A Hate-America Superhero? (too funny!)

"Writer Joe Kelly and artist Chris Cross use the July issue (#83) of the venerable DC Comics' series JLA - an acronym for Justice League of AMERICA, mind you - as the vehicle for their misguided attempt at political commentary. The issue opens with the superhero team - led by Superman - thwarting an advanced biological weapon attack on London. The heroes then consult with the president, who explains that his intelligence indicates that the attacks originated from the Middle Eastern terrorist nation of Qurac, a fictional stand-in for you-know-where. The president, by the way, is none other than Superman's arch-enemy Lex Luthor, though the general public believes him to be a legitimate businessman and an honest politician."

"Lacking a proverbial "smoking gun," the League strenuously objects as President Luthor moves ever closer to war, arguing, as President Bush did, that "I would rather be judged by history as having moved too soon rather than too late." Except it sounds far more ominous when Lex Luthor is the one doing the talking."

"The next scene features a squad of riot cops holding back a mob of protesters on their way to an anti-war rally. Batman dropkicks one of the cops because he believes them to be part of a conspiracy to clandestinely use the military to stifle dissent."

"AOL/Time-Warner may own Superman, but he belongs to America. And we deserve a hero who isn't a shill for murderous tyrants."

Being an old Superman fan, this is another
attempt at destroying what is well,American
ideas and ideals. Next thing- a Gay Batman.
Lesbian Wonder Woman. Lex Luthor is really George W. Bush.
I'm already sickened by "Gay Days" at Disneyland,we are on the road to Perdition
for shure.

Don't read this if you have a weak heart,because it will sure get it pumping.
In 1940 the editors were strident in the belief that issolationism was Americas best defence.
That and they were card holding communists.
This is an attempt to take out of context the history of America before the Japanese attacked us in December 1941.
It is also a silly attempt to show GW as a warmonger.
Which is their only hope to defeat him,and us.

Amazing! They can discredit a fictional character that's been around for so long.

These people are just plain evil!

We're well past the Superman stage around here...but this is nefarious. And typical of the liberals. How sad.

How far out do you have to be to drag up this tripe?

2. The first freeper there needs to get a clue.

A gay batman? Doesn't he know that Batman and Robin are lovers, and always have been?

3. I'm still trying to figure out...

...what Gay Days at Disneyland have to do with all this.

Looks like another obsessed closet case to me.
