Yes its a fantasy. Its a comic book. but even in that fantasy world Superman would not have grown to be who he is in any other society on the planet. so he turns his back on a society that values freedom and the individual to back the U. N.? A U. N. that seems intent on destroying the individual in favor of the State? I think Time Warner can kiss my ass as can Marvel. Money is tight and the comics I like best are from independants anyway.

OK, I understand that the whole Superman mythos is a fantasy.
With that said, as far as I am concerned, he should be declared persona non grata.
In the real world, the ones to be mad at are Time-Warner which are the corporate parents of DC.
