In the screenwriters’ own words: SUPERMAN’S motto, “Truth, justice and the American way,” has been rewritten in the new “Superman Returns” to “Truth, justice and . . . all that stuff.” Jeannie Wolf reports on Movies.com that screenwriters Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris wanted to avoid outdated jingoism. Dan: “I don’t think ‘the American way’ means what it meant in 1945.” Mike: “He’s not just for Metropolis and not just for America.” Dan: “He’s an alien, from Krypton; he has come to Earth to be kind of a savior for this world, not our country . . .

For all we know he still completely stands for "the American Way". It was the Newspaper editor that said this line, and we all know how they think.

Now I'm so disappointed to learn that superman is soldiering for the "new world order" instead of America... I will definitely NOT see this movie. Hollywood, you can stick it!

OK...they want it that way? Tell they to try to get 70 'yuan' for a seat in a Chineez theater...
