Not for actually getting the film to the box office, but for its success (h/t to Four Color Media Monitor):
If the right-wing blogs get a hold of this one, there's gonna be hell to pay, especially when somebody realizes that David Goyer, who wrote the [Superman renounces US citizenship] story, is also the screenwriter of the upcoming Superman movie directed by Zach Snyder and starring a British person as Superman. So they're neutering America's greatest superhero and turning him into a thug for the United Nations? This could make the Captain America mess look tame in comparison.
Heck, that fact slipped past me, and I usually am pretty up to date on this stuff. IOW, this doesn't bode well for the money-making aspect of the film. I certainly don't wanna shell out $10 to see some kumbaya superhero beholden to the nitwits at the U.N. And I'm crossing my fingers that this summer's "Captain America" isn't similar.

Superman was originally a leftist here, if not an outright communist. Or so I've heard. From a communist, of course.
