It didnt go over well when singer used the ''truth, justice, all that stuff'' line. Frankly, it offended me a little because he omitted the american way part of it.
Now, i'm not saying that I think we should see supes in a parade, waving a flag around while singing God bless America, but you gotta admit, the kents WERE patriotic after all and they did raise Clark, so it stands to reason some of that would have rubbed off on supes as well.
As for it offending the rest of the world, I don't think so. It certainly hasn't hurt Bay or Raimi's films. I'd argue Spidey was even more in your face with the stars and stripes than S:TM was.
I see it like this, If Superman had came from France, then i'd expect him to reflect that countries beliefs and values. If from England, then their beliefs and values. But he's not, he was raised in a remote part of middle America, pretty much the heart of it, and I expect to see his beliefs reflect that.
If it kills them to have him be a little patriotic then i'd rather they just have nothing said at all concerning it, than to have another stupid line like ''truth justice and all that stuff''. That was so blantently PC it was sad.
Anywho Zemeckis FTW.
