No. Superman is an international hero, not just American.
And, lets face it, the American way is not the most popular attitude nowadays....

Do we Americans who cling to a simplistic 2 party system really know what the American way is anymore? I wanna close our borders and boot out illegals, others wanna embace him...Superman was NOT a politically correct hero way back during WW2. And through the cold war, our ways were clear. But now we are truly a country torn by those who want to take action and the others who worry what France might think.

Politics and Marketing--unfortunately this has a huge impact on these types of changes. Superman was originally marketed as being someone who came to protect Earth, not just the US-so actually I think the new way is a proper correction. But I also think the real reason it doesn't exist in the "motto" is because of marketing the movie to other countries and the "status quo" of our political issues.

No. He's everybody's hero. I think it's pretty arrogant to think that even a comic book character belongs only to americans. I'll take Canada over U.S. any day of the week.
FYI - The creator of the original Superman in the comics wasn't even American - He was born and raised in Canada.

Absolutely offensive. They have changed Superman to some weak-@ss. Now, instead of the role-model he was, he has a one-night stand and knocks up the hussy. His solution? He leaves her to raise the bastard child while he goes to "find himself" for 5 years.
Undermined a great character!

Yes! Just another nail in the coffin of what our country was founded on. Like making it OK to burn the flag or trying to take "Under God" off our currency and pledge of allegiance.
Keep it up and America will be a thing of the past!

I don't think it was offensive, but I don't think it's that necessary either. I don't think superman is really liked in other countries as much as the U.S., but maybe I'm wrong.

The company wants to make a lot of money over seas they only made 84 mil first five days here so they had him say it to not offend other countries.

The producers are trying to update the character so he appeals to a more international audience.
I just wish they had found a better way to do it than "...and the rest of that stuff."

I think it would bother me more if the American Way still existed.
