Kalau tengah malam saya tiba-tiba bangun, mendadak saya suka takut mati. Saya tengok ke kiri, ke kanan, ke atas, lalu sembunyi di balik selimut, setelah berani sedikit, lalu keluar kamar, memperhatikan ruang tengah yang kosong. Lalu mulai berfikir, mungkin di situ saya berbaring nanti kalau mati, di bungkus kain putih. Di kelilingi orang-orang yang mungkin sayang sama saya, mungkin juga tidak. Mereka duduk melingkar, ada yang menangis, ada yang membaca Al-Quran. Setelah itu saya takut lagi, takut kalau benar-benar mati, saya masuk kamar lagi. Masuk kebalik selimut lagi. Tidur lagi.
The mythology of Superheros Comic is not only great, it's unique. there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man and it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. 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. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. 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...
