Cain was spurred to this line of questioning after Gunn, who directed the upcoming Superman, likened the near-century old comic book character's story to "the story of America." Gunn summed up his Superman as "an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country," and his Superman as "a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost."

Cain said, "Superman's inherent weakness [is] his goodness," a quality he described as emblematic of the character's "great values." He even insisted, "We know Superman is an immigrant — he's a freaking alien." But Gunn has crossed a bridge too far, Cain believes.
