Hi guys
I read an article today on Screen Rant discussing the latest issue of the Darkside of the DC universe, in which we are given Katana's point of view on how she sees society.
The story is good, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but what caught my attention is that it seemed that Katana is trying to say, indirectly, that Superman and how he was accepted is part of society's problem.
here is the link to the article:

This isn't the first time that Superman was put in this position by DC, as a similar, but more direct, approach happened with Black Lighting a few months ago. And to be fair the writer of the article defended Superman and his legacy by saying that Superman represents the good in humankind, in general, and not for a specific society. This article is not the first to defend Superman as a hero, as another writer talked about the story of "what's funny in truth, justice, and the American way" and reminded us that he fights for the improvement of mankind.
So my question is this, With Katana's story, and Black Lightning before her, do you think DC is trying to harm Superman's legacy or do you see it as a way to make it bigger?
for reference, here is the other article I mentioned: https://tuftsdaily.com/arts/2020/10/...on-comics-775/
