I'd like to see ICE attempting to detain Superman...
Yeah, we know it's a fantasy, that's why we want to see it.
does anyone like " corenswets" superman? i feel like its a shoehorn in for replacing CAVIL. they had to cancel the other superman series just to make this movie.
Honestly, from seeing him in the costume, I think David Corenswet is going to be a great Superman. Whether that translates to a great Clark Kent is a different story. As with most secret identity heroes, most actors are good at one or the other, but not both at the same time.
Imagine baby Kal-El showing up in an Iowa cornfield today.
straight to Alligator Auschwitz.
Do you want Magneto? Because this is how you get Magneto
last time the US got concentration camps we got George Takei.
but for real.
did you know American cruel immigration policy (IE destabilise the country but don't give any refugee asylum, so they are illegal, unable to get real jobs, healthcare, or even contact the police when they need help...) is what created MS13. they do this, to create traumatized people who know they can't rely on the state. and when they end up as a criminal maladapted, conservatives point and say "We told you, they are the monsters, that's why we have to treat them all like monsters".
Nah, first cancer from all of the chemicals in the field, then the concentration camp.
I never thought about the fact that Clark Kent is an alien working here illegally and under a false identity.
Yeah I'm not sure how they addressed that. I think in some versions the Kent's adopted him as a baby (which would be hard being that the baby appeared from no where) and others that they just claimed he was their child. Which would be easier to claim I imagine. People have home births and if you live on a farm, no one's really checking up to see if you are pregnant
So I did some digging and there are a few interesting answers.
The first is that any version of Superman who landed in earth prior to 1940 may fall under the Nationality Act of 1940. The act grants birthright citizenship to "children found in the United States with unknown parentage". So the Kent's would not technically need to lie for Clark to be granted citizenship. A baby randomly found in Kansas could reasonably be assumed (even if incorrect) to have been born in the US and granted citizenship.
However the second answer is better because it was already answered in one Superman story. The "Armageddon 2001" storyline has Superman running for and eventually being elected President. To be elected President you must be a natural born citizen. The argument is that the "pod" Superman arrived in was actually a "Kryptonian Birthing Matrix".
Unlike in most films and modern media, where Superman's parents put him in a rocket as a baby and send him away, the "Kryptonian Birthing Matrix" is all Superman has ever known. He wasn't born and then put in a rocket, he was always inside the "Birthing Matrix". As a result when he landed on Earth and left the "Birthing Matrix", that is when he was actually born.
There are many cases of people "spontaneously" giving birth because they didn't know they were pregnant. Granted there's generally a lot of comorbidities that lead to finding oneself in that situation, but it isn't unheard of
And that’s how CryptoICE was created.
