    Remember when they had to define woke for some court case? The definition was something like acknowledging that there are inequalities in society. Superman’s whole schtick is that he’s morally good and has a ton of power but doesn’t resort to authoritarianism. That seems pretty “woke” to me, too.

    Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.

    Dean Cain was in one of the 'God’s not Dead" movies. That tells you all you need to know about him.

      An Illegal alien at that. He can’t even claim Birthright Citizenship, if we still followed the Constitution I mean.

        He can’t even claim Birthright Citizenship

        Canonically, I believe he was still technically gestating in the pod before he arrived. So he’s more of an Anchor Baby.
