"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."
