm Adaptations Author:Richard Donner

“Personally I don't think there's any real intrinsic difference between comic books, movies, theatre, novels. I know there's sure to be some differences of some sorts. I've worked on novels, films, and video games, and in an adaptation, I guess one of the issues is that I have to be in love with the thing I'm adapting before I do it. So that can cause a problem. You can be too scared of it. You could be too reverential. But at the same time you want to try to capture this thing that you're obsessed by. You're fixated for a reason. What's the reason? You try to get ahold of it.” ThinkingKnowsWantTryingBookRealReasonProblemFilmGamesCausesDifferencesNovelIssuesScaredTheatreVideoComicObsessedCaptureComic BookAdaptationAdaptingMovie Theatre Author:Alex Garland
“I have done scenes as Harvey Two-Face. It's interesting. I won't tell you exactly what we're going for, but I think that I can say that it will use all of today's technology to create this character. He's going to be interesting, and I think that's what makes this character important in the movie-you get to see him as he was before, as in the comic books. Harvey is a very good guy in the comic books. He's judicious. He cares. He's passionate about what he loves and then he turns into this character. So you will see that in this film.” ThinkingI CanTwoImportantBookDoneCharacterUseCareTodayFilmFacesGuyTurnsInterestingTechnologySceneVery GoodPassionateComicComic BookGood GuyHarvey Author:Aaron Eckhart
“Would you rather see a super soldier battling Nazis or something more serious? Or lesbians down a coal mine? Generally, the films are engaging in the same way as the comics are.
