James Gunn’s Superman is getting ready to fly into theaters. Which means that everyone suddenly has an opinion on the Man of Steel. Including Fox News who fundamentally misunderstand the point of Superman as a character. And Clark Kent’s upbringing.
Superman and, by extension, Clark Kent, is an “illegal alien.” Meaning that he is an alien who literally crash landed in Smallville, Kansas and lives with Jonathan and Martha Kent. His story is, in its own way, a story of an immigrant coming to America and living out the American dream. That’s part of the point of the character.
