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.

Dean Cain is an idiot. So there's that.
He's also not white so what does he gain from making a stink about this? Japanese superman was the most woke thing to exist until 2018, he's got no room to talk. His show was also basically about superman's girlfriend, an extremely woke interpretation of superman. We can do this all day lmao
basically about superman's girlfriend,
And casting Teri Hatcher in that role, someone who's very expressive and versatile, was a huge success.
My girlfriend and I watched a couple episodes of Lois and Clarke recently because we were like "woke superman?" and then found out about dean cain being a maga idiot lmao I had never heard of dean cain before but it was so weird to have that kind of whiplash. Pick a lane, guy.

He's litteraly immigrant. It's objective fact. What he's talking about? He think calling Wonder Woman a woman is "making her woke"?
He think calling Wonder Woman a woman is "making her woke"?

Superman isn't just an immigrant. He's a refugee when his home was destroyed by civil war. He came to the USA and made it better because he's an immigrant.

Dean Cain has been a bitch for years...
He drank the maga Kool aid a long time ago
Worst Superman has harsh words for creator of better Superman. After playing the part for a decade, Dean Cain still doesn't understand the character.
Everything i don't like is woke (or communism).
You gotta add /s
Well, Superman wasn't born in the U.S.A to parents in the U.S.A..
He travelled as an unaccompanied minor to the USA. I hate to say it but it seems pretty obvious to me he's not from 'round here with the whole flying and laser eyes thing too.

It's almost like these people have no clue about the source material at all. Reminds me of religious folks 😂
An illegal alien immigrant at that!
What's he going to do next, go after white people who are simply proud of their heritage?
That was such a good book i loved the pocket size of the books associated well.
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
And you really got the hang of them. I want to come back to Italy for the food and people. Mostly the food though.
Dean Cain is just Kevin Sorbo 2.0
Worst Superman says what?
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.
I thought he was dead.
Hol the F up, the guy from Believe it or Not was superman?
Why tho?
The guy from Superman was on Ripley's. He was one of the popular actors in that era. The show was pretty good and he had a decent turn as the Boy in Blue.
