October 24, 2010: Shane Davis Discusses "Superman: Earth One"

Superman: Earth One Newsarama.com spoke with artist Shane Davis about his year-long assignment creating the artwork for the highly anticipated original graphic novel "Superman: Earth One". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Nrama: In what ways did your artistic approach to the Superman character change because of the modern-day setting?

    Davis: I think Clark Kent and the way he looks is going to be the first giveaway of me tackling Clark Kent in today's setting.

    With that said, other parts of him: his powers, the momentum of landing, and the whole bull-in the-China-cabinet thing... I wanted to explore his individual powers a bit and how they react to different vision techniques like heat vision versus the X-ray vision and so on. I came up with this nifty little technique where his irises mutate and change, so it's a giveaway to the reader that you're seeing what he's actually doing with his eye power. And I've noticed that the character has a lot of superpowers connected to vision, and so I really wanted to make sure people knew what it would look like in the panel. Yu see his eyes themselves invert... to show his X-ray vision.
