"Despite that last thing I said I'm actually a big fan. So hey, I have a question, do you ever deal with the problems at large. You stop purse thieves, petty robberies and gang wars but what about the corrupt politician raising taxes that drives them to it? The fat cat that get fatter on their suffering. The anti felon policies and stigma that make getting and keeping an honest job after release hell, so they just go right back to it..'suppose there's not much even you could do about that, huh?"
“You see... I get asked this a lot. ‘If I’m so super why can’t I do anything about the state of the world?’. ‘Why aren’t you dealing with the big problems like warlords or corrupt world leaders that are letting their people suffer..’ And that’s... Well.. That’s because those aren’t my battles to fight. True, I could storm the homes of every world leader and threaten to level their country, destroy their home, or do other unspeakable things- Use my power to manipulate them, scare them into changing...
But what would that accomplish? The moment I’m gone, when the threat of me making good on those words is no more, they’ll just go back to their wicked ways like nothing had changed at all.. Because that’s not how change happens in the world.”
“One man can’t make the world a better place. I can inspire good, I can help people to live better lives and stop crimes when they happen but I am not the revolution humanity needs. The only way true change can happen is when the people call out that they have had enough, and they come together and decide it’s time to change.. And when they do I’ll be there to help them. But I can’t make people change. I can’t fight political battles if we ever want real progression in the world... If I do the fighting for them, they won’t be able to look back and celebrate their freedom for themselves. They would do it to thank me rather than honor their own bravery and sacrifice. I never want war. I never want violence.. But I do want the rallying cry of people going out and making a difference in the world, not because Superman is the spearheading the charge- or because Superman said so- but because they are willing to do it for themselves.”
