Superman's Canadian Roots
Superman, the iconic superhero, has Canadian origins! Co-creator Joe Shuster was born in Toronto and based Metropolis partly on Toronto and the Daily Planet newspaper on the Toronto Daily Star where he worked as a paperboy. These Canadian connections influenced many visual elements of the Superman comics when they first appeared in 1938. 🦸♂️

More reboots of "Superman" and "Fantastic Four" show Western pop culture is struggling for new ideas. It should look to Asia for inspiration. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/01/world/hollywood-has-lost-the-plot/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #hollywood #movies #superman #fantasticfour #jurassicpark #lilostitch #demonslayer #nezha2 #spiderman #batman #gundam #godzilla #marvel #dc
In April 1940, the SS newspaper Das Schwarze Korps ran a full‑page rant accusing Superman of “poisoning American children” mocking creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster for being Jewish, and fuming over a Look magazine spread in which Superman hauled Hitler and Stalin before a war‑crimes tribunal.
Extremely predictable: From day one, fascists disliked how the character championed the powerless and chastised tyrants.
The article “Jerry Siegel greift ein!” ran on 25 April 1940, page 8 of Das Schwarze Korps (the SS weekly). It fills the entire page and is reproduced and translated by the German Propaganda Archive.

I watched the Superman movie and it's clear why the nazis hate it.
If there's anything the movie says loud and clear, that is:
"You don't need to be a piece of shit".
Well that was actually pretty good. #superman
Betar USA, the far-right pro-Israel group with connections in the #Trump administration, making it official by stating that "the real enemies of the nationalist state of Israel are the rootless cosmopolitan #progressive#Hollywood Jews."
Reinventing antisemitism from first principles.
These are the #ISIS of Judaism.

My Superman fandom is not new. Direct from the 198X Sears Wishbook, a Superman bed sheet and comforter set, along with my comic book LPs (which I still have).
I did get rid of the Superman comforter tho....
All right, y'all convinced me. I'm going to watch Superman this afternoon.
(for you to understand what a big deal it is, the last time I watched a Superman movie, Christopher Reeve was still playing him)

The fact that how much money fucking #Superman makes has become some kind of political proving ground is real stupid, but…
Surely it was obvious it wouldn’t do well overseas
Superman is THE American superhero avatar. No one wants to hear any mouth-flapping about the American Way from us right now.
