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.

It's easy to work yourself into a lather when you don't know the facts...
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.”

It is their superhero. They couldn't make any changes if it wasn't.
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.
DC and Marvel comics have been keeping Hollywood afloat for the last several years.

With the lefties running things, that wouldn’t surprise me. Anything associated with the majority - whites, Christians - is being denigrated or erased.I hear Charlie Brown is now celebrating Kwanzaa instead of Christmas. You better get on it.

Oh, I don't know... the Billions of dollars made by the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies would say otherwise.
The fact that these characters are so marketable, even with Warner not being able to produce a good movie yet, says a lot of people care about them.
If anything, Comic Books don't get the credit they deserve.
You can write a story, and call it literature.
You can draw a picture and call it art.
But you combine the two in a comic book or graphic novel, and it suddenly becomes childish?
