FYI this is literally from an episode where Lois and Clark fight actual Nazis. That little punk was a NAZI working undercover at The Daily Planet.

This was like 1995.

Not that it should be in question at all but Superman and his wife fucking hate Nazis. They hate them. If you are a Nazi sympathizer, Superman hates you.

Also, just in case you’re distinguishing yourself, Superman also hates the KKK. 

superman was created by two jewish men. like i feel that’s an important thing missing from this post. there’s a lot of analysis out there that showcases superman exploring judaic themes. nazi newspapers denounced superman and his creators.

jack kirby and joe simon (captain america), bob kane (batman), stan lee (god, how do you boil him down to one iconic creation?), joe schuster and jerry siegel (superman), will eisner (the spirit) — all were jewish.

and like i’ll delete this comment if i’m swerving out of my lane as someone who isn’t jewish, but i feel like it’s important to note that mainstream comics were created by jewish people and that “superman hates nazis” is not something to say without giving historical context. superman isn’t just some nazi-fighting ally fantasy from people who probably wouldn’t actually call out antisemitism — let alone fight it — but who want to look like they’re actually doing something with empty threats; superman is, by existing and thriving, actively fighting antisemetic ideas and white supremacy. he is one of the most important pop culture characters in the world and his origins are judaic, and i think it’s a great disservice to not inform people about this so they don’t get to think they’re equal to superman when they reblog a post saying “punch nazis” but never bother to actually do or say anything when they’re confronted with white supremacy and antisemitism and the influences of both in their lives.

i don’t want to talk over jewish people, so i’ll totally delete this comment if it seems like i am. but i just wanted to take a moment to rant because i love comics and i see people excluding the origins of this industry and its creators so often in the community.
