Superman Returns

July 21, 2008: Mark Millar on His Ideas for a Superman Movie

DenOfGeek.com has published an interview with Mark Millar in which he reveals more details on his ideas for a new Superman movie. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Superman was very conflicted in Superman Returns - almost apologist. What is the problem people have liking Superman as he is?

    I actually think it's a sign of a malformed personality, people who don't like Superman [laughs]. In fact, nearly all of my friends say 'Oh, I hate Superman', and I ask why, and they say 'Oh, cause he's such a goody-goody'. So it's like 'Don't you like nice people?' [laughs], y'know, 'What is wrong with you?'. And they say 'Oh, I prefer Batman, he's more sort of evil and bad-ass'. But who would you rather hang about with? Who's a better role model with a more kind of positive outlook on the world? I think it's the same kids that carve a swastika into the vestibule at school - that's the kind of person who doesn't like Superman [laughs].

    I think the mainstream public, left and right, would go nuts for a Superman film right now, especially in this period where America 's slightly at ease with itself...to do something that has America feeling good about itself again, and something that just has the hairs on the back of your neck standing up for the whole movie. Could be amazing...
