Quote: 1. This was a back-up story. This plot point will never be mentioned again.The discussion hasn't been whether or not its part of continuity or canon. Quote: 2. How does Superman have US citizenship? Clark Kent, sure. But Superman? He doesn't even have a name. Unless "Kal-El" has a social security number.Superman must have US citizenship. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to renounce it. Quote: 3. Superman is an illegal alien anyway. Quite literally.See above. Quote: 4. I liked it best when Grant Morrison-- I think it was him anyway-- said the S-shield was the flag of a one-man country. I mean, realistically, Superman's ties to America and constant "interference" in the affairs of other nations would cause international incidents and wars CONSTANTLY. I mean, yeah, it's comics, but still. Verisimilitude!Which is as good an argument to keep "realism" out of superhero stories as any. | |||||||
