The Hollywood machine is quite eager to take advantage of the Independence Day crowds, releasing the new version of Superman on the July 4th weekend.
But the screenwriters and their studio overseers were so embarrassed by Superman’s American heritage that they changed the famous slogan “truth, justice, and the American way” ... to “truth, justice, and all that stuff."

Six: I imagine you have a problem with this? You're the one who supports the American Way meaning torture, spying on your own citizens, "shock and awe", Enron, and "all that stuff".
DC certainly understands the global appeal of its franchise superhero, and to paint him as a tool of an imperialist America would be detrimental to their profits when America has such a poor reputation around the world right now.
You should be proud of this fact. This is what you wanted when you voted for Bush twice, right?
