Superman Was DEMOCRAT, Batman Was REPUBLICAN

In "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," Joseph Campbell :"Superman was both a reaction against the Nazi ideal of a genetic super human, and the reassuring fantasy of second-generation immigrants for assimilation into American society.." "Batman is more symptomatic of the later 20th Century America reflecting a workaholic’s delusion rather than an immigrant’s fear."

Today, Political cartoons are quick of wit but more a " in your face" moment of satire. They creatively and quickly reduce one timely newstory into a pictorial editorial with personal political undertones. The DC comics of Batman and Superman were an onset to a more "Unbiased" approach to the News.. offering a choice of ideologies.

Notice how almost nobody goes out for "coffee and sandwiches" anymore?

Superman was feeling bored after a long day of crimefighting and wanted to go out and party, so he called Batman to ask if he wanted to go to a club and pick up some girls.

Batman said Robin was ill and he had to look after him.

A little disappointed, Superman called Spiderman to
see if he fancied a few beers.

Spiderman told him he had a date with Catwoman.

As a last resort, Superman flew over to Wonderwoman's
appartment to see if she was free. As he landed on her
balcony, he saw Wonderwoman naked on the bed with her
legs open.

Superman thought to himself: "I'm faster than a speeding bullet. I could be in there, have sex, and be out again before she knew what was happening".

So Superman did his Super thing in a split second and flew off happily.

Meanwhile on the bed, Wonderwoman said: "Did you
hear something?"

"No," said the Invisible Man. "But my ass hurts like hell!".

You mean Superman was gay?

[buffyt]

Someone had way too much free time to write this one...

[newgeezer]

The location where Superman spent his childhood statistically fosters a Democratic spirit. As a man from a small farming community in a rural state, Superman is a Democrat. His place of employment encourages a Democratic political philosophy.

WRONG.

If that were the case, the red-and-blue 2000-Presidential-election-results-by-county map would have been blue in the sparsely-populated rural areas, rather than red.

In last Tuesday's issue, we find that...

[Drango]

Yeah, well last week we stuffed some Kryptonite into Superman's shorts...

Superman Was DEMOCRAT

"Truth, justice and the American Way?" Clearly a REPUBLICAN.

Batman Was REPUBLICAN

Limousine, bachelor with live-in toy-boy sidekick, chums with a big-city Mayor? Clearly a DEMOCRAT.

[HEY4QDEMS]

"TRUTH","JUSTICE",and "THE AMERICAN WAY"???

That hardly sounds like a DemocRAT.

[newgeezer]

He was a supporter of the use of force. This use of force is clearly a parallel to the Democratic Party ideal of a large, mobilized army.

What's this writer smoking, snorting, or shooting-up?

[Sir Gawain]

This use of force is clearly a parallel to the Democratic Party ideal of a large, mobilized army.

Huh?

[BADROTOFINGER]

Herbal tea and wraps. Same difference.

The Hero with 1000 Faces

[Darth Reagan]

Superman fights crime as a result of his in-born strength and talent. Everything comes easy to him, so he's a limousine liberal who feels some guilt for this and believes that the less fortunate should be given what they need by those who work. A Democrat. (Think Hollywood types).

Batman has to work at being a superhero, so he respects hard work and demands it of others. A Republican.

Just a thought.

[lds23]

If you're into Joseph Campbell, I'd recommend a look at Mircea Eliade's "Cosmos and History", Robert Graves' "The White Goddess" and "Greek Mythologies, and of course, "The Golden Bough".

[Reaganwuzthebest]

"Truth, justice and the American Way?" Clearly a REPUBLICAN.

You ever you see how Clark Kent with those x-ray eyes used to look Louis Lane? Definitely libertarian leanings I'd say.
