In the 1942 short film 'Superman: Japoteurs,' we see an exaggerated depiction of the Axis powers' actions during WW2, with Superman coming to the rescue. This portrayal raises questions about the appropriateness of using a kid-friendly character like Superman in wartime propaganda. Do you believe it was acceptable for DC Comics and Paramount to use such iconic characters to present a simplified, fictional narrative to young audiences during a time of war? Should comic books and other media aim to educate children about the real events and complexities of history, or is there a place for such fantastical storytelling even in wartime?
