“I mean, Superman is the story of America,” the Superman helmer told The Times U.K. in a new profile. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”

He's our alien protector from another world.

Good luck with that. They need stories like this to fulfill their daily rage quota. They'll move on to something else next week.

All of this shite is so ridiculous. What a joke of a world we live in.

Deport him.

Superman is a legal citizen, and a model minority
Both are kryptonite for leftists
Pun very much intended

This dude is one of the most self-indulgent people in Hollywood and that's saying something

I mean, sure, technically, he's an illegal alien but the emphasis should be on the alien part. It's not like he's standing outside Lowe's or picking strawberries. People need to be kind to Superman, Yeah, he could easily kill all of humanity and his presence alone threatens America, but whatever, he didn't take your job or chisel welfare and health care off of taxpayers.
All of you red state people are anti-kind assholes, hurting Superman's feelings like that. He's just an immigrant that came here for a better life. Diversity is our strength.

But screw them.”

It’s definitely an interesting take. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being an immigrant. The problem is the word “immigrant” has been bastardized to mean darker skinned people wading across a river in S Texas. This country was founded by immigrants.

The problem is that every time a righty hears "immigrant", they think "illegal immigrant"
Posted on 7/8/25 at 10:47 am to boogiewoogie1978
Have we really gotten this bad with the politics where any time anyone says anything it's bad regardless of context because it doesn't fit the narrative.
The dudes that created Superman were Jewish immigrants. Superman has always been an immigrant story the damn creators said this years ago.

My bad. I must've confused him with Moral Compass of Our Time, James Gunn.

Leftists don't use the term "illegal immigrant." The mainstream Democrat/leftist view, which these actors almost certainly fall in line with, is that there is no such thing as an "illegal" immigrant.

Then let lefties look like idiots, then
Words mean things
Not all immigrants are illegal
All illegal immigrants are illegal
Deport all the illegals.
