A superhero's catchphrase should be like a really memorable advertising slogan. It sticks in your head and you can't stop humming it. And let's face it, superheroes are just really selling themselves as products.

Technology isn't a villain. Technology should help, but if you just use the technology for the sake of technology, then you're cheating your audience. You're not giving them the best story and the best direction and so forth.

When you combine the great stories from the comics with the action and visual excitement of the movies, it doesn't get any better!

It's the fact that fans still care. I like all the comics conventions: The smaller ones are easier, the bigger ones are exciting.... Each one I say: Never again. But they're all great.... These things are important because they keep the fans' interest alive in comics. They keep the fans reading and their imaginations stimulated.

I love all the voiceovers I do. I can't remember them all, but I seem to do them all of the time. And there's nothing easier because you just stand and read the script, and you don't have to act the way actors do. You don't have to be made up and put costumes on.

I couldn't say no when I received that offer [to re-invent the DC characters]... How can any writer say no to the opportunity of redoing every one of DC's top superheroes?

It is impossible to do a movie exactly the way a comic book is written and drawn, just as it's impossible to do a movie exactly like a novel or exactly like anything else. When you go to different forms of media, you have to adapt.

If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.
Stan Lee
Image
I am so impressed with people who can really make a big movie, a good movie. The amount of work that goes into it is incredible.
Stan Lee

You always exaggerate things in a movie. If it makes a good visual and it excites the kids that's good.

I couldn't afford [buying Marvel]. I hope I have enough money for dinner tonight!

There's never a time when I'm not working. I don't take vacations.

The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.

Comics are stories they're like novels or anything else. So the first thing you have to do is become a good storyteller.

I had a publisher who felt comics were just for little kiddies, so he never wanted me to use words of more than two syllables.

Negative information is that which, immediately upon acquiring, causes the recipient to know less than he did before.
