  • Something tells me the Porky Pig wasn't Jewish but I bet a lot of anti semites think Elmur Fudd was.

  • I'm pretty sure Batman's Catholic

  • Haha i was in yeshiva with this guy!!

  • The idea of a Superman originates from the true story of an 16th century Italian Franciscan monk who would levitate fly and show remarkable strength

  • @condorito29 I hope your last name does not end in EZ condorito. Otherwise, you and I need to talk about your Sephardic roots. 

  • l tought superman from kripton planet !!,,,

  • better you face who desinitely IS jewish.

  • @joeardinger1111

    He should really have been called Superstein to remove all doubt.

  • There are clear elements of both Jewish AND Christian mythology in Superman. Moses didn't have super powers, unlike Christ, and wasn't sent by his father to help save the people among whom he dwelled and was raised, who were in fact the ENEMIES of his people.
