What'sa motto with you?

Well, this is going to make them lose their minds. What? You wonder aloud? And who? Well, the who is Conservatives and the what is Superman. Yes again, but this time it isn't about how bi he is but rather his new motto. 

"Everything that falls outside my personal experience confuses and outrages me!"

-Conservatives

Traditionally Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American way, but according to Jim Lee, DC's Chief Creative Officer at today's DC FanDom, it's now--huh? Oh, it's like their version of that day once a year when Apple holds a press conference and the media pretends its news. Anyway, the new motto is truth, justice and a better tomorrow. And that sound you hear? That's a million Conservative fingers Tweeting their outrage. Suddenly a bunch of asshats who've never picked up a comic book in their life will wax--or more accurately tweet--nostalgic about their youths spent biking down to the five and dime to buy the latest issue of Action Comics and bask in the righteousness of American values.

"It has absolutely nothing to do with
all the countries we've bombed..."

Gross. Anyway, Lee didn't address why the "American way" bit was dropped, other than to say that the change is to

"...better reflect the storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor Superman's incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world, Superman's motto is evolving..."

-Jim Lee, speaking fluent corporate

Which...sure. I mean, narratively, Superman isn't the jingoistic boy scout he might have been in the olden days, so the change makes perfect sense. But I suspect this is Lee's way of saying they'd like to get away from the "America can do no wrong" nonsense implied in the old motto without pissing people off. Except it will, it totally will, so break out the popcorn.
