(Andrae, 1983): "... I was inspired by the movies. In the silent films, my hero was Douglas Fairbanks Senior, who was very agile and athletic. So I think he might have been an inspiration to us, even in his attitude. He had a stance which I often used in drawing Superman. You'll see in many of his roles—including Robin Hood—that he always stood with his hands on his hips and his feet spread apart, laughing—taking nothing seriously." (Em vaig inspirar en les pel·lícules. A les pel·lícules mudes, el meu heroi era Douglas Fairbanks sènior, que era molt àgil i atlètic. Així que crec que podria haver estat una inspiració per a nosaltres, fins i tot en la seva actitud. Tenia una postura que utilitzava sovint per dibuixar Superman. Ho veuràs en molts dels seus papers. —inclòs Robin Hood— que sempre estava dret amb les mans als malucs i els peus separats, rient, sense prendre res seriosament.)

Jerry Siegel, citat a (Andrae, 1983): "I loved The Mark of Zorro, and I'm sure that had some influence on me. I did also see The Scarlet Pimpernel but didn't care much for it."

(Andrae, 1983): Siegel: "As a high school student, I thought that someday I might become a reporter, and I had crushes on several attractive girls who either didn't know I existed or didn't care I existed. […] It occurred to me: What if I was real terrific? What if I had something special going for me, like jumping over buildings or throwing cars around or something like that? Then maybe they would notice me." Andrae, Thomas«Of Supermen and Kids with Dreams».Nemo: The Classic Comics Library.Fantagraphics,8-1983,p.6–19.

Siegel, Jerry. Creation of A Superhero(Scribd)(en anglès)[Consulta: 30 novembre 2025].«In movies, I had seen "The Scarlet Pimpernel", "The Mark of Zorro" and Rudolph Valentino in "The Eagle", and I thought that a mighty hero, who in another identity pretended to be an ineffectual weakling, made for great dramatic contrast. In addition, it would, in a comic strip, permit some humorous characterization. (A les pel·lícules, havia vist "The Scarlet Pimpernel", "The Mark of Zorro" i Rudolph Valentino a "The Eagle", i vaig pensar que un heroi poderós, que en una altra identitat es feia passar per un feble ineficaç, feia un gran contrast dramàtic. A més, permetria, en una tira còmica, alguna caracterització humorística".»
