In the short youtube film, Superman:Japoteurs 1942, it clearly shows the Axis powers against the Allies. Which were the Japanese sneaking on and hijacking one of the American bombing planes to attempt bomb America. As the Japanese failed to attempt to bomb America, and were stopped by Superman, everyone was rescued "safely" and Superman saved the day. This clearly has a lot of exaggeration as to how WW2 actually happened and was no where near this simple. It still happens to show Propaganda within the film itself as it promotes America, and people risking their life to save America. When you think of Superman, do you usually correlate it to a kid friendly show? If so do you think that it was appropriate for DC Comics and Paramount productions to promote this false narrative to children? Do you think that this should be rather saved for when the children whom are the audience are old enough to understand the real facts and story line of WW2 rather than a made up story tale with non existent superhero's? Or is this a normal thing for comic books to publish and produce to gain attention/viewers?
