James Gunn has no time for moviegoers would take offense to him embracing the political themes in Superman's story for his upcoming film heading to theaters next week.
The David Corenswet-led flick encompasses the DC comic's origins — akin to "the story of America" — and at a basic level, is about a man searching for a better life after leaving his original home (planet), the 58-year-old director and co-head of DC Studios said in a new interview with The Times.
"I mean, Superman is the story of America," Gunn told the publication. "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."
It isn't as if the idea of Clark Kent/Superman being political is a novel concept; the superhero was created by sons of Jewish immigrants, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. And any comic book reader worth their salt can understand that the Krypton-born alien's origins mean he's a refugee sent to Earth by parents wanting him to live a better life than he would have on an imploding planet.
And if they see reason to protest that fact, they can take it up with DC Comics, which used the hero's visage to back World Refugee Day in 2018.

There is a difference between immigrants taming a hostile continent and immigrants sneaking in to get free stuff. They now come to a land where railroads and highways have made trade easy and where welfare is like honey to the kind of people you don’t want.
see mexican riots
Hollywood needs a nuke dropped on it.
i am PAYING for entertainment
PSAs are free
no charges for the kiddie porn?
Way to alienate the public!
Krypton no.
But Latin American countries do welcome humans even human Americans, with wide arms
They wrote “jokes” that were truly filthy about having sex or wanting to have sex with little kids.
I’m not making this up, he was fired by Disney but money talks.
James Gunn?
Low caliber, low T
He must have a dei agent advising him what to say-
He’s already been paid.
Exactly.
I’m just going to wait for the DVD on this one.
If I recall correctly, the name of Superman’s alter ego is Clark Kent. Kent is a Mexican name, so Superman is a Mexican-American.
Doing research...his whole family is hard lefty. Not suprised.

Good! Now let all illegal aliens in to movie houses free to see your love letter to them.
I can’t equate Superman with some of the people who came across our border.
Remember when we used to have borders? The Democrats don’t remember.
Gunn tweeted he “liked it when little boys touched him in his silly place.. Shhhh.”
A while ago, Disney cut ties with the YouTube channel Pewdiepie because of a video he did reacting to pictures. One picture was of a guy holding up an antisemitic sign. People found out that the photo was staged by Pewdiepie, who paid the guy to pose for the photo.
It’s clear that Gunnn didn’t actually push any antisemitic message with his video and that he himself isn’t an antisemite.........but Disney doesn’t want to be the company that pays a guy who pays people to hold up antisemitic signs.
Likewise, they don’t want to be the company who pays a guy that said he rapes children. They don’t care if he meant it. I know those kinds of jokes would get me fired from my job, and I’m not a public representative of the company like Gunn is.
This punk who plays Superman is a maga critic.
To hell with him and to hell with a woke movie here.
Well, James, you idiot, I can scratch off seeing that movie.
P.S. Screw you back.
