August 14, 2010: LA Times Interview with Grant Morrison

All-Star Superman The Los Angeles Times Entertainment Section has a two-part interview with DC writer Grant Morrison (Final Crisis, All-Star Superman). Part two of the interview has Morrison comparing and contrasting Superman and Batman after having written both characters:

    Superman is very bright and optimistic. It's all the simple things. He's of the day and of the sunlight, and Batman is the creature of the night. I'm interested in the fact that they both believe in the same kind of things. But Batman is better. He's screwed up. That what makes him cool. . . .

    Bruce Wayne is a rich man. He's an artistocrat. Superman grew up as Clark Kent on a farm bailing hay, and he's got a boss that shouts at him if he's late to work. He's actually more human; Batman is the fetish fantasy psyche of the aristocrat overlord who can do anything he wants, and that's fascinating. The class difference between the two of them is important.
