    Are we just ignoring the Latino Superman from that one Flashpoint movie Gods and Monsters? Fuck they mean "strong white male archetype"? Motherfuckers clearly only ever watched Man of Steel and based everything they know about Kal-El off that (obnoxiously hyper-"gritty") interpretation

      Are you talking about the one from "Gods and Monsters"? I wish the whole movie had been about that version of Superman and left out all the other stuff.

      A Superman that gets adopted by illegal immigrants, thus emphasizing the immigrant aspect of the character, which is always there but always downplayed by the Smallville white family backstory? Great, interesting!

      Then there's Batman ... but a vampire? Wonder-Woman ... but a New God and she doesn't respect consent? Uhhh ... ? Coulda left all that shit out.

        That was it, I think I might've mixed that one up with a Flashpoint bc my partner and I watched those on the same night. Yeah, I could've gone for an entire movie about that Superman
