If the premise of a superman story is "strong guy fight strong guy," then yeah, not very interesting. What I'd prefer to see is a story that explores what having superheroes around does to humanity. What happens when a kid copies Superman and jumps off a building, and doesn't get caught? What happens when police expect a superhero to do their job for them? At what point does Superman decide to step away because he thinks he's causing more harm than good?

Go see the movie just to spite Dean Cain.
Who? The only things I recall about that show were real, and were spectacular.
The argument that "I like immigrants, but don't let them change our culture" has been around for a long time. They'd say that about Italians, and now I can find a pizza place all over town. Seems like they can change it for the better to me.
Tomato's aren't native to Italy
Correct. There was a back and forth movement of culture. Tomatoes were sent out, then they put them in pizza, then their immigrants came over with the pizzas. The world is a melting pot of cultures.
Edit: maybe "sent out" is too nice of a term though. The process is messy and complex. Ugly at times

What an ignorant bitch.
nazis crying that their ubermensch is also a mensch
I don't think everyone has to have read the original source material to enjoy something made from that material.
But if you're going to complain about it being faithful to the source material? Naw, that's in no way legit.
Plus... Like, definitionally, Superman was not born on US soil or to American parents. He doesn't have birthright citizenship
He's a literal alien with a fake identity, at the very least he's an immigrant, in every canon

Dean Cain is just Kevin Sorbo 2.0
Ah yes, Superman. The all American hero... Created by a Canadian.
Worst Superman says what?
Well, the migratory status isn't really been the issue with migrants, legal or not. Ethnicity in other hand...
We're still getting Dean Cain's opinion on things? Whoever wrote this article could have avoided all the torture by ignoring that Christofascist xenophobe like the rest of us.
He couldn't be possibly have been created by Immigrants /s
Looks up Joe Shuster birth place... Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his mother being from Ukraine
Looks up Jerry Siegel parents were from Lithuania
Hell looking up their parents if superman couldn't be an Immigrant he would be a Soviet.
Also Dean Cain has always been a has been loser for a long time now.
Yeah well I’m calling Dean Cain a little bitch.
Wait 'til they find out that Joe Shuster was an immigrant too.
