He is the Man of Steel, he is fighting for humanity, not the stupid dreams of US people. for that they have his Capn america and for me, its stupid partiotism, Superman is the Best alongside Batman!!!!
Superman was not even born in America, he wasn't even born on Earth! What reason is there that he should protect America only? Oh, and we should also take into account the fact that he is a fictional character!
In "The American Way: Why Superman Got It Wrong" written by author Thomas Purcell, he describes in detail how American Exceptionalism was a hard won process; and not something we were born with. He explains why Superman would never have done this and explores the reasons why in "The American Way" that the rest of the world should be striving to be more like America, not the other way around. You can get it on Amazon. Kindle its only like 3 bucks.
the superman premise is of course silly, but the last time supermans writers said screw you and baZingGa to readers and viewers that I paid attention,, was the ending of the first cris reeve movie, when he saved lois' life by reversing the earths spin,,
@XSonicAdventureX so that he wouldn't be seen as a political tool by the u.s. and show that he wants to save everyone on the planet. also, if people saw him fighting in america's name in iran, the people would get angry and want to fight the us. so by doing this, he's not only attemting to save lives internationally, he's also still protecting american lives too. besides, why should he have to only protect americans? and what if he doesn't agree with our policies?
@ivanlivelas true, he maybe from another world but raised in America. And showing that, even people from other countries or other planets can be heroes as well :)
@ivanlivelas Let them think and do what they want, I wanna see an officer trying to make him leave the USA, I really sure he will be welcome in ANY other country!!!
I wonder how many people freaking out about this have read the story. Superman gives up his citizenship to protect the American people, so that we don't have to suffer the consequences of his actions.
I pretty much see yet another Marketing attempt to indroduce a tactic of sensationalism. A shock and AH as it were. Traditionaly he is American, his character has stood in front of countless American flags through the 1940's to present. He has become ingrained into Americana. Personaly I think this won't last, he is simply This countries Hero.
wait a minute are talking about superman like he is a real person i love comics as much as the next guy but come on santa cluas lives at the north pole lets do a news story about how un american he is
1. Did Superman EVER have American citizenship? He's an illegal alien!
2. The phrase "American Way" didn't follow the famous "Truth, justice" line until the aftermath of Pearl Harbor.
3. Joe Shuster, who was one of Superman's co-creators was a born and raised CANADIAN citizen! Eventually he became a naturalized U.S. Citizen, but not until long after. Metropolis and the Daily Planet were modeled after Toronto and the Toronto Star!
Jeez,let's make him gay,black and devoted to Global Warming now.Oh,and for abortion too!And an atheist!Let's see,who else is offended by him being a white American man?Oh,yeah,make him a woman as well.
@ErickReyKing1 maybe read the comic first and find out why he renounced his citizenship. It was so his actions don't reflect poorly on the U.S. he saved some demonstrators from the Iranian government. The Iranians said it was an act of war from the U.S. so superman renounces his citizenship so when he goes to another country and does his super shit it won't reflect poorly on the U.S.
@superbat45 I Know that, i mean DC Comics say basically Superman is a Proud American but DC Comics decide to take his Citizenship, i'm just being Sarcastic because this People of DC Comics the do this are Idiots !!!
@ErickReyKing1 well no He is a proud american. He is making a sacrifice so his actions do not hurt the United States. Superman is now a global figure. Clark Kent is still a U.S. citizen.. They have done the same thing with batman. There are now multiple batmen all over the globe working as global peace keeping agents. Also They are starting a new justice league team called justice league international.
@Fauxchinaski I like how we (as Americans) are allways lumped together for one and for another, allways bagged on but who is the first country all the others ask to feed there starving kids they keep making but can't feed, or help with relief aid when there's been a disaster or help fight THERE war or help protect them or there "important" gov or tresures and esp help with medical to the sic that there own goverment won't help,There are alot of self-centered people but it isn't just in AMERICA.
Google Superman images and you'll notice he's posing in a bunch of them with an American flag. This is bullshit. Why must we always pander to the rest of the world? Is it that big of a deal that Superman is an American? Find your own damned icons.
