competence element level people scary seems stories worried
I like stories where people have to face some big demons internally. It always seems to be an element of horror, because it's pretty scary to have to face yourself and the things you're most worried about: your own abilities and your own capabilities and your own level of competence in being a hero.

Name some European companies and chances are average U.S. citizens have heard of a lot of them, which provides an immediate comfort level based on name recognition.
cruel exhausting families limit meaning past people push tv
TV didn't show how cruel this was to them, ... It showed rescues, but not people with no homes, no families because they were gone. It was exhausting in every meaning of the word. You had to push to the limit and push past it. You can't think of yourself.
bruce excited exciting gravitate piece psychology respect toward using wayne
When I get the possibility of using a character like Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson, I try and think about what's most exciting or interesting about them as a person, so I try and think what they are at their core, or what piece of their psychology do I gravitate toward that I respect, and I'm excited by it when I read books about them.
grad history liked relatively took
I've always been a relatively big history buff. In college, I took a lot of history courses, and when I was in grad school, I liked to audit them.
plenty region showing value
We still see plenty of upside. That region is still showing the most value.
basis certainly country market people region room value
We still see more value in the Asia-Pacific region than in the U.S. market, where people are still panicking over inflation. On a 15- to 20-year basis for a country like Japan, which has had years of market turmoil, there is certainly still room to run.

This is a very pragmatic approach which was completely absent for the last four years.
adhere asked books historical school teacher
I remember when I was in school I had this teacher give me this E.L. Doctorow quote: They asked him how much historical research he does for his books and he said, 'As little as possible.' So I try and adhere to that.
looks kind look-up
On this global stage, Superman is someone that we can all look up to and he's almost kind of ultimately American.
blood giving vampire
Vampires as creatures have evolved over time as different vampire bloodlines have hit different populations of humans. Every once in a while the blood will make something new and mutate into a new species with different powers, abilities, weakness, physical characteristics, and so on. I don't want to give anything away, but there are whole species and branches that date all the way back to pre-modern times.
fun humorous thinking
I was on Batman with "Superheavy" or "Zero Year" where there was a lot of fun and bombast, but it was also personal. [In All-Star], I wanted to take that to its complete extreme, like the end of the Earth extreme, where it's over-the-top humorous, yet at the same time really deeply about what I think is of this particular moment in time, at least for me. The things I'm terrified of and the things I'm hopeful about. My life is the page.
character
One of the things that's great is that Batman is a character that lends himself to very personal stories.
thinking worry scary
This one's like that because it's about these things that I think weigh heavily on me in terms of my own failings and the things that I worry about and my personal demons. Is the sum of my personal demons greater than the things that I like about myself? Is this moment - because it's a particulary high tension, scary moment for all of us in terms of the global climate - going to bring out the best or the worst in us?
