-> "Anyway, now Batman has a dream sequence where the world is taken over by evil Superman and this is where we see dream Batman using a gun to kill people. And people like to say, "Oh well, it's a dream sequence so it doesn't really count" and I'm not even joking when I say that that's still too far for me. Batman is the kind of guy whose inner voice refers to himself as Batman!... He is so deeply connected and devoted to his insane core values that I can't see this and think it's anything other than ridiculous!"

->''"Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. [...] What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race."''

Author Existence Failure (now renamed to Died During Production) is a trope for dying before finishing a work, not anytime a creator hypothetically died.


->''[[ShadowArchetype The other one, the one called Borges, is the one things happen to]]. I walk through the streets of Buenos Aires and stop for a moment, perhaps mechanically now, to look at the arch of an entrance hall and the grillwork on the gate; [[SacredCow I know of Borges from the mail and see his name on a list of professors or in a biographical dictionary]]. I like hourglasses, maps, eighteenth-century typography, the taste of coffee and the prose of Stevenson; he shares these preferences, [[LargeHam but in a vain way that turns them into the attributes of an actor]]. It would be an exaggeration to say that ours is a hostile relationship; I live, let myself go on living, so that Borges may contrive his literature, and this literature justifies me. It is no effort for me to confess that he has achieved some valid pages, but those pages cannot save me, perhaps because what is good belongs to no one, not even to him, but rather to the language and to tradition. Besides, [[AuthorexistenceFailure I am destined to perish, definitively]], and only some instant of myself can [[OutlivedItsCreator survive in him]]. Little by little, I am giving over everything to him, though I am quite aware of his perverse custom of falsifying and magnifying things.''\\

->Klar Kent sighed. The role each of the chosen El males was handed was as much a constriction as an honor. It was nothing less than having to protect a world and, very often, a universe.\\
One had to become two men, and to pretend one had nothing to do with the other. It was not as easy a thing as one might expect. The third Superman had to pretend his Kent-self had been killed, and to take up the name of Jon Hudson. The fourth Superman's identity had been revealed during a monorail accident. One Superman had simply abandoned his secret identity, becoming a full-time Man of Steel until his son was old enough to succeed him. More than once, a Superman had suspected himself of becoming quietly schizophrenic.

->"I can do something that only two other people can do. I can, I can, you know what I can do, and when I do it, it's like nothing you could ever imagine, if you haven't ever done it before. I can fly through space fast enough to reach the Sun and back inside a day, easy. I can lift just about anything, maybe including the Earth. I can punch through solid steel and laugh off bullets. The whole world knows the other me, Mom, and the other me has done so much good. So much. But then... But then I have to say the word again, and I'm just me. Plain little old Mary Batson again. And I've got to hide it, pretend, make believe I'm not the other me. Somebody might come and kill you and Jives for revenge, or kill me before I could say the word. Not that they haven't tried!"
