Superman was born in 1938, amidst political uncertainty and the rise of mass media. His escape from the devastated planet Krypton in search of asylum on Earth connected vitally with his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, sons of exiled Jews. As a hopeful response to the Great Depression and, later, a symbol of the democratic ideal during World War II, Superman personifies values such as justice, truth, and equality. He represents theAmerican way of life and the self-made man, and projects the narrative of the United States as an exceptional and morally just nation. Thus, Superman not only inaugurates the age of superheroes, but lays the first stone of a new American popular mythology, through which symbolic structures are consolidated and ideologies are conveyed in the social fabric. A superman connected to the classic patriarchal ideal—combining extraordinary physical power with unquestionable ethics—and who is presented as an aspirational model of masculinity.

Dean Cain, who played Superman in the television series from 1993 to 1997 Lois & Clark, has announced his imminent incorporation into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. government agency implementing Donald Trump's mass immigrant deportation policies. "I felt it was important to help ensure the safety of all Americans," says the actor, who makes no secret of his support for the MAGA movement. "Since President Trump took office, ICE has arrested hundreds of thousands of criminals, including terrorists, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, gang members, and drug dealers; very dangerous people who shouldn't be on the streets."

Hollywood's hottest potato hits theaters. Rarely have a film been so highly anticipated as the new Superman James Gunn's reboot of Warner's superhero project that cost $190 million and is expected to gross more than $600 million to be profitable. Gunn's experience in superhero films is a degree and the director of Guardians of the Galaxy confronts the gravity of Zack Snyder, the previous architect of the DC cinematic universe, with a brighter vision of Superman that fearlessly embraces the pop imagery of his comics from the 50s and 60s – the so-called Silver Age – from the super robots of the Fortress of Solitude and the giant monsters to Krypto, the scene-stealing super dog who stars in some of the best moments.
