In the most recent issue of Action Comics, Superman comes to the rescue of a group of illegal aliens — under attack from a white guy wearing an American flag bandana and waving around a machine gun. …This sick propaganda is further left than that twisted Red Son series where Kal-El landed in the USSR instead of the USA.
The Dark Knight Returns and it’s portrayal of Superman becoming a privileged brat, sure it showed him with Ronald Reagan but he was on the side of political correctness and an obstruction to Batman in that one.
Red Son was actually a pretty good story, about how things would have been different if the commies had an unstoppable superweapon — and hidden
in the story was the particular gem that as a philosophy it's utterly bankrupt, because it can only 'hold' while being forced to (ie at the barrel of a gun
) — it also had America rising up to the challenge (via Lex Luthor) of defying a superwapon/alien-invasion. (It's also interesting to note that after Luthor kills
Superman, Superman just 'retires', just fading into the background.)
He admitted that he was wrong in Red Son though. That’s the big kicker.
