Superman cries in anguish at the thought of a Justice League devoid of Zack Snyder's vision before the release of the Snyder Cut.
But as Bleeding Cool Rumourmonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston's 8000-word fawning treatises on Johnson and his politics have taught us, Johnson is no Trump He may be an egomaniac, sure His boasting may be inane He may be intellectually deficient But he's intellectually deficient like a fox. And so, when Boris Johnson takes credit for Spider-Man and Superman,[...]
Impeachment in the Dark Multiverse in Flash Forward #2 [Preview]
That brought him to an alternate Earth, directly into the Oval Office of Solitude, where the president… is Superman? And it looks like President Superman is undergoing impeachment proceedings in his world as well… except it looks like the House, in this case, is empowered with more than just normal subpoenas.

"Don't you understand that your universe is facing the gravest threat it's ever known? It may be too late for our universe, but yours can still be saved! We just have to stand up and show that we're willing to fight the big pharmaceutical companies, fight the fossil fuel industry, fight the prison-industrial complex, and[...]
Captain America Gets Involved With Politics For The First Time Ever
But other than those, and maybe a few other times, okay and maybe a few more times after that, it's been basically no politics at all for the star-spangled Avenger. That's why it's so shocking when politics just suddenly appear, completely out of nowhere, with no warning whatsoever, in modern comic books It's like, whoa, hey,[...]
wonder-woman-justice-league
The worlds of comic books and international politics continue to collide thanks to a dispute between the U.S Department of Treasury and Congressional Democrats over the sale of stock in RatPac-Dune, one of the Hollywood production companies behind such films as Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, and X-Men: The Last Stand Democrats including[...]
