I was a little bit sulphurous about drop off the role , and I was kind of very sad , like why , in the United States of America , you could utter about Joe Biden , and you could talk about Donald Trump , but you could not criticize a strange government ? Which is kind of very lamentable .
Because of that , I was cat in the movie , “ Superman , ” and then they told me , " We changed the script , " after this Piers Morgan interview . I need to accept good faith . I desire to know , I want to believe that this is rightful . I was a little act bitter , and I want to go , I was like , " Oh , screw DC , hump Warner Bros. " But then I understand , I understand the emotional load that those people have . I mean , those the great unwashed have a connection with Israel .

Outside of DC Comics , Rumaan has only appeared in one medium property , let a small character in theYoung JusticeTV show .
If Rumaan had stay put in the last version of theSuperman : Legacyscript , it is potential that he was meant to be an opposing force to the United States and the Man of Steel himself .
