Well, the writers of Superman have failed us. Superman has been 'Superman' for as long as I can remember. He is as American as apple pie. His motto has been: "Truth, justice and the American way." He has been a hero in America! Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938, Superman has been a devoted American warrior who constantly fought evil and won!
The online Fox news article stated: "I intend to speak before the United Nations tomorrow and inform them that I am renouncing my U.S. citizenship," he says in a cell in the issue. "I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy."
The article continues: "Besides being riddled with a blatant lack of patriotism, and respect for our country, Superman's current creators are belittling the United States as a whole. By denouncing his citizenship, Superman becomes an eerie metaphor for the current economic and power status the country holds worldwide," Hollywood publicist and GOP activist Angie Meyer told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. - "Truth, justice, and the American way -- it's not enough anymore," Superman (via writers) states.
It's difficult enough to realize there are enemies and terrorists plotting to do us harm - but now there are comic writers who are willing to add fuel to the fire, so to speak. What's wrong with staying strong and supportive of our country? What's wrong with being patriotic? What's wrong with flying our nation's flag?
If even our comic heros can't remain American...because of twisted writers...what's next?
I'm still proud to be an American.
And to me, Superman will always be an American hero...
