“There’s been a lot of Controversy in the last few years over whether female superheroes are overly sexualized in comic books. What’s your take on that?

I try to ignore the controversy and just give each character a lot of individuality. For instance, there’s a lot of controversy about Power Girl’s boobs. Frankly, her big boobs are part of her whole persona. People asked me, “Why didn’t you give her smaller boobs?” I said, “Then it’s going to become all about the boobs.” We wanted to acknowledge that she looks the way she looks and move on to the story. She just happens to be a character that has gigantic boobs.

I wouldn’t draw Supergirl the same way, because in my head she’s a teenage girl and she’s not done growing yet. I try and give each individual character their own body type — I’d like to think I do it with male characters too. For instance, I would draw Nightwing leaner and more wiry than Batman”
