Character Quote by Max Landis

“What it comes down to is I don't mind if…” quote by Max Landis — Download Open image

“What it comes down to is I don't mind if Superman kills people because he has no reason not to kill people. I know that one of the tenets of the character is that he doesn't, but the reason that he doesn't is because having that much power makes you responsible for weaker people.”
