In entertainment news, DC Comics is ditching “Truth, Justice and the American Way” as Superman’s motto and replacing it with “Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow”:
Superman's motto will be “evolving” from the well-known mantra that he fights for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”

This is not sitting well with many, including actor Dean Cain who played Superman:
I told you.

Meghan McCain added that she hates the new motto and “it’s dangerous and our enemies are watching the breakdown of national unity closely know it makes us weaker and them stronger”:
I hate this.
I hate what we’re doing in this country by eliminating patriotism like it’s something to be ashamed of.
It’s dangerous and our enemies are watching the breakdown of national unity closely knowing it makes us weaker and them stronger. https://t.co/YtPMEZRzQX

Cain responded to Meghan, “they won’t win”:
They’re trying to eliminate Patriotism, and weaken the idea of America 🇺🇸 but they won’t win, Meghan.

But, and it pains us to point that out, Kurt Eichenwald notes that Superman really hasn’t used “Truth, Justice and the American Way” for years:
…then it promptly died. No one used it. Not even uber "patriot" Dean Cain: In his early 1990s show, he fought for "truth and justice" – no American Way. Closest we came back to American Way was 2006 in Superman Returns when Perry White says "Truth, Justice, All that Stuff…/4

And he’s arguing this just gave DC Comics a ton of free publicity:

…DC made this nonsense announcement, the equivalent of "You know the slogan we've really never used? We're still not using it. We're using something else." And then got millions in free publicity from stupid conservs. It's like dangling keys in front of a baby. So predictable.

Well, we will just have to wait and see about that. But, since DC Comics is making changes, about how a Superman that wears his underpants on the inside?
Superman wears his underwear on top of his yoga pants.
You can never un-learn this.
