Remember when Superman stood for truth, justice and the American way? Then again, Clark Kent is technically an illegal alien – a native of Krypton.
I reckon it’s only a matter of time before DC Comics unleashes other superheroes in its corporate quest to defend the alien invaders.
So don’t be surprised to see the Flash rushing Mexicans across the border or Wonder Woman using her lasso to round up Texas ranchers trying to defend their property.
It’s unfortunate that DC Comics is turning its stable of iconic heroes into political pawns – hell-bent on indoctrinating our kids.
The offensive comic panels:
The Hollywood Reporter article offers this:
Superman, as envisioned by his creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel back in 1938, is not only the literal embodiment of the immigrant dream, he’s the perfect example of those currently at the center of the decision to rescind the DACA program: someone who arrived in the United States as a child as the result of his parents’ actions, without paperwork or going through the right channels, who had dedicated his life to not only fitting into U.S. society, but making U.S. society a better place.
The immigrant part of Superman’s origin is often glossed over, or outright ignored, by those who see the hero as being “all-American” in every way — in 1986, his origin was even rewritten, temporarily, so that he was actually “born” in the U.S. with his spaceship being reclassified as a “birthing matrix” because Kryptonians weren’t brought to term biologically — but it’s an important piece not only of his history, but of the vision of the United States that Superman represents.
In some ways, Superman is, at heart, an optimistic story about the United States itself. The fact that the character comes from “out there” (Metaphorically, another country, as represented by another planet because, well, comics) can not only come to be accepted by America, but be seen as representing the best of America, an inspirational figure that everyone looks up to — that’s the American dream in action, isn’t it? (In Action Comics, at least, if you’ll excuse the pun.) That’s the way things are supposed to work, according to the United States advertised on the Statue of Liberty’s “New Colossus” plaque and the one that lives in its citizens’ hearts.
