So many people misunderstand Superman. They try to be edgy and say Batman is way cooler and more relatable and, thus, way better. The wonder of Superman is that, even with all this power, he chooses to believe in humanity and stick up for us. He was iconic in the times of WW2 because he gave everyone hope. Nowadays, no one really knows what true suffering is like and we've forgotten what Superman stands for.
Agree. Superman is a symbol of hope and humanity. He is extremely powerful, but he is holding back so much and it's proves he has an incredible level of self-control and willpower.
Both Batman and Superman are equally awesome IMO. They're two different sides of the same coin, a symbol of justice for the people who need them most. It's just that their methods are complete opposites and there's lots of potential in examining what motivates them and drives them to fight for the right cause. There's a reason why these two are best buddies.
Uto Resa 519 - In 1992, when he first shaved his head, Grant Morrison *didn’t* look like Lex Luthor - Because in 1992, Lex Luthor looked like Eric Stoltz - The Dark Marty McFly.
Whenever Morrison writes a story with Superman in it, he always gets Superman right, whether he's a main or supporting character - because he understands Superman. People who complain that it's too hard to write Superman stories don't understand what he's about, and what makes him relatable.
"Even when he can juggle stars, Lois Lane can undermine him with one word"... There isn't a single writer that understands the humanity of Superman the way that Grant does!!! 💯
He grew up in scotland in the shadow of the british nuclear subs fearing the bomb with his dad who fought in the war, accidently killing commanders, blaming charlie and not joining in all the rape; Morrison grew up with stories like that and comics from the usa navy, the people who gave the world the bomb but also gave him superman, batman, animal man, and the doom patrol.
"The great thing about Superman is that even if he can jungle stars Lois can undermine that with one cruel word" that has to be one of the best descriptions of Superman as a character I have ever heard grant is one of the best writers not just in comics but of the modern world
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
I feel like Grant very clearly based their vision of Superman off of their Dad, but how they saw him as a young'un. Just a caring, loving, emotionally invincible father figure with all the problems, responsibility and joy therein. It's really wonderful and loving.
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
Fascinating. It's not just our aspirations - to be able to fix things, to be omni-competent inside of our meek and unassuming real personas - but our weaknesses as well that Superman embodies. The real ones that would persist even if we could "juggle stars." Is that what makes a real, true mythic figure? I mean, none of us could be Herakles or Odysseus, and yet those are our teaching stories. I've always felt that the Superman movies miss something mythic about Superman, an extra depth or dimension that makes him special, but couldn't put my finger on it. But maybe this is it: he's both invulnerable and vulnerable, and both have implications we can relate to.
One aspect of Superman that Morrison nails better than every other Superman writer is his fatherly love for humanity. Superman helps those weaker than him (i.e. EVERYONE), and it's not that no problem is too big for Superman, it's that no problem is TOO SMALL for him. People see the classic image of Superman helping a kitty off a tree and dismiss it as cliche'd and corny, but that's the beauty of it. A being so powerful he can fly through the sun and squeeze coal into diamonds thinks aiding a small defenseless kitty is a worthy investment of his time. Superman consoles the sad and grieving, he scolds criminal like a disappointed dad and appeals to their better nature, he leads his fellow heroes, celebrates their victories and comforts them in their defeats. Superman: Up In The Sky, the recent miniseries, illustrates it better than anything I've seen recently. A little girl is kidnapped by an alien menace. In her confinement, she says to herself "I'll be okay, Superman will save me." And he did. Cause he's FUCKING SUPERMAN.
adrian velante Superman always felt more relatable to my because I accepted he had powers and moved on, Batman was supposed to be human and did all that? Even before puberty I couldn't believe it.
Superman: Man that works a minimum wage job, has bills to pay, tries to get the girl but she always gives him the cold shoulder, tries to maintain a social life, has loving foster parents and a natrual curiosity about his heritage and culture. Batman: Billionaire, playboy that gets to go out all night long, sleep in all day, never works a day in his life, only company he keeps is with a butler and several orphaned children, has sex with dozens of women and has hundreds more fawn over him, has an infinite bank account with no repercussions to how much he spends on personal belongings, lives in a giant mansion that his parents bought, has an inferiority complex against a man that is viewed with higher regards and superpowers, somehow knows almost everything. Superman's weakness: Green Rock and Magic Batman's weakness: Evil Women and Kneecaps Because Batman is JUST SO MUCH MORE REALISTIC.
The true fantasy of being Superman isn't in the power to fly or lift tons of weight over your shoulders. The fantasy is in helping others and making them happy, and in turn, becoming happy.
I love most of Grants stuff. I think I like Grants Superman more than most of his other work. I hated most of what he did with Xmen. I wonder if he would yell at me for that. Once at a Comic-Con in Detroit I asked if he thought people liked Green Lantern more the Dr. Strange because it seemed more science based. Man my 17 year old mind learned that day. It changed my life some.
The thing that I have finally, at long last, realised and understand now about the whole phenomenon of Superhero Deaths, as opposed to the deaths of the Classical Greek and Roman Heroes and Mytho-Historic figures like Merlin, Nimrod, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes or Luke Skywalker, and it is this : when a Classical, National or Historical Hero dies, their remains are interred and sealed inside a *Tomb* - that, actually, is the primary qualifying attribute that is absolutely in all instances required attribute for a particular character or figure to have, necessary to meet the definition of what or who a Hero actually is, was, or was not - to be recognised and regarded as a god, a being/entity/spirit must have a temple concecrated in their name, in order that their devotees and supplicants have a Sacred space within a particular, designated and pre-dedicated place to gather in prayer and communion, worship the god in question and make and offer-up sacrificial offerings; likewise, a Hero must have a tomb within a gravesite at which to visit, pay homage and venerate the dead Hero, his memory and his legacy with other fellow pilgrims. Superheroes don’t get put into tombs when they die, or are put to sleep in Limbo through neglect and lack of use in new stories - They get dissolved. Which explains why, after they are revived and and brought back, they don’t come back the same as they were before - it’s generally that when They try to bring the guy back, the way he had been before, only everybody They try ti bring back, ends up coming back wrong (at least not usually).... Rather, it’s more just that’s they come back *DIFFERENT,* somehow. Or at least, not quite the same as they were before they head died. Which is not exaclty an irrational reaction to undergoing a complete reversal of death, followed by bodily resurrection, if you actually give it some serious thought - But this is why Pepper, Morgan, Happy and the Avengers put Tony Stark into the lake facing right across from the front porch of his cabin; this is why Batfleck’s Justice League had to submerge Superman’s dead body in the nutrient bath of the Kryptonian Birthing Chamber, along with a photograph of Johnathan Kent and a MotherBoxx and arrange to have the whole solution Superman broth solution struck by a bolt of lightning (of 1.21 JiggaWatts, obviously), at the exact precise instant the MotherBoxx made physical contact with the surface of the dissolved Superman; this is why Phoenix exploded out into The World from beneath the waves of Jamaica Bay and, likewise, the reason why, in order to *undo* consequences of The Dark Phoenix Saga, after Dark Phoenix herself had resolved her own story, in order, if, as you so-desired, your objective was to get the old, pre-Cosmic Jean Grey *back,* and alive, and blame-free of the crimes and genocide of Dark Phoenix, you have to go *BACK* to the original crucible following Dark Phoenix’s re-solution, return to the seabed under Jamacia Bay and see what you can syphon and decant off from this fresh solution and see what can be made, or remade of that.

A man from another planet who feels alien, has to adapt to human society and learn their ways, and always has to hold back to avoid hurting everyone. He's one of the most interesting characters to-date.
Batman isnt relatable either, hes a mentally ill billionare ninja who knows every martial art ever and fucked every female in the dc universe and also has a squad of mentslly ill ninjas....
Grant Morrison understands what Superman truly is, all that power but he still vulnerable to emotional conflicts just like us

Saying Batman is better is edgy wtf?!
I agree but Batman is still better.
True suffering has never left America, the paint hiding all the suffering just got glossier.

I never knew Grant Morrison looked like Lex Luthor.That's honestly really ironic.
Every bald white guy looks like Luthor, so...
Grant looks like Damian Wayne Batman 666. The character design is modelled on him
Uto Resa 519 - In 1992, when he first shaved his head, Grant Morrison *didn’t* look like Lex Luthor -
Because in 1992, Lex Luthor looked like Eric Stoltz - The Dark Marty McFly.

There's only a handful of writers that i truly believe "get" characters but Grant just fundamentally understands Superman and I love it
can we just give grant ALL THE MONEY to write man of steel 2?
abubakarhimself it's my dream that Matthew Vaughan would direct, and grant morrison would write. That's my dream team.
NO! Man of Steel is a piece of shit that NEEDS to be buried forever! Grant is good to write a reboot!
He should've wrote BATMAN V. SUPERMAN with J.J. Abrams co-writing and directing the film!
No. He'd design a perfect, flawless, ultimately boring and overly wonderful character who would do nothing but remind us how wonderful he is.
Dantius if you think that Grant doesn’t write an interesting or human Superman, you haven’t read All Star Superman or his Action Comics run.
Man, I’ve never been a Grant Morrison fan but... but darn it, he gets it when it comes to Superman.
Grant Morrison is the F*cking MAN
Grant Morrison clearly shows a respect and understanding of who Superman is, what he stands for, and how he's relatable.
Grant Morrison with his accent and he has so much expression when he talks I love it !
That accent is thicker than the surface of Krypton.

Square this thoughtful insight with Zack Snyder rambling a stream of consciousness about how he wants the fight scenes to look cool.
Literally anyone who misunderstands and dismisses Superman as "haha big buff man too strong boring superhero" thinks otherwise.
Grant Morrison is one of the Best Comic writer DC ever have 👌👌
He understands the character so well
its nice having grant talk to us in a linear fashion
He truly understands Superman. So beautiful
grant morrison still blowing my mind, 30 years later
He is absolutely right. Superman is really the Best.

My favorite Morrison stories are Arkham Asylum and All Star Superman
Same
Get a haircut Morrison, you Hippy!
What hair? 😕
Despite being a Batman guy, I share Superman's values more. An alien who has arrived Earth to be one of ours, not to rule over us.
great video!! please make more!!
i think Morrison did very much for DCU and he is really great writer, but god dammit, i understood like 5 words :D
That just means you aren't drunk enough.
nah, your brain's just missing a couple lobes
I'm Brazillian, I've been learning English the past years, and I understand better other Grant Morrison's interviews.
Well, he is Scottish. And a fine Scotsman he is. =)
I think that’s more of your problem than his.
The music and visuals are really great in this

Because Batman is JUST SO MUCH MORE REALISTIC.

Caleb Mayfield It's not an actual weakness but he also doesn't have a defense against it so that's kind of what I was referring to
