Superman is an illegal immigrant.

Ironically, the Americans do not like immigrants LOL

He is the Man of Steel, he is fighting for humanity, not the stupid dreams of US people. for that they have his Capn america and for me, its stupid partiotism, Superman is the Best alongside Batman!!!!

Superman is supposed to be humanity's savior not just America's.

Superman was not even born in America, he wasn't even born on Earth! What reason is there that he should protect America only? Oh, and we should also take into account the fact that he is a fictional character!

[PurcellPolitics]

In "The American Way: Why Superman Got It Wrong" written by author Thomas Purcell, he describes in detail how American Exceptionalism was a hard won process; and not something we were born with. He explains why Superman would never have done this and explores the reasons why in "The American Way" that the rest of the world should be striving to be more like America, not the other way around. You can get it on Amazon. Kindle its only like 3 bucks.

the superman premise is of course silly, but the last time supermans writers said screw you and baZingGa to readers and viewers that I paid attention,, was the ending of the first cris reeve movie, when he saved lois' life by reversing the earths spin,,

[extrapressure]

well if you don't like america superman, you can geeet out!

[tarjay35]

@XSonicAdventureX so that he wouldn't be seen as a political tool by the u.s. and show that he wants to save everyone on the planet. also, if people saw him fighting in america's name in iran, the people would get angry and want to fight the us. so by doing this, he's not only attemting to save lives internationally, he's also still protecting american lives too. besides, why should he have to only protect americans? and what if he doesn't agree with our policies?
