It's funny you should bring that story line up. I recall even at the time, people were angry at it for trying to stuff politics into Superman. If I remember correctly, the response from Straczynski and the media was the same old "Superman has always been political! If you complain you're not a real Superman fan!" Also worth noting, is that story was co-written by G. Willow Wilson of Ms Marvel "fame".

There's so many buzzwords here, none of which address the actual problems that muslims, gays, jews, and ILLEGAL immigrants cause for the country. The kind of bullshit Bendis envisions for the world only works in a fantasy comic book where men can fly and shoot lasers out of their eyes.
Also, Clark Kent is a legal citizen. No part of his story has ever revolved around him dodging ICE agents and paying shady criminals to get him a stolen SSN and other falsified documents so he can exploit the system for free benefits.

Come on, OP.
That aside, the interview is full of pandering without very little information. Basically:
>Superman will have to deal with the fact that he would not be Superman if Krypton was not destroyed
>There will be a new villain who is connected to that angle
>Bendis won't reboot anything and will not disturb the continuity
>He did not say anything staying consistent with characterization, however. Only thing he mentions is that Superman is all about hope and Louis is a strong and independent woman
>Journalism will apparently be important part of the story
>Metropolis is going to be a sanctuary city/city of immigrants
>There are implications that Bendis will push his political views in the book
>Metropolis is going to be a sanctuary city/city of immigrants
Why the hell would a city in the Midwest have what sounds like West Coast values? Not even places like Chicago, and New York are hellbent on being sanctuaries. Did Bendis even set his foot in Midwest? Superman also doesn't quite work with the Muslims and some other immigrant communities, since he is fully Americanized. He was raised in the U.S. by American parents, and the American part of his identity largely supplanted the Kryptonian one. Not to mention that Superman is a legal citizen, and most legal immigrants dislike illegal ones. But how would an upper class man who was educated in private schools know that? He does not know shit about immigrant experience.
>He is disgusted by how cable news channels have cleverly seized on the creed of objectivity and redefined it in populist terms
Well, that sounds mildly interesting
>They attack news based on verifiable fact for its liberal bias, in essence, failing to be objective, and promise a return to 'genuine" objectivity." [sic]
Of course. Why can't it ever be acknowledged how most mainstream news twist information to make it as eye catching and entertaining to their target audiences, and to push station's agendas. CNN is probably the worst station when it comes to distorting information, fanning flames, and stretching stories to fill the airtime.

In the Silver Age, the Kents took baby Clark to an orphanage as a foundling, later legally adopting him.
