'Superman's Ridiculous Controversy Gets Destroyed by 'Smallvile' Creators

James Gunn's Superman might be a box office success and a hit with fans and critics, but that hasn't stopped the DCU's first big movie from causing a stir of controversy. Social media is already a hate-filled cesspit, but James Gunn and Superman lit a spark so big that even former Superman actors and Donald Trump got involved. There is some basic trivia that everyone knows about Superman, mainly that his Earth name is Clark Kent and that he comes from the planet Krypton. However, since the character's creation in 1938, some people have slowly forgotten the latter fact and turned Superman into a Homelander-esque American hero. The theme of immigration is intrinsic to Superman as a character, yet it has become a buzzword for certain political groups and pundits to fight back against James Gunn's Superman. Two people who know all too well how politically charged Superman can be are Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar, and the pair recently chimed in on how ridiculous the Superman controversy actually is.
