Final Crisis: Superman Beyond #2

February 5, 2009: Grant Morrison Talks "Final Crisis" on Newsarama, Part Two

Writer Grant Morrison continues his interview with Newsarama from last week, continuing his examination of fan reaction and exploring the meaning of the project in a broader context.

Some Superman-related highlights include his thoughts on what Superman's song is:

    NRAMA: What is Superman's song? What does it sound like?

    GM: 'Born In The USA'? 'Crazy In Love'? 'Man, I Feel Like A Woman'? 'My Way'? 'A Milli'? 'Come Into The Garden, Maude'? Whatever your favourite song is, that's what he's singing. For me today, it's 'Granite' by Pendulum.

Morrison also explores the multiple Supermen featured in the final issue:

    NRAMA: Your collection of Supermen - first, there look to be more than 52...second, you can save it for another time to run them down individually, but do you know who each one is?

    GM: I think Doug just kept drawing until he hit the sides! The script specified a ton of variant and parallel Earth Supermen, including Majestic, Apollo, the Red Son Superman, Superdemon and the New Frontier Superman. I also asked for Superwoman from Earth 11, a couple of Sons of Superman - including the guy from All Star Superman #6 and I wanted Bizarro flying in the opposite direction from everyone else but a few of those didn't make it through Doug's pencil.
