Superman hits the big screen again with "Man of Steel", and many are predicting a smashing weekend, with a box office score of 108 million, and maybe a total of 1.000 million at the end of the summer. Why? Because he's Superman, of course!

Superman the Apostate
Well. well, well. It is a not-so-known fact that fictional characters (ahem), specially comic-book characters cannot act against their own psychology, or if you pardon my french, their raison d'être. Superman came a long way into becoming a full-blown liberal, but in Action Comics 900th commemorative edition, he finally jumps the shark for good.Jerome Siegel and Joseph Shuster, with immigrant blood themselves, made their magnum opus to stand for “truth, justice, the American way”, and if Kal-El, a.k.a. Clark Kent, a.k.a. the Man of Steel, a.k.a the Man of Tomorrow wants to renounce his american citizenship, well... this is it. Supes must be stronger than a locomotive, but has the political reasoning of a drunk frat boy. Instead of defending his given set of values with even more energy, he becomes more concerned with appearances and what America's enemies think.
Or as I said in "I Hate the Media":
Supes is not a plain old fashioned superhero anymore. To catch up with current trends he became a PC-tree-hugging-hippie-metrosexual-leftist-airhead-globalist community organizer!
Yes, I'm back! In your face, Maršić!
