FOX News Reacts to Superman's New Slogan
Superman has a new slogan, which is probably news to anyone who isn't an avid comic book news consumer. The chief creative officer and publisher for DC, Jim Lee, announced yesterday that Superman's new mission statement is "Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow," which is a slight alteration on his old one, "Truth, Justice, and the American Way." The old slogan was first used in the 1940s to help rally support for American troops fighting in World War II and stuck around.
FOX News reacted to this today and believed it to be yet another example of the detrimental impact "woke" culture has on society. Harris Faulkner believes the change is telling consumers to not love America and decried that on today's episode of Outnumbered.
Fox is BIG MAD that Superman's slogan is now: "Truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" instead of "Truth, justice, and the American way"

Faulkner: "I don't think there's any confusion here, we're being told not to love our country, or at least it feels that way"

Who knew Superman could be so divisive?
