DC Comics has decided that the superhero whose alter ego is a farm boy from Kansas and whose uniform is practically a US flag should no longer fight for "The American Way." In an announcement at the DC FanDome event on Saturday, the company said that it's dropping that latter portion of the iconic motto for Clark Kent's Superman -- "Truth, Justice, and The American Way" -- and replacing it with something considerably more anodyne. Instead of "The American Way," Superman now fights for "a better tomorrow."
In a statement about the change, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee attributed it to a desire to be more inclusive in the storylines that DC tells. Which apparently means no longer grounding any of the Clark Kent-related Superman stories in singularly American tropes and themes. "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," Lee announced.
