The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”
When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”
“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”
Is thst still canon? I know it was officially changed at least by New 52 to be baby Kal-El in the ship from Krypton again. And then Post-Crisis canon was merged with New 52 Canon with Rebirth and Doomsday Clock, but I haven’t read a comic in years now. No idea what they settled on as his new origin. Either way though, non-lawful entry or born here with non-citizen birth parents, he would be considered an illegal or stateless immigrant under the current government. There is no getting around that Republicans.
Poor Supes has been retconned since he first appeared. For a while he could shapeshift and turn invisible.
He can’t fly, but he can leap over tall buildings in a single bound.

1940 animated version using rotoscopes. One of my favorite versions of the Man Of Steel.
Man got in a fistfight with electricity
And won!
I watched Young Justice when I was a kid, I remember the one in the black t-shirt only being able to do that. I think he was Superman’s nephew? Idk lol
The superboy in YJ was a government created half human half kryptonian. He was grown to teenager in a vat essentially.
In some versions he’s almost literally Supes and Lex’s son as Lex was the human half of the mix.
So, Supes is an illegal and he had a kid with another guy?
Also, the kid is dating Miss Martian, who is also an illegal alien and a shapeshifter who can become a boy if she wants to…
Get me my Bat-Shark Repellent!
No, not since 2009.
