super-shy to be an American

To broaden the appeal of the Superman remake to global audiences, the screenwriters have also remade the superhero’s image and motto. It is now:

“Truth, justice, and…all of that stuff.”
Jeanne Wolf spoke to Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris:

Mike: “When it comes to “the American way,” that’s tricky.”
Dan: “I don’t think ‘the American way’ means what it meant in 1945.”
Mike: “He’s not just for Metropolis, and not just for America.”
Dan: “He’s an alien, from Krypton; he has come to Earth to be kind of a savior for this world, not our country … And he has no papers.”
Mike: “What would happen with the immigration laws we have now?”
Dan: “I’d like to see someone kick him out!”

Not just in our name, Supe!
