Post Dan Radcliffe: "Superman … was too perfect."

In an interview done in the midst of filming Order of the Phoenix, Dan Radcliffe speaks about playing an angry Harry.

Quote:
I think Harry this time, he is angry and he has every right to be. And also, he ... actually ... I think he is actually quite frail. He is very vulnerable this year and that is great to play.

You know, you've got all these archetypal super heroes sort of flying around these days...but I think the best heroes are the ones with flaws. That's what I think's great about Batman. He is so weak in some ways as well. I think that works so well with the character, same with Spiderman. Superman is ... um ... when I was reading comics, Superman was never my favorite. He was too perfect.

… there is one scene where I do ... I get to break a lot of things. It's very ... with any luck it should be very, very powerful. I will actually film the scene in Dumbledore's office where he talks about Sirius and how Dumbledore's responsible for Sirius' death indirectly. We do that next Monday. I am really looking forward to that.
