If I where Superman , I would probably wait until the day of the Purge , before doing something highly illegal , incredibly disrespectful and expensive , but without harming someone . Personally , I would burn an S into the lawn of the White House is the Purge a US specific thing ? , reminding everybody that if they can do what they want , so can he . But it also serves as a reminder of what Superman stands for , and how he lives up to the American ideal does any other nonAmerican ' s find the implication that Superman ' s values being uniquely American vaguely insulting ? Or am I just reading into it ? I didn ' t intend to get potentially controversial but here we are , as well as telling the criminals that he ' s still there .
