Topic: Breaking News:Superman ayaw na maging US citizen!

[wayneronaldo]

After recently undertaking a journey to walk -- not fly -- across the United States in the "Grounded" storyline and reconnect with the country and everyday Americans, Superman appears to be taking another step that could have major implications for his national identity: in Action Comics #900...

...Superman announces that he is going to give up his U.S. citizenship. Despite very literally being an alien immigrant, Superman has long been seen as a patriotic symbol of "truth, justice, and the American way," from his embrace of traditional American ideals to the iconic red and blue of his costume. What it means to stand for the "American way" is an increasingly complicated thing, however, both in the real world and in superhero comics, whose storylines have increasingly seemed to mirror current events and deal with moral and political complexities rather than simple black and white morality.

Oo why are comic books trying to mirror the real world? Do you think that someday there will be a Superman walking around this planet and being political.  This whole thing just doesn't make any sense.

Si Ultraman daw nagapply ng US citizenship.

We can't expect comic-book writers to create their work in a vacuum, Seigneur Leightot. After all, wasn't the overall story of the X-Men supposed to symbolize the state of race relations in the U.S. (among other things)?

This new twist in the Superman story has resonated deeply with many people--and not in a positive way, in some cases. Here's just one article dealing with this issue: http://postgazette.com/pg/11135/1146392-109-0.stm?cmpid=newspanel

Still, I wonder if those who disapprove of Superman renouncing his American citizenship realize that Clark Kent will legally remain an American throughout this ongoing storyline?
