Superman Becomes an Enemy of Family Values, Claims Author Los Angeles, CA -- Superman is set to return to movie theaters nationwide this week, but is this latest incarnation of the quintessential American hero an enemy of traditional values? With millions of children nationwide eagerly anticipating the new Superman film, this is the question being asked by the author of a popular series of kid's books.
Katharine DeBrecht, author of the picture book “Help! Mom! Hollywood's in My Hamper” (Kids Ahead; hardcover: $15.95; ISBN 0976726912), warns that the movie “Superman Returns” appears to undermine traditional values. Early reviews of the film -- which have generally been positive -- have stated that Lois Lane has a child out of wedlock and that the five-year-old boy might be Superman's son.
“Liberals in the media and classrooms are already making it hard for parents who believe in traditional values to pass on those morals to their kids,” says DeBrecht, a mother of three. “Now it looks like Superman will also be working against us. Reports indicate that not only does the movie imply that Superman and Lois Lane had a child together, but it also has Lois engaged to another man, causing Superman to compete for her affection.”
“Portraying Superman with an out-of-wedlock child and potentially breaking up a family is completely unnecessary,” adds DeBrecht. “Warner Brothers is marketing this movie to children. It has dozens of toy, clothing, cereal, and fast-food tie-ins. But parents taking their children to see this movie need to be ready to talk with them about it, because Lex Luthor is not the only bad guy in this script.” Read more at emediawire.com/releases
