re: #115 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
If it’s Supes that they’re worried about reworking, and not Clark Kent himself, that should be easy: Just don’t paste, “America, Fuck Yeah,” all over him. I get it: Superman, “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” But if you tone down the blind patriotism - or maybe make it a teachable moment in Supes’s character arc - then you have a character that is relatable to a modern audience. Someone who appreciates America but wants to work to fix its flaws.
You’ve just described the plot to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. But there are definitely things to explore on that front with Superman, especially with how willing America would embrace someone like Luthor.
