DC Comics removing ‘the American way’ from Superman slogan

For decades, the iconic comic-book character Superman has stood for "truth, justice and the American way." But apparently those days are over.
DC Comics, the longtime publisher of Superman comics, now says the Man of Steel stands for "truth, justice … and a better tomorrow," according to a report.
quote:
Lee declined to elaborate on why "the American way" was being discontinued. It has been linked to the character since the 1940s radio program "Adventures of Superman," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
quote:
The motto change was the second half of a recent 1-2 punch for fans of the traditional Superman. Last week came news that an upcoming Superman comic book will feature Jon Kent – son of Superman’s alter-ego, newspaper reporter Clark Kent – as a bisexual Superman.

China demanded it.
Superman is about to look suspiciously Asian.

The ultimate conundrum: Amazon is still selling tshirts with the “American way” motto.

The American Way gets in the way of the NWO

They demand unity over freedom.

Did they ask the creator if that was OK?

So they’re admitting that gay libs do not believe in America as founded?

Unbelievable. Maybe folks will stop buying their crap. Lol. They won’t. Americans these days are the most unpatriotic bloc of citizens this world has ever seen.

No one has been buying DC crap for a while. It's why they are trying this foolishness. This will just make it worse.

Weird these companies keep deciding it’s a good idea to venture into woke politics instead of simply making comics. I mean….why?

And wasn't there some kerfuffle back when the first reboot Superman Returns it was "truth, justice, and all that other stuff"?

DC lost their trade nark to the Phrase, back in 08
And DC has been as woke as marvel, you guys are late to the party.
follow Ethan Van Scover A Conservative comic artist, who worked for both companies, and was finally forced out at DC for being a trump supporter. The Claim of why he was fired is a joke. DC was going super woke then, and he was a problem.
Guy went from 1K a page, to one of top indy comic artists there is going. He's topped 1 million in sales with several books, and got 700K for his charaters action figures on a indy campaign.
I've been following the comic industry and the sjw vs normal writers/colorists/etc for years. Much better than the blm/sjw crap. The comic sjw's have much bigger balls, they go after people with full vengeance.

No one is buying comics at all, at least not the new stuff. Marvel and DC characters exist now strictly to fuel movies to Gen X and (some) Millenial audiences. Late Millenials and Gen Z didn't read comics at all. If Gen X continues their trend of fewer and fewer movies consumed, and if China ramps up their cultural war and starts banning American films, the American Movie industry will basically die out. Because they live off of that genre and those two core audience groups.
Dan Didio, the guy that runs DC comics for Warner Brothers was pissed off last year, because reprints of old Silver and Bronze age comics outsold first run stuff that he and his fellow wokesters keep pushing. He said he couldn't understand why. But everyone else knew why.

Perversion injustice and the Communist Chinese way !

Good points, I was referring to movies. DC movies don't make nearly as much as they should. Terrible stories and directing. Now throw in super woke....ouch
