After sparking outrage by dropping Superman’s pro-American mantra dating back to World War II, it appears a new film adaption of the famous DC Comics superhero will be a return to patriotic form.
Superman is one of the earliest and most iconic superheroes, with a nearly 90-year history since his creation in the 1930s by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. He has been played by movie stars ranging from Christopher Reeve to Dean Cain and Henry Cavill.
One of Superman’s mottos was "Truth, Justice and the American Way," which, according to NBC News came from a "Superman" radio serial in the early 1940s amid World War II. The saying was also used in the 1978 "Superman" movie adaptation. DC Comics met controversy when, in 2021, it changed his motto so be the more globally inclusive "truth, justice … and a better tomorrow."
A March 15, 2023 press release from DC parent Warner Bros. Discovery appeared to imply that the new "Superman: Legacy" film may play to American nostalgia rather than woke sensibility.
"Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas," the press release read. "He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned."
