A disaster? How so? The United States of America was founded on the ideals of Truth and Justice, so it is the American way. Like I said in my previous post, just because the current administration might be making some people angry (others were angry at the US before he came into office, so that's not his fault), doesn't mean that Truth and Justice aren't still the American way.
You said truth and justice is the American way so I would say truth and justice would be enough. Besides, superman is not an american, he's not even human.
Physically, he's not human, but he was raised on a quaint farm in Kansas by a couple of Americans, and he lives in and protects one of America's greatest cities.
Excuse me? Are you saying, that based on your (in my opinion erroneous) view that Bush is somehow unjust and untruthful, that America no-longer stnads for truth and justice? That's incredibly near-sighted. Did anyone say America was inherently untruthful and unjust when Clinton was being impeached for lying under oath? Or was Nixon's sin somehow the fault of the American people?
Mixing "the American way" with a universal figure like superman will look like Americans can't look beyond there own country. There's no truth and justice in any other part of the world?

Adding "the American way" would not be bad in my opinion because of the current administration, it has nothing to do with that.

"Truth, Justice, and The American Way," is as far as I know a phrase that originanted in the 1950s Superman television series. It's something that's been associated with the character of Superman for over 50 years. If you look up the phrase on Wikipedia, it literally redirects you to the Superman article.
