Notable quotables from Grant Morrison's spotlight panel
On being greeted with a thunderous standing ovation:
“I can’t express what that means to me in words, so I’ll do it in the form of dance.” (He then proceeded to do a strange wriggly dance vaguely reminiscent of something out of The Invisibles.)
On realism in fiction:
“Why would you want fiction to be like the real world, because we’ve GOT the real world!”
On Superman:
“America created something they really have to live up to.”
On psychic/magical investment in King Mob vs. Batman:
“I just didn’t put as much of myself into Batman or else I’d have been buried alive.”
On Aquaman:
“Aquaman’s the baddest ass in the seven seas! You have to be a badass if you ride a giant seahorse!”
On whether there will be anything else involving the Invisibles:
“2012 is almost upon us so if I’m going to do something I better do it fast.”
On “The New Adventures of Hitler”, the never-reprinted 2000 AD story from the late 1980s:
“I loved the idea of Hitler learning everything he’d become in Liverpool because I fucking hated Thatcher.”
On Manos: The Hands of Fate:
“it’s funny how we never hear about the feet of Fate.”
On Jason Todd:
“You’ll definitely see him and Batman meeting again. I wouldn’t say they’d be working together but they’ll be in the same room again. But they won’t be working together. They might be punching each other.”
On Aunt Harriet:
“She’s already made an appearance and you missed it!”
On music:
“I like show tunes, I’m real fond of show tunes. I listen to West Side Story a lot.”
On the Schumacher Batman:
“I like those movies, honestly; the colors are great!”
And:
“Rubber tailoring is quite a specific art!”
