# How is having an opinion trolling?
A dog has a tail, it doesn't mean it is a tail. The way I see it Superman is in the superhero genre, the majority of superheroes are not
aliens? As the superhero genre has elements of sci-fi, does that make them aliens?
Just because something contains elements of something does make it that thing.
I stick with my opinion and know I'n not the only one with it.

# I would have to agree that it is science fiction.
Superman is other-wordly. Saying that it has to be based in space, or the future, means that films like Independance Day, and The Day The Earth Stood still, indeed every invasion film, is not science fiction, just because it takes place on earth.
Fantasy is something happening magically, science fiction is there being a fictional science to it, and Superman's references to Krypton.

If 1984 is a sci-fi (which it is, I cite from references) then Superman must be.
