I wonder if many of the reactionaries to the character of Superman know the he was created by two Jewish guys in 1938 (Jerry Siegel & Joe Schuster)? Antisemites routinely claim, absurdly, that Jews have "a hidden agenda to dominate the globe and rule everyone."
Excellent read and analysis, thank you for this! Can't wait to go see Superman in action.

I think, in this case, they were reacting to my description of Superman as an immigrant. But you make a good point.
Just enough revealed, and analyzed, here to encourage me to go back into the cineplex to see one of my childhood, i.e.., comic-book era, heroes.
Thanks my friend. I read other reviews which felt like a verbatim synopsis of the movie, and i didn't want to do that...
