      There’s comics about Superman fighting the Klan, where this element of his background is brought up! For a time, the Nazis believe that Superman is “an example of white aryan excellence” before he corrects them.

        I love the original movie run’s aesthetic, especially the music, but FUCK are they stupid as dirt sometimes.

          I mean, I grant that there’s a pretty steep degradation from the first to the fourth, but are you annoyed by the implication that Superman could crush coal into diamond?

            I had to rewatch the scene to make sure I wasn’t imagining things, but I remembered correctly.

            He crushes the coal into a perfectly symmetrical, cut diamond.

            As a bonus but of trivia I had forgotten, George Reeves’ Superman did the same fucking thing in the 1950s TV series!
