As the article points out, this younger Superman will not necessarily tow the line and can in fact lose his temper -- even towards the law.
"Superman is just a guy who is very young at this point, and he has big ideas about what is right and wrong," Morrison said. "And he has the power to implement those ideas. It means that he can maybe go a little too far. To a certain extent, he enjoys being on his own because no one can get hurt and it's all down to him. But at the same time, that means there's no limit on him as he loses his temper."
In regards to the overall creative thrust of the Action Comics, he says, "The whole thing we're doing in this new Superman is to watch him learn and grow and progress, and I find that's what makes the big difference. The guy we had before was in his prime. He was eternally in his prime, and everything he did was going to work out. So what we're trying to do is bring back that proactive Superman, but also allow him to change and to make these mistakes and to get beaten up a bit, and to have to come back and rethink his mission. I wanted to see him sweat a little and to bleed a little," Morrison said, "and to restore him to a kind of humanity that we could all understand before moving him on."
