CZcams has muted a Segment of the video unfortunately apologies about this❤️❤️❤️ 17:45
Can you tell us what it's supposed to be?
@@theJamesexpress superman returns to retrieve the alien box only to discover his real parents inside an ice cave
@@JonnyFreecss thank you 👍
@@theJamesexpress sorry about the confusion I’m still new to this CZcams stuff idk what happened 😭
@@JonnyFreecss i understand. I've been on youtube since 2015 and i still don't get the ropes
“Superman smashes the Klan” is wild out of context💀
He did clap their cheeks.
Bro it'd be even worse for them if he was black
@@regalsamyt1849 💀💀💀
@@UltraRogue. Say what you will, but the KKK loved that stuff regardless of their other views. They had respect of those with extraordinary size and prowess
Man of Wood 💀
This is why Superman works best as a heroic character rather than a villain
Superman does not represent the scenario “what if someone with power was evil”
He represents what would happen if someone wasn’t.
And that's why I don't watch The Boys, Invincible, or Brightburn
@@seanemery1917Invincible isn’t really “what if Superman was evil”, if it’s “what if general zod pretended to be superman, and Superman was his son and also spiderman?”.
Yeah Invincible is about a boy who trys to do right in a world that does wrong.
@@beakerbot-xq6pb I'm just tired of seeing what-ifs of heroes being villains, especially Superman
@@beakerbot-xq6pb not even that exactly, the rest of the world isn’t too different from a normal super hero world, and a lot of the other heroes aren’t too bad.
The story behind the artist, Gurihiru, is actually an interesting one. It's a duo of two Japanese women who originally tried to use their talents to break into the manga industry. When they submitted their work, the editor said their style was very reminiscent of Pixar, even suggesting they find work in America. They did, and now their art can be seen in DC (like this comic) Marvel (like Gwenpool), and the ATLA comics. I'm not too crazy for superhero comics, but their blend of East and West makes them probably my favorite in the industry right now.
Now that you say it I can see the whole Pixar/Disney look!
I didn't remember them properly, I thought one of the 2 women is a Japanese-american but I'm so glad you've posted this comment I'm going to be more aware and now I'm able to spread the word. Is amazing what they managed, I also love their penname!
Than these two actually did their history on this well because super man did help make the KKK loss most of their power in our history, it was do the efforts of an investigator and the radio talk show crew of the Superman series that put the KKK in its place and for the government to see them as an series threat due to how close they were to raid military bases for weaponry
@@yamataichul That bit of one being Japanese-American does actually sound familiar. You might be right about that.
oh wow, very interesting. Yeah, I noticed the anime-like art right away, but I like it in these cases, because the lines and coloring are very crisp and consistent.
we did it boys racism is no more 😎
Fuck yeah😎
Anthony Johnson Boys learn history about slavery 😏
Obama: "Yes Skipper."
Skipper: "OBAMA? I THOUGHT YOU DIED?"
but there's still BLM and Antifa
For now it at least seems.
Superman is not a god. He's just a dude from Kansas doing the right thing and show people we can do so much better.
True
💪🏼💙❤️💛
isn't he from krypton?
real
@strangerontheinternet7358 born, but not raised
Superman is more human than the actual humanity itself.
That's the whole point of superman and while lex makes a great superman villain lex thinks superman is an alien an invader yet superman is more human than lex himself
There is no such thing as 'being more human' like conflating 'humanity' with kindness is like conflating murder with sharks.
Pfff no.
He is just the glorification of all thst is "good" in humans.
I know people hate to hear it, but even the "biggest monsters of humanity" are still humans.
Cause humans are on it self neutral. We are capable of great good, but also (and far more often) great evil.
No, he's just more news worthy than John by the creek helping old lady Wilson with her groceries.
Yeah, he's actually done it before. In a radio show. And the history behind that is quite interesting, too.
Learned about that in comic documentary. Superman literally defeated racism 😎
I'm pretty sure this comic is a direct homage to that story, I remember an Asian American tommy being a character in the original story.
Edit: nvm it’s a direct adaptation with an expanded story, pretty cool!
Sometimes we sleep on great artists without an ounce of awareness of us actually being intrigued by them. Thanks for posting this awesome video!
Appreciate it❤️
I like how these books take super man back to his literal roots,and still take things as seriously.
This is one of few superhero graphic novels I actually own. It's a straight up masterpiece that perfectly blends together classic and modern Superman while utterly nailing what he's all about.
That flashback to the circus is just genius in how it picks out the two things people laugh most at about Superman, (The glasses being enough to hide his identity and the underwear on the outside) and manages to explain them in such a natural way.
this story kinda shows why superman is a great guy. people think he's some kind of god who came to earth with all the knowledge, but he's just a person like you and me whos lived on earth almost all his life.
I agree
An update of a storyline from 1946, AND it feels like a modern Elseworld comic (DC Bombshells vibes)!? Love it!
6:24 Having Fu Manchu on a pulp cover is a nice touch, unsettling as it is.
14:50 Dick Grayson and his parents.
I loved it too
Why is it unsettling exactly?
@@justincummings8557 Fu Manchu (created by Sax Rohmer) is an icon of early twentieth century white bigotry and Sinophobia.
He's a Chinese supervillain, master criminal and mad genius (the Yellow Peril personified) whose motivation for being evil boils down to 'he's Chinese, therefore evil'.
He was one of the movie "monsters" of the 1930's, played by Boris Karloff in yellowface.
The cultural influence of Rohmer's creation is VAST: Fu Manchu has inspired the tropes and cliches behind all James Bond villains, as well as every Chinese-looking pop culture villain ever since.
@@francescocarlini7613 Oh…got it.
Just a little ironic.
im pretty sure he defeated the klan, in real life, thanks to superman on the radio, and some guy that infiltrated the klan, and used their real passwords for it.
Okay, not that last bit. But the rest is all true.
In fact, the story in the comic is a direct adaptation of the radio show, albeit expanded.
Superman is about helping others in less fortunate situations than you it really is not that hard for a kid to understand that he is just a helpful neighborhood to humanity.
This is actually great with the whole not flying thing since Clark can’t just fly away from a superior enemy or chase down a runaway airborne enemy.
Superman is a simple person that just wants to help people he see's himself as an equal and treats people the way he wants to be treated with respect. Because it's his warm heart of empathy and understanding that wins over me. he is more mindful. kind. and compassion. Superman might be overpowered but he knows how to control his powers and respect it.
This is the worst book i have ever saw
@@ahmedtta3914
“Yeah, I liked it.”
“WELL I… didn’t like it!”
….
….
“No one asked you…”
-ProZD.
THIS IS BASED OFF A 1946 RADIO AIRING! I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS!
I cannot describe how much I love this art style, great video, I love how he starts off not able to fly then learns too, so cool
Appreciate it❤️
An animated movie version of this is long overdue. I'd love to see it as a full-length animated movie based on this comic book. I hope *WB* makes this happen. It's a great *Superman* story.
Would go crazy
Please have the art style based on Gurihiru's designs.
Now this is one comic I can get behind!
It’s great
@@JonnyFreecss agreed.
Good to see this comic getting some good press. I couldn't believe how much hate this got when it came out.
Of course people got mad over this
A bit of a Freudian slip on their end, why would they be mad at superman fighting the KKK unless...
Apparently their version of Superman would not be against the Klan
Well, they’re gonna be shocked when they find out two Jewish guys designed their icon
@@Blitzo8390I'm Jewish, and I think this concept is utterly ridiculous. The Klan is, or at least was barely a thing for a very long time.
I'm sure they have a lot of new members, since Burn Loot Murder started their ridiculous crusade though. Or are you one of those dickheads who thinks all people of a certain ethnicity or creed are meant to have identical thoughts?
You probably think Trump is a racist, and the Clintons, Obamas, and sleepy Joe Biden are some kind of solution though.
@@Blitzo8390 KKK members when they learn that other races and religions are not actually bad (impossible)
this was a really great narration of a really neat story!! kudos
Appreciate it
"Bigots in bedsheets" best line I have ever heard
Batman could solo racism if he had prep time
Ain't no way they got the k k kryptonite 😂
Great message for the comic, but I can't ever take them seriously, even as the main villain.
They're a buncha hillbillies in ghost costumes, calling themselves wizards and yelling about complete hateful bullshit. Of course you can't take them seriously.
That’s kinda the point. You can’t take a bunch of bigots in bedsheets seriously
14:51 That circus bit with Clark’s past I’m surprised no one noticed that the acrobats are the Flying Graysons who their son will eventually become Robin at work with the Batman in the future.
Got this from the Library. Gotta be one of my favorite Superman stories
gotta love Golden Age Superman....he was a true American sociopath hero
Nah
This was Golden Age?
Sociopath?
@@rustyfisher2081 go to tv tropes and research Super Dickery you will see why that era's Superman attitude was a bit..strange also Batman was weilding a gun in that era too.
@@skeaneable oh i thought you meant this modern comic lol
Superman being a Chad
Bro this art style is killer
this would probably go in a very different direction if this was created in the 60's 💀💀💀
Nah I think it would be roughly the same coz I think this was based off a radio ting from the 40s that was about super man bashing the kkk although maybe the Asian family would’ve been Japanese instead of Chinese coz back then the Chinese were on the Russian side of the Cold War
The radio story that this comic was based on came out in 1946 and had more or less the same message that racism and xenophobia is bad and that the KKK are evil psychopaths who use superstition and pseudoscience to justify their atrocities.
Superman has always been progressive, even if that took different forms throughout the years.
it was made in the 40s, originally. Aired on the radio. It was a massive hit
No it wouldn’t it would still go this way
Don't worry, Imperial Scorpion...i will take your place...i shall avenge you!
Lesson of today kids if normal people can't beat them get Superman to do it
You know, I’m suddenly thinking about that scene from Django unchained
my reading teacher put this in a reading group last year... and my brother in 5th grade said that their reading teacher said that they also showed that book... IN 5TH GRADE
It sounds like im listening to a Anti-Drug PSA, its a platitude at this point
Truly a hero that everyone can look up to
Gene Lueng Yang did an amazing job with modernizing this story through his graphic novel. I ordered enough for my classroom and we read it together. My students loved it!
True story: The radio show from the 40s this graphic novel is based upon actually did gut the plan by making people understand what that evil group is all about.
This is actually based off the radio series called Superman vs. The Clan of the Burning Cross.
The story behind that is even more interesting.
I love the artstyle.
One of the few comics I’ve actually read in it’s entirety - honestly, it just makes WAY too much sense for Superman, the literal alien who has come to love his home like everybody else in it, going up against the very antithesis of that notion, and taking this younger, more vulnerable version of him and using the KKK as a the push to get him to accept himself and thus become stronger than ever… It’s just downright adorable.
Plus the supporting cast are great and my FAVOURITE comic artist (also the one behind the best Gwenpool comics) returns. One of the best Superman stories, 100%, even if it’s a bit different than his usual MO.
More accurately Superman defeats actual racism😂
Great story, i love the way you told it
Appreciate it❤️
14:51 I think we got a fun little easter egg here, the flying Grayson's before the parents died.
I think you’re right
I love this story ❤ you tell it so well
Bro did a hop, skip, and jump from racism to full on terrorism
I need to get this comic. I love the artstyle, as well as the story and idealism. I've come to really, really love Superman these last years.
This is vintage radio show Superman. I like it.
bro will unlock new skill "swimming"
I think every golden age comic super fought the kkk at this point lol
I read this book like 4 times in a row once.
I love how they made a circus strongman be the origin of Superman's costumes because strongmen were historically the main inspiration for the iconic superhero look.
i love the sequel to that book - "batman brings up the crime statistics"
bro i got this comic at my school library💀
I love this story! (I own the book too)
The worst story
I remember when someone else a few years ago reviewed this comic and so many people in the comment section were trying to justify racism and saying it was bad for Superman to be fighting the KKK. Such a weird experience.
Yeah a few people here doing the same thing💀
Do they know anything about the Klan? Or are they apologists?
Welcome to the world far left ideologues helped to create
@@thomasrose2149And yet it seems like modern far-right ideology keeps it alive
So Superman is "woke" now? (write a million words rant about how wokeness is destroying the West)🤣🤣🤣
You dont know anything about modern comics donyou?
@@lindinle This is sarcasm!!! kkkk
Just trolling...
@@lindinle
Ya got messed wit
@@dinosertanejo222 a lot of republicans hates the KKK today mate I guess you didn't know they were former democrats.
It kinda is. The Klan is just a buncho idiots though.
You forgot m- SIR GET DOWN
Superman runs across wires in this comic? he might be light af
This is cool! There is a comic issue where spawn defeats the klan.
Bro became John Brown
Could you imagine an animated movie adaption on this story. It would be amazing.
Now imagine if Batman was in this situation...
That actually has a lot of potential, seeing as Bruce Wayne is a generationally wealthy white man with a thriving business.
The white knights vs the dark knight
*Batman kicking the everloving shit out of a klansman in front of two children*
Knowing Bruce, that Grand Scorpion would probably be missing some of his teeth.
Actually no. He wouldn’t even be alive. Golden Age Batman had a gun.
Anyone else notice the flying graysons in the circus bit or just me?
You’re right
Great video!
Hey appreciate it!
@@JonnyFreecssyou don't have to thank me, i'm just speaking my mind.
But if you really want to thank me you can do it by just doing what you're doing.
@@P0T80S legend
Reminds me of a reference to a exact same comic from hoi4 kaiserreich where after winning the second American civil war as the huey long American union state there is a event where a comic is published about superman defeating the klan shortly after the silver legion and pelley get obliterated
If Racism is no more them what is the name of the dinosaur with 500 teeth.
I am the Grand Wizard man, born leader of the…
It’s the Nigersaur
This is the most wild thing I have ever seen
It’s great
@@JonnyFreecss it is, I thought it would have been one of those badly written woke comics
5:26 I put the new forgis on the jeep
So this comic is superman figuring out his powers
There are a lot of Nazi and Klansman super villains in the DC universe, White Dragon for example
It makes sense. I appreciate isn't annoying Woke. It's simple honesty that we don't act like demons.
You know it’s good when it’s anti racist and someone who unironically uses woke in 2023 doesn’t hate it.
Not the first time this kind of thing happened
He looks similar to the new animated series superman
Superman ending the racism is indeed the best comic ever read! 😊
God bless you Superman!
A woke comic book that is actually good
Man if smashing the klan is woke consider me insomniac, because I don't ever want to not be woke
I don’t think this is woke
bruh, this comic is peak Superman and the KKK deserves beign on the wrong side of the Man of Steel
@@tanakritgutzlapcharoen9457 amen to that
Even if it is a remake of The Clan of The Fiery Cross Radio Story from the 1938-1950 Radio drama series, which was aired in 16 instalments in 1946
This radio series is where the character of Jimmy Olsen and the existence of Kryptonite were created for the radio series
SUPERMAN DOES WHAT!!!
They have to use Superman for support 😂
Excellent
Now let's see him do that with a black supremacist group
But according to their sl ave ma sters bl acks are mentally incapable of racism.
@@guillermoelninooh good this racist dipshits pulling shit out of his ass again
@guillermoelnino yo I remember you bro. I still have no clue what side you're on
@@marsman7888 likewise i have no idea how to take that.
What would The KKK do if cyborg(Vic Stone) thought about being enemies
Nice
The sound stopped working near the last part of the video
Yeah sorry about that copyright issue they removed my sound unfortunately 😭
@@JonnyFreecss ah i understand
What is the name of the girl in the red jacket with the Superman symbol on the back?
I’ve heard about this on Drunk History
Is the artist the same as the one for The Unbelievable Gwenpool?
It's my friend's clan called "the Kool Kidz Klan"
Where can I buy one
I think there's a portion from 17:41 - 18:46 where the audio broke. What happened?
Yeah unfortunately there was copyrighted music there and CZcams got rid of it I’m sorry
Well,boys, we did it, racism is no more
Looks like dc universe did something right for once, fresh new ideas of a plot ,especially when it comes to realistic problematic, which includes small problems like this
Isn’t that the same artist that did most of the gwenpool comics
They also did the artwork for the post-canon ATLA comics
Superman is awesome!
He WHAT the clan?
Is this a reference to that story of that guy who infatuated the klan. And then revealed there secrets on the superman radio show.
We can finally eat chicken in piece
The title tho
Now i,m offended
Superman is a symbol of Truth justice and the all American way
There is no way he is racist 😎
...
Whats the name of this comic?
It’s the title😎
