    Another chance to post this…

    From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.

    Superman was always woke you dummy.

      I know we never measured up to these ideals, but at least we had them. Painful to see.

      I don’t know what social media Gunn uses, but someone should get him to recreate this poster with David.

      The very notion of superman is woke. With his powers, he could rule earth. Instead he helps kids and little old ladies with nothing to gain for himself. The guy is empathy incarnate.

    The argument that “I like immigrants, but don’t let them change our culture” has been around for a long time. They’d say that about Italians, and now I can find a pizza place all over town. Seems like they can change it for the better to me.

      He’s also not white so what does he gain from making a stink about this? Japanese superman was the most woke thing to exist until 2018, he’s got no room to talk. His show was also basically about superman’s girlfriend, an extremely woke interpretation of superman. We can do this all day lmao

    Worst Superman has harsh words for creator of better Superman. After playing the part for a decade, Dean Cain still doesn’t understand the character.

    Well, Superman wasn’t born in the U.S.A to parents in the U.S.A…

    He travelled as an unaccompanied minor to the USA. I hate to say it but it seems pretty obvious to me he’s not from 'round here with the whole flying and laser eyes thing too.

      Superman wasn’t born in the U.S.A

      DC furiously sweeping the “birthing pod” thing under the rug

      (New 52 erased this I believe)

    He couldn’t be possibly have been created by Immigrants /s

    Looks up Joe Shuster birth place… Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his mother being from Ukraine

    Looks up Jerry Siegel parents were from Lithuania

    Hell looking up their parents if superman couldn’t be an Immigrant he would be a Soviet.

    Also Dean Cain has always been a has been loser for a long time now.

    Dean Cain can lick a sweaty nutsack. An embarrassment in the history of Superman casting.
