“ I was actually able, to look at some of these REALLY Dark, sort of Human Feelings and just sort of process them through The Work —
Y’know, Darkseid, Dr. Hurt —
those were the characters
that come out of thinking :
“There are actually people out there who would REALLY want to see you FUCKED-UP,
they would CHEER —”
and I didn’t really think they existed before,
I thought ultimately you could make friends with everyone,
and get them to laugh
and somehow —
That doesn’t...
That doesn’t work like that..... •grins•
And when we were doing Final Crisis, any Superman : Beyond and Batman : RIP,
it was about that idea, of almost a sort of
Post-Traumatic SuperHero —
The Man Who's Seen it All and Done it All --
and who's come back and still,
somewhere in His Soul,
he's dragging out this last, little iota of Hope....
....and I had to be
SHOWN, y’know —
“THIS is What it FEELS Like to be on course for The Road to The Absolute Self —
Do Ya Wanna Do That,
Do You Wanna Go There?
Do You Want to
Follow This Down...?”
And The Answer that becomes clear, obviously, is :
“Of Course Not —
You Wanna Have
President Superman,
and
Multiple Worlds,
and Hope.”
