Super Heroes Quotes

I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. Mmm. But the mythology... The mythology is not only great it's unique. How long does this shit take to go into effect? About two minutes. Just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S" — that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears — the glasses, the business suit — that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.

Kill Bill: Vol. 2
Bill
human, people

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon -
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you.
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end.

If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and will you be there holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might — kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep.
You took for granted all the times I never let you down.
