* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The original comic isn't anywhere near as explicitly political as, say, ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', but it still isn't difficult to interpret as a TakeThat against [[MediaNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan-era America]] and its cheery NostalgiaFilter for the Good Ol' Days. The Krypton so straightforwardly portrayed as a science utopia in [[MediaNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks the Silver Age]] is extrapolated to be "really" a CrapsackWorld that ignores its social ills (particularly ethnic segregation and [[FateWorseThanDeath a cruel-and-unusual justice system]]) until they completely boil over, at which point it resorts to [[TheKlan reactionary militias]] as a solution.
