From what one considers "traditional" to other types, such as the ones on display here, as long as no ill will is meant by these images, there should be no outrage over things such as this. I believe the above images convey a great deal of Americanism as to the approach to the given subject, as well as a sense of passion for the topic at hand. I believe it is a beautiful pop art tribute. --Eienshi-Ita Everyone laments the tragedy of 9/11, and these general emotions can translate to art in all of its various mediums.

Superman is known as the Man of steel, power and care. New York is an remarkable city that is very powerful. The people who live there are strong, united, love where they are from and are very PROUD of their city! These pictures show that even Superman can feel pain; inside or out. It also shows that though he is wounded he is NOT defeated! Like New York and New Yorkers! I love this and (I hope you don't mind) have PROUDLY shared these images on my facebook page in tribute to 9/11 and New Yorkers! <3 I think this is a WONDERFUL work of art here.

I mean it's just one person's artistic expression about something terrible that happened. The artwork itself is not poking fun at 9-11 or anything like that. But even if it was, you can ignore it if you don't like it, but to be offended is ridiculous. The only time I would agree that an artist (or writer, comedian what ever) has gone too far is if they try to incite hatred. But when we're all dead and 9-11 is just part of history like the wars of the 20th century, it will be seen as part of the narrative of the human race - something that won't be raw for anyone any more. In the mean time lets hope we don't get so sensitive that we can't make art about the real world for fear of offending. I wonder why people are so easily offended by art?

The meaning behind the image is, we may have all the knowledge and strength in the universe but we are still not able to stop all the devastating things that happen to out lives. i hope i caused no offence.
