If at the end of Superman, Superman flew in and defeated Lex Luthor – thus saving Earth – and then turned around and started twatting orphans with his super-strength alien fists, I guarantee there would be at least a few articles written along the lines of, ‘ok bravo for saving the planet, but I think we need to talk about how Superman was a bit of a mixed bag.’ Well, Churchill – one of Britain’s greatest heroes, who stood up to Hitler and won (with the help of many allies) – also caused the death of three million people in India*, and we should probably acknowledge that a bit.
