The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”

When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”

“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”

    Do the people complaining about it know anything about Superman? If you didn’t think Man of Steel had commentary about immigration, you either didn’t watch it or you’re an idiot. I wish there was some way we could enforce a rule that you have to know something about the franchise you’re commenting on.
