Another chance to post this...
From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.
Superman was always woke you dummy.
The very notion of superman is woke. With his powers, he could rule earth. Instead he helps kids and little old ladies with nothing to gain for himself. The guy is empathy incarnate.
Fine, I guess I'll go read All-Star Superman again.
Superman: Red Son
Such a cool story. One of the few DC titles I enjoy.
I know we never measured up to these ideals, but at least we had them. Painful to see.
Superman started off as Anti-Facist. But it’s worth noting it was co-opted during WW2 and the Cold War and became more of a propaganda vehicle than anything.
I don't know what social media Gunn uses, but someone should get him to recreate this poster with David.
That's a great idea!
