You know, it's a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say 'make that real.'

I think that, for me, Superman just seemed to make a lot of sense to me. After doing 'Watchmen,' it was - you know that thing, you've got to know the rules before you can break them? There was something about that in making 'Watchmen.'
