“The difference between 'Watchmen' and a normal comic book is this: With 'Batman's Gotham City,' you are transported to another world where that superhero makes sense; 'Watchmen' comes at it in a different way, it almost superimposes its heroes on your world, which then changes how you view your world through its prism.” WorldWayBookDifferentDifferencesViewsCitiesHeroNormalComicMake SenseDifferent WaysComic BookSuperheroAnother WorldPrismsGothamGotham City Author:Zack Snyder
“And while I'm on the subject, let me say something about Harry Potter. [Gravels her voice.] Warlocks are enemies of God!!

“One of my heroes, G.K. Chesterton, said, "The old fairy tales endure forever. The old fairy tale makes the hero a normal human boy; it is his adventures that are startling; they startle him because he is normal."
