Neilalien links to a quote by Batman‘s Christian Bale, who tries to distance himself from the whole “comic book” thing.
I’m reminded of Kirsten Dunst who, on some cable channel promo-show for the first Spider-Man movie, in response to being asked if she read the Spidey comics as a kid, laughingly said “look at me! Do I look like I read comics?”
Also I’m reminded of Halle Berry, who, at the time of the first X-Men movie, was apparently complaining on a talk show about, due to the lack of roles available to a black woman, being “reduced” to playing a comic book character. (Berry claims she never said anything like this.)
At least John Travolta has the right attitude.
