"People have a very proprietary relationship with Superman. It's important to respect the iconography and the canon, but at the same time, you have to tell a story."

Comics have a problem, and that is continuity - the obsession with placing the characters in an existing world, where every event is marked in canon. You're supposed to believe that these weepy star boys of now are the same gung-ho super teens fighting space monsters in the '60s, and they've only aged perhaps five years.
