DC Comics drops “the American way” from Superman slogan

Unbelievable. Is America viewed by leftists and woke companies as so awful a country (the result of CRT indoctrination) that the very mention of its name must be avoided or erased?

New slogan is “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.”


Get over it. Only during WWII, the early '50s, and 1978 was that version of the motto used or remotely popular...

In fact, “Truth, Justice and the American Way” did not originate with the first Superman comic books by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Instead, the saying came from a “Superman” radio serial in the early 1940s, as a way to cheer on American military efforts in World War II. The “American Way” motto was revived for the “Adventures of Superman” TV series that aired in the 1950s — during the first days of the Cold War and the height of McCarthyism paranoia.

By the 1960s, the motto shifted to “truth, justice and freedom” on the kids cartoon series, “The New Adventures of Superman.” But arguably the most well known “Superman” adaptation — the 1978 feature film starring Christopher Reeve — revived the “American Way” version, with the Man of Steel speaking the words himself, further cementing it in the cultural consciousness as the superhero’s credo.

Since then, however, the “American Way” motto has fallen out of favor. On the 1993 live-action series “Lois & Clark,” Superman fought for “truth and justice” full stop, and in the 2006 movie “Superman Returns,” starring Brandon Routh, Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White (Frank Langella) blithely asks if Superman still fights for “truth, justice, all that stuff.”

Just eight months ago, an issue of DC Comics’ “Batman/Superman #16” presented Superman’s mantra as “Truth, Tolerance and Justice,” which writer Gene Luen Yang tweeted was meant as an homage to the mission Clark Kent’s father gives him in a 1948 “Superman” film serial.

Again, it’s what it signifies: Leftists are trying to convince normal Americans that the country is evil, and that the name shouldn’t even be used in a slogan.

What's your cute backstory for removing the American flag from the movie about landing on the moon, First Man?

Marxist snowflake Democrats have to fuck everything up. Superman is now a bi-sexual liberal globalist...

WTF?

Why would a dude like Superman want to fight for YOUR American way?

And
AND

What's your problem?
I thought you guys hated the American way.
You know equality for all, justice for all and "all that stuff"

Yeah, not the first time you clowns have whined about this. You were whining 20 years ago while supporting the murder of innocent Muslims in Iraq.

Ain't it horrible meeting a person who can remember beyond Trump?

Leftists are lacking is what's called "discrimination." They are people whose rational thought process has devolved to a state where they can no longer differentiate between good and evil, right and wrong, and fantasy and reality.

They fancy themselves as being "hip", "edgy", or as being on the "leading edge." But the sad reality which they can't comprehend is this: They are only following trends in a sheep-like manner, in order to prevent from being isolated from or shunned by their peers. It's the only thing that validates their miserable existence.

Freud could have written an entire library trying to explain the dark, convoluted recesses of the liberal mind.
 
I'm not surprised.

DC/Warner Brothers have been in "partnership" with the Chinese government media for several years now.

They've turned Wonder Woman into an disgusting, mass murdering monstrosity.
They've turned Batman into a joke.
They've turned Superman into a piece of woke garbage.
They've turned several other superheros "gay".

I despise them and everything they have done and are doing to all the iconic comic book heroes we grew up with.

It's all part of the plan. When tyranny destroys society's heroes, tyranny assumes the persona of those heroes so society will worship them instead. That's why Marx claimed that "Religion is the opiate of the people." How else would he establish Marxism if the people had religious leaders to look up to?
 
American leftists looking upon America as such an awful country that the very name has to be removed from slogans is not a “little change.” It’s yet another step in convincing brainwashed Americans that our country is bad and should be erased.
Exactly.

"The American Way" has been shit for decades. If Lex Luthor ran for President he'd be the front runner for either party.
