November 15, 2012: Tony Daniel Discusses "Justice League" and "Action Comics"
ComicBookResources.com have conducted an interview with artist Tony Daniel to find out what we can expect from his run on "Action Comics". Here's a portion of what he had to say about Superman...
- Judging from the the promo art and our conversation with Andy Diggle, it's evident that you have a very strong idea of what you want to accomplish with Superman, artistically. Can you put into words what you feel he represents and how you'll transfer that to your illustrations?
It's funny, because the promo piece I drew shows Superman wearing his black Krypton outfit from the Superman #0 issue. Lots of people think I changed Superman's suit, but I really didn't. That was Ken Rocafort's design. He'll be looking a bit more like the Superman we know and love in my first few issues, however, which I'm happy about since I'd like to begin my run with Superman wearing his normal New 52 suit.
Superman, for me, is the embodiment of what a superhero is. Stoic, powerful, larger than life, perfection personified. From an artistic standpoint, I'll be doing my best to capture his super-ness to the best of my abilities. It's really going to be fun drawing his face and getting into his eyes, where we can hopefully read his heart in the pictures. I missed being able to get into a Batman's emotional state when he was under his cowl because so much of that is portrayed through the eyes. I think I enjoy that aspect of my work the best. The part of the job I look forward to the most is Superman's movements, the grace with which he flies, the majestic, almost regal way he composes himself in front of allies and foes alike. Then, of course, there's Clark Kent, which is a whole different personification with very different character traits, the 'human' side of him that everyone can relate to. My ideas for Clark will be fun to work into the book.
Drawing Clark will be as much fun for me as drawing Superman. The way he stands, his expressions, movements, it all adds up to the total package that really sells how awesome being Superman really is.
