Superman Being Labeled as "Not Relevant" Stirs Outrage Online

The sad thing about WB's handling of Superman is that this is THE PERFECT time for a Superman movie. He is the embodiment of hope. He's an immigrant created by two Jewish dudes in the late 1930s. Wtf are you doing if you don't know how to make that relevant right now. https://t.co/qlQXqcqBfS

I wish they would stop with this talk. Superman is eternally relevant, just get writers that know how to write the character. https://t.co/Bi7asdxnf3

How can we make Superman relevant today, ask people living on a planet facing a crisis of worldwide catastrophe and extinction.

Superman is a space immigrant living in rural American and you are saying he is not relevant?

If you think Superman isn't relevant... Superman isn't the problem. https://t.co/53nNG0l6aj

The core concept of Superman is that he is a fundamentally good person who uses his power to help others and hold others with power to account. That is incredibly relevant, and the fact that WB doesn't see that is why they haven't made a good Superman movie in 40 years. https://t.co/PDcMwTR74U

If anything the beacon of hope and justice is more relevant today than he’s ever been, at least certainly within my lifetime. The world could use more inspiration from Superman.

Ugh. As if “truth, justice, and the American way” weren’t insanely relevant these days https://t.co/giU8P07tzO

He's a moral North Star in a corrupt world. How much more relevant can he be?! https://t.co/VG3UErPqQp

He’s an ethical, principled man fighting against corruption. He’s never been more relevant. He’s Mr. Smith meets George Bailey in circus tights. https://t.co/W3GKDiNp6e

Hi. We live in a country where facism is on the rise. Where it's really easy to compare the president to Luthor. Where violence is enacted on immigrants daily. How much more fucking relevant can Superman be right now?

Does Warner Brothers not understand the gold mine they have? https://t.co/N0aBECDjFh
