Batman Quotes - page 7
In his interview with RT, Moore said he probably "was in a bad mood about comics” when he made the remark, but stood by his comparison of characters like Daredevil or Batman to the Klansmen riding to quash a black riot in the Griffith movie.
"I think that there is something that possibly dates back to... the Ku Klux Klan intervention in ‘Birth of a Nation', the idea of dressing up in a mask, so that what you do doesn't get back to you,” Moore said.
Alan Moore
He's clearly a man with a mission, but it's not one of vengeance. Bruce is not after personal revenge... He's much bigger than that; he's much more noble than that. He wants the world to be a better place, where a young Bruce Wayne would not be a victim... In a way, he's out to make himself unnecessary. Batman is a hero who wishes he didn't have to exist.
Frank Miller
I knew many homosexuals but I certainly didn't think of Batman in those terms. I thought of it in terms of ... Frank Merriwell and Dick Merriwell, his half-brother, who was the kid he was taking care of. ... In America we always talk about the Western hero and the pioneer kind of man-the Davy Crockett types-as being loners. They're never really. They always have a sidekick. ... Certainly there's no homosexual relationship. It's just part of the American syndrome. ... It was just that the author realized that you've gotta have somebody to talk to. Sherlock Holmes had Watson-were they homosexuals? Baloney. You just can't have your hero walking around thinking aloud all the time. He'd be ready for the men in white coats after a time. So we created a junior Watson and that's all [Robin] was.
Bill Finger
!["[as Tim Burton] Anyone who knows me will tell you that I would never read a comic book." Which, to me, explains fucking Batman. (Kevin Smith)](https://static.quotesdtb.com/img/quotes_images/47/kevin-smith-anyone-batman-1015047.jpg)
