But Superman doesn't live in the Fortress of Solitude. It's more of a weekend/vacation spot than anything else, just when Supes needs to get away from it all. Otherwise, he lives in a regular apartment in Metropolis.

The American Way may be more Golden Age Superman than anything else, but so was the idea that Clark Kent was just a shell, a front for Superman's activities while only Superman was the dominant psychological persona, whereas the more modern interpretation is that Clark Kent is the real man while Superman is just a disguise. There's this qutoe out there "Superman is what I can do. Clark Kent is who I am."

But unfortunately, the new movie seems to be leaning towards this idea that Clark is just a non-persona again and that only Superman is the real psychological being, which sucks.

There will be subtle deviations from tradition. The slogan "Truth, Justice and the American Way" won't be heard; instead, newspaper editor Perry White says "Truth, justice, all that stuff." It's a nuance that could help bolster international appeal, at a time when the image of the United States is not exactly at its zenith.

I know I'm going to get blasted, but I'm am American and changing to line to "Truth, justice and that stuff" is political correct bs.

Superman may not have said the line in Superman II, but he did say it in Superman I. Superman is an American so he should fight for the American Way(and I don't mean Bushes way), and we as truth and Justice. It is a classic line and should not be altered just try to avoid offending nonAmericans. If they get offended, too bad. The movie should make the studios more than enough $$$ in US alone without worrying about pandering to the rest of the world. And if your worring about offending people, what about the Americans you'll be offending by taking out the line?

Wouldn't surprise me if the line was dubbed into something different in another country, like the British accent gag in Robin Hood: Men In Tights, some countries had the line changed from "Because unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can actually speak with an English accent" to "Unlike other Robin Hoods, I do not cost the producters five million" and "Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I do not dance with wolves". Wouldn't surprise me at all if the line went from "I'm here to fight for Truth, Justice and the American way" to "I'm here to fight for truth, justice, and the human race." or something like that.

Can you imagine Superman delivering the "I hate sand" speech to Lois Lane?

Did we cover the fact that the actor playing Superman is too young to be returning from anything?
