What happened to "Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN way"?

This is pure, immature, crap; adults with the wherewithall to understand this malarky do not read comic books, and those young people who still read comics probably don't even understand it. It would be very boring to a ten year old.

When Superman starts being used for propaganda, it's time to just shut down Superman comics...

Nah. I’m more surprised that idiots actually buy comics. Haven’t bought one in 5 years because they are available on the web for free download LOL.

Once upon a time, the Fascists claimed to be a race of supermen. This claim proved to be false. It has taken a long time, but Fascism rises again, and this time they have decided that if they can't be supermen, then an American citizen can't be one either.

What happened to "Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN way"?

It disappeared in the last movie, roughly ninety minutes before we learned that Superman is secretly a deadbeat dad.

The new film had upset some Superman purists before its opening, once news surfaced that the plot of the movie had the Man of Steel learning that girlfriend Lois Lane had given birth to his illegitimate son. Others objected to news that the flick's screenwriters had insisted that the famous phrase "truth, justice and the American way" be exorcised from the story in order to avoid offending other nations.
