Erich Origen: As we began writing this story, we saw the advent of the "jobless recovery", and we started to think about its causes —the many longstanding structural flaws within our economy. We saw how the Great Recession traced its roots to the demise of the Great Prosperity, which ran from the late 1940s to the late 1970s. Americans invented superheroes in the Great Depression; they rose to power, like America, during the Great Prosperity—a time when the common good was a cherished ideal, prosperity was achieved on a much broader scale, and anything seemed possible. Their stories are uniquely American symbols of our hopes and dreams. By showing unemployed and downtrodden superheroes, we're showing how far we've fallen since the Great Prosperity. Our book is a story of ordinary superheroes, down but not out, struggling to make their way in a world where the old truths still apply... but only for those at the very top.
Gan Golan: We also understood the importance of using story and humor to get at the truth in ways that documentary can't. The underlying story shows how heroic everyday people have been disempowered by economic forces and ideologies—as represented by the villains. Today, Superman is displaced by Supercapitalism and Superlotto and Supermax. Villains are ascendant. And yet, the villains think of themselves as the actual superheroes! So to begin our daring escape from the Great Recession, we as a society must name and confront the sinister villains of our time. But we also need to laugh, to cry, and to gain power over the story that dominates our lives—so we can reclaim our true superpowers.
