I think that the superhero-as-metaphor involves a superhero being some sort of intellectual, emotional, or other such concept writ large. But I don't know that it's a necessary part of the appeal that the superhero be superior.

Kurt Busiek

As it turned out, if you look at the history, everything in superhero comic books pretty much lies between Superman and Batman: Superman being the greatest superhero there is, and Batman being the one of the few superheroes who has no superpowers and is, in fact, not a superhero.

Neal Adams

Superhero movies are so famous because of the metaphor that they trigger in one's self about who you could be if things were different.

Patty Jenkins

Yes, metaphor. That's how the whole fabric of mental interconnections holds together. Metaphor is right at the bottom of being alive.

Gregory Bateson

I've learned that being a superhero isn't all glitz and glamour. We think if we have a special power, our problem will go away. It's just a new set of problems. Being a superhero alienates you and separates you from humanity. As Spiderman famously said, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'

Josh Keaton

Who hasn't dreamed of being a superhero? I don't know what my superhero name would be, but my power? I would have to say time travel.

Brook Lopez

Obviously, learning the martial arts is a big part of my training, but the other part of being a Marvel superhero is, well, looking like a superhero.

Simu Liu

I'd have no problem kicking Tobey McGuire out of Spiderman because Spiderman has been my favorite superhero since I can possibly even remember having my first thought . I love Spiderman, but he does a great job so I'm going to have to find myself another superhero to become one day.

George Stults

My main job and my overwhelming job starts with my family, my street, my neighborhood, and my city.

Eric Garcetti

If you've learned anything from the modern superhero myth, if you see a bat around and it bites you, you have a 75 percent chance of ending up a superhero. Otherwise, you'll probably get really sick. But it'd be cool to be a superhero. You don't need to be too afraid.

Brook Lopez

You're told to look good and to show Tupperware, and that was my job. Coming from that to being, like, 'Oh my God, you're a superstar' - it's almost overnight, and it's overwhelming beyond belief.

Gena Lee Nolin

I don't know if there is anyone who wouldn't want to play some kind of superhero. I don't know if the world is getting sick of superhero movies or not, but I think you will endlessly have actors who are intrigued by the idea of playing a superhero.

Jennifer Morrison

To me synchronised swimming is a metaphor for the job of being a girl. They have to fake their smiles, they're made up like dolls and they can't show the effort they're making, yet under the surface of the water it's a struggle and a sacrifice.

Celine Sciamma

Crime is a job. Sex is a job. Growing up is a job. School is a job. Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job

David Byrne

I had no confusion about making a superhero film. From the very day one, I knew I will make a movie of this genre which will have an Indian superhero. I never wanted to copy my superhero from any of the Hollywood ones.

Remo D'Souza

The reality is that diversity as an overall subject has to continue to be addressed onscreen. That goes beyond having a gay superhero. There should be a black superhero, a Latino superhero and, while we're at it, we still aren't seeing nearly enough women behind the scenes and as the anchors of movies.
