On Comicvine, on August 22, 2011, Corey Schroeder explained that “when we hear inside the head of someone like Superman or even Lex Luthor, it humanizes them, makes them more relatable, and ultimately more understandable.” We personally feel that the last part of that statement is a mistake. The desire to explain a character’s behaviour tends to reduce them rather than make them more complex. We prefer to let readers develop their own interpretations based on their own reference points, rather than imposing the author’s views. Comic books aren’t novels. The artwork should offer plenty of interpretive clues.
