Not surprised the republicons are afraid of him,
and so spew their usual fountain of hate.

(98,600 posts)I remember the occasional sermonette on kindness and fair play to those who were different in some way.
Comics with war stories reliably had episodes where half a dozen men from all over the US ended up in a foxhole together and had to resolve their own prejudices in order to fight Hitler.
Of course Superman was woke. Why the hell else would he be fighting for truth, justice, and the American Way.
It wasnt until my own kids were grown that I read a book or two on who was creating comics in those days, and got why such themes were top of mind in that part of the creative world.

(52,546 posts)The two characters in all comics whose origin stories do NOT need to be recorded to film are Superman and Batman. People who've never cracked the cover of a comic book know Superman's origins. If they would have left out the origin story they could have used the entire two hours to let Superman solve the problem the movie is about. I definitely plan to see the film, probably Thursday - I don't have to be at work until 10 pm then so I have time - but how much better could the movie be without going over what we already know?
