With the release of the new Superman film, a fresh round of controversy has erupted from Trump supporters over the character's origins and message, with fans and media observers responding with mockery at their apparent ignorance of the source material.

The White House is facing a barrage of criticism after sharing an edited image of President Donald Trump as Superman on social media. In a post on X and Instagram late Thursday, the official account took inspiration from one of the DC tentpole’s most famous catchphrases: “THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP.”

In an interview with TMZ, Cain expressed concern that the upcoming movie had lost the values he associated with the character, particularly “truth, justice, and the American way.” This is only one of the many versions of the superhero’s slogan, which has not always included “the American way.”

The release of a new Superman movie has some in the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement steaming mad. This is because James Gunn, the man behind the film and the head of DC Studios, is drawing attention to immigration as one of the movie’s major themes.

An image of the 47th president dressed as Superman is just in time for the release of a movie in which the superhero is depicted as an immigrant story.

Gunn courted outrage from the online (and televised) right with an interview in The Times of London. In that talk, published on Sunday, Gunn rightfully pointed out that Superman is both an immigrant and the American ideal.

It’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness,’ Superman director James Gunn said last week,

Sean Gunn, the director’s brother who plays supervillain Maxwell Lord in the film, swiftly defended his sibling. “We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like that, you’re not American,” he told Variety.

James Gunn and the ‘Superman’ cast respond to Fox News’ “Superwoke” backlash, defending the film’s message of kindness and immigrant identity.

The modern version of Lex Luthor is based on Trump, yet he’s been posing as the Man of Steel for decades. Here’s a timeline of his obsession.
