Why isn't Fox screaming about this?????




Superman is officially moving on from “the American Way.”

Jim Lee, chief creative officer and publisher of DC, announced on Saturday during the virtual fan event DC Fandome that the Man of Steel’s motto will be “evolving” from the well-known mantra that he fights for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”

Superman’s new “mission statement”: “Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow.”


In a press statement, the company said the decision is meant “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.”

used to mean something when I was a kid. It meant we (America) don't torture prisoners (learned that playing Army). It meant that we look out for the little guy and stand up to bullies (why we kicked Nazi butt). It meant that everyone has a voice and a vote (until bush v gore). Even though we've never lived up to those values completely, at least we strived for them. Not so much any more. I think they dropped it for marketing reasons but it sure is telling that it couldn't be sustained.

When you write the narrative, you always get to be the protagonist!

Where are his immigration documents? (wink)

Besides, Clark Kent was a reporter, (in the comics, he later became a TV news anchor).

They can smell blood on this one. Political opportunity on a silver platter.

Give 'em about a week.

the coming "War on Christmas". Unprepared to simultaneously do battle on three fronts, Fox has scheduled the "War on the American Way" for early next year.

His "American Way" fits into a phrase with "truth and justice." A virtuous "Man of Steel" touting an American Way that everyone can get behind would be a good counterweight to MAGA. The good side needs to own all the good words.

Fox News won't care either way. They're Team Luthor. Just look at Trump and tell me you don't see a resemblance.

Watching Superman on TV, I hated those last three words. It's about time that was changed.

Our way doesn't appeal much to the world right now. To them we are lost in the wide open.
