The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”

When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”

“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”

      Asmongold. Enough said. Also, most conservative men are opposed to bathing. Something something washing assholes is gay.

      They are stupid, useless, and gross.

      Technically he was “born” in the US in most versions going back a few decades. His pod was retconned from one they put a whole living baby into in earlier stories, to an artificial womb “birthing matrix” that combined DNA. Was even a storyline that dealt with if he was eligible to be President based on that (may have even been the reason for the retcon, can’t remember). So he’d be an “anchor baby” to use their racist term, and someone Donald wants to invalidate an amendment with an executive order for

      Well he’s an Alien who is an American citizen more than likely.

      Foundlings aren’t directly mentioned in the laws but if a child is found in the U.S. and you can’t find the parents, it is assumed to have been born here. And thereby a citizen by the 14th Amendment.

      Unless someone could prove who his parents were and where they were born, until that time I don’t think they would have grounds to revoke the citizenship

          So you believe some people who found a baby in the middle of no where and decided to raise/adopt him picked up a hologram made of alien tech unlike anything seen on earth before and were going to bring that to the government to say we know who his parents are? Kid would go to a gov facility for infinite tests and the Kent’s would be institutionalized or disappeared because everyone would have thought they were nuts in the psych ward. No way they’d know the kid was going to fly, shoot laser beams and be impervious to weapons.

            I’m saying that when he’s an adult, his origin is provable. In some of the films, Lex Luthor finds the proof
