Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around universal themes of good versus evil and individual heroism, consciously avoiding specific political ideologies. Its solution to societal problems is an apolitical individual protector, rather than systemic critique or political action.
The movie features traditional casting, with major roles aligning with established character depictions. The narrative positively frames traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its story.
Secondary
Superman: The Animated Series does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The show's narrative focuses on traditional superhero tropes and character relationships without exploring queer identities or experiences, resulting in no depiction.
The animated series primarily focuses on Superman's battles against various male villains. Female characters, such as Lois Lane, are typically portrayed in supporting roles and do not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents.
The 1988 animated series faithfully adapts the established genders of its core characters from the Superman comic book canon. No major or legacy characters are portrayed with a different gender than their widely recognized source material.
The 1988 animated series "Superman" portrays its established characters, such as Superman/Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, consistently with their long-standing canonical racial depictions from the source comics. No characters originally established as one race are depicted as a different race.
