That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Curious to see what his motive is, since he was fine keeping his citizenship when flippin' Lex Luthor was President.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

I bet Clark Kent voted for Obama like most of his peeps in the MSM.

I bet Wonder Woman does an ad for Planned Parenthood next?

Yes, as we've all seen by the actions of Sarah Palin and her litter of hellspawn, "planning" is one thing Republicans won't have any of when it comes to parenthood.

Looks like he's trying to lose association with the US because we're no longer a good brand name, while going political on an anti-iranian bent.

I think there's some debris hanging around from domestic US politics that maybe doesn't apply here.

Keep the Shiny side up

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are probably spinning in their graves.

They were pretty hardcore zionists, they'd be down with the anti-Iranian slant, but I agree they wouldn't be cool with the unamericanness. IIRC, this isn't the first time it has happened, didn't we have a discussion a while back that they wanted to go with red white and blue and that was scuttled as appearing american imperialist? Or was that theory debunked?

I do find this interesting: Superman was originally evil:

Clearly his fascist origins betray him, and he gained hair so the bald could be passed to Lex Luthor. It's 1933, fascism is just getting its game on, and the "profile of a criminal" physcial determinism is still circulating as a major school of thought. Bald is clearly evil. I guess is still is, except for Bruce Willis.

The fascist evilness of Superman has always bothered me in his machiavellian world view. I remember a college assignment on the politics of superman I said "It's just random luck in a contrived world that makes superman's moral values coincide with the people he's saving, because he brings in his own world view and forces it on them with an iron fist"

Now I'd say: Maybe he's a problem-crisis-solution guy. Sure, the writers do the job so he doesn't have to, but the disaster is created so that he can solve it, creating allegiance to Superman. Lex Luthor is not given a genetic determinist edge, and is only human, and the writers neatly kitten everything he does with unacceptable side effects to get us to oppose him.

When did Superman get all political? Oh. Right.
