Yeah...like acknowledging the reality of the millions of single/unwed mothers in our society today.
Imagine that!
A movie actually bothering to deal with realities we'd rather ignore!
Reality...just another liberal agenda.
LOL.
Some people just have dumb taglines. seeing the world how it is, does nothing to change it for the better. You suffer from moral relativism.

There's a world of difference between acknowledging something and glorifying it, between admitting to the fact of its existence and presenting it as desirable, a proper role model or as something to be emulated.
The creators of Superman intended and conceived of the character as a role model, a champion of the morals and values to which we should aspire, a fighter for good over evil, and an icon to inspire us towards those same goals.
They did not intend for it to be a celebration, nor even a mere documentary or chronicle of the "gritty", "seamy" or even just plain "real" aspects of society. The purpose of the Superman mythos was not "to deal with realities we'd rather ignore!", it was to inspire us to strive towards those noble goals of which we dream. If you want gritty portrayals of reality, rent the Frank Miller Sin City DVD.
It appears from the reviews I have read that the movie's creators may have even achieved some of those inspirational goals. I will know better after I've seen it. However, their deliberate choice to portray the Lois Lane character as an unwed mother undermines that purpose and is a serious flaw in the movie.
It is an undeniable reality that there are millions of unwed/single mothers in our society today, but it is also an undeniable reality that this is not a good thing. The movie creators' choice to portray the Lois Lane character as an intelligent, capable, Pulitzer Prize winning professional journalist, a role model for little girls everywhere, who also CHOOSES to be an unwed mother, sends a clear message that this is a perfectly acceptable or desirable choice for SMART women today.
They didn't have to do it this way, but they were determined to plug an agenda whether you can acknowledge that reality or not.
