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.

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.

Tweet from Betar USA: "Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?” So let's talk about hypocrisy. About how the progressive Jewish studio owners, who hate Israel, hide behind this movie, sitting in their luxurious homes in California, feeling safe in their ivory towers. Aside from having a bar mitzvah for their dog, they have no connection to Judaism and choose to disconnect from the homeland that was founded on the ruins of the people who behaved like them in Europe in the 1930s. It will come back to them like a boomerang. No matter how much they decorate their houses for Christmas, they will pay the price because history always repeats itself. They are turning Israelis into the "bad guys," the Palestinians into the "good guys," and missiles and terrorism into the "struggle of freedom fighters." This is their coffin nail as they align with the politically correct studios of Walt Disney. So yes, I am offended. I am angry. I am disgusted. They are cowards. And I will tell you here, clearly: The liberal Jews in America are the main contributors to anti-Semitism in the U.S. They, and the push for progressivism in America, the takeover of communication and financial power, and the use of tools to brainwash our children in order to spread your distorted nonsense."

Tweet from Betar USA: I'm a man boiling with rage. Yesterday, I went with my son to watch the new Superman movie. Superman! The ultimate superhero, a character created by two Jewish immigrants, Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, in the 1930s. The character is supposed to represent hope, justice & light. The actor playing Superman? Jewish. The studios? Owned by Jews. Even character of Superman himself, symbolically & historically, is considered to have Jewish roots. A refugee sent from crisis & war to save a better world, created to empower the Jews who returned from the Holocaust. Ahat did the pathetic progressives in Hollywood do? They trampled all over this. Instead of presenting a character who defends the weak & fights for justice, they turned it into a disgusting political caricature, where Israel (under a different name) is portrayed as a fascist state, a warmonger, & a close ally of the U.S., which supplies advanced weaponry to fight "poor & miserable farmers (the good Palestinians) with pitchforks & stones. And Superman? He comes to save them from bloodthirsty Israel This is literally a film of incitement against us I sat there, next to my son, watching how the film had 1 purpose: to brainwash the world. They took the ultimate childhood hero, who was supposed to represent absolute good & turned him into a 1 sided, distorted, superficial propaganda tool. They ruined my childhood, they ruined the experience 4 me, but not only for4 me, they ruined it 4 the next generation

SUPERMAN : l'anti Man of Steel dont DC avait besoin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amyFHaIs_NE

> Depuis la première bande-annonce, le film divise le public, entre les aficionados de James Gunn (dont fait partie Déborah), et ceux qui regrettent le ton plus sombre et torturé de Man of Steel et du Snyderverse. Mais comme il en faut pour tous les goûts et tous les publics, c'est avec l'anti-Man of Steel par excellence que s'ouvre ce nouvel univers, qui s'annonce plus lumineux et optimiste.

quería compartir el trabajo de Jes and Cin Wibowo, par de artistas gemelas idénticas de Indonesia que —entre muchas de las cosas que hacen— de repente hacen pequeñas historias de Superman y Lois Lane. Sus versiones de estos personajes son geniales, muy interesantes, frescas. Le aportan cosas nuevas y cercanas al mundo de Superman, mientras mantienen su estilo propio. Una maravilla. No tienen Mastodon, así que les comparto su IG para que lo exploren un poco. #superman

Superman was excellent. DC finally got it. I understand now why the right wing conservatives weren't happy, too.

No spoilers, but there was a point I thought "how are they going to make [secondary hero] work"?

And then I realized their super power was being a grumpy nerd and I was all in.

I'm surprised the character didn't mention having a mastodon account.
