Superman Is Now Gay And Unpatriotic

DC Comics has abandoned the mention of "The American Way" from Superman's motto in favor of the superhero fighting for a "better tomorrow."

The 83-year-old character's longstanding adage used to be "Truth, Justice and the American Way."

Though, the publisher announced that his new mission statement will be "Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow."

DC did not specifically explain why they had ditched America from the slogan, though, rather said that they were focused on 'evolving.'

"To better reflect the storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor Superman's incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world, Superman's motto is evolving," DC Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee announced during the DC FanDome fan event on Saturday.

"Superman has long been a symbol of hope who inspires people, and it is that optimism and hope that powers him forward with this new mission statement."

The superhero's backstory is about as American as it gets — a boy raised in Kansas by two farmers who wears a costume in shades of red and blue that nod to the American flag. The last time a Clark Kent-centered film hit the big screen was 2013's Man Of Steel with Henry Cavill playing the titular character.

In 2017's Justice League and the 2021 extended cut, he further appeared as Superman: Zack Snyder's Justice League.

A nod to his American identity, in Justice League his character even says: "I'm from Kansas. It's about as American as it gets," though Snyder announced he had to fight to keep the line in the movie as he strove to portray 'that perfect mix of Americana."

Fans are torn on the new motto, with some proud of the superhero's new slogan and saying that "the American Way" isn't as "American" as people think, while others slam the idea that Superman is anything other than American.

One fan wrote: "I'm a fan of # Superman's new motto: "Truth, Justice, And a Better Tomorrow." It fits the character really well, sounds impactful, and hopeful. Overall I think it's something a lot of people could stand to hear.'

Another fan encouragingly wrote: 'Superman doesn't fight exclusively for America. Him fighting for a better tomorrow is a better motto. He's not the man of America, he's for everyone."

The iconic superhero is known around the world, though others slam DC Comics for making 'America' the problem. "An American icon, raised in America by American parents - created by a pair of Americans for an American comic book publisher. E"the American way" is a problem," one critic wrote on Twitter.

Others questioned if "the American Way" was even worth fighting, even by Superman. And that the new motto goes beyond only making Superman a fighter for everyone.
