“Superman spent his childhood baling hay on a farm, he’s a working class hero and people don’t like that. Whereas Batman is a billionaire who sleeps until three in the afternoon, puts on a rubber suit and beats the shit out of poor people. Now that’s a wish fulfilment fantasy.”

— Grant Morrison during a panel at the Edinburgh Book Festival (via operationfailure)
