Superman; political allegiances

 a comic book from 2008 called ‘DC Universe: Decisions’ which was supposed to show which DC heroes were Democrat and which were Republican. The only hero who wouldn’t share his opinion was Superman, who said (in the comic) –
“It would be unconscionable of me to share [my endorsement] with you,” he explained. “Whoever is elected to the highest office in the land should not think that they will not have our full support. That our allegiances are stronger with a defeated candidate. We don’t take sides. The battles we fight are larger than those on the political spectrum. It would pain me to think the president would believe that he or she couldn’t count on us, turn to us, or rely on us.”
