Why can’t business leave children alone?
As a child Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Bugs Bunny, Wonder Woman, Plastic Man, Archie (my favorite) were all fun comic books. Nothing serious and no real social issues were addressed. No sex even in Archie with his two possible girl friends. I collected comic books and baseball cards. It was fun!
Now Superman Comes Out, as DC Comics Ushers In a New Man of Steel. The new Superman, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, is concerned about the environment, does not shy away from politics and will soon begin a romantic relationship with a male friend.
Talk about destroying childhood fun this is an abomination. What preteen cares or understands the issues of the environment, discrimination, sexual orientation, politics and other social issues?
Children should be given time to grow up without having to contend with the issues of adulthood.
