On a side note , I don't want to talk politics and I don't think it needs reasons to change Superman's mojo but I want to add that U said it could be understandable in the 70es because of the Watergate, the vietnam and so on .., but I don't think G.W. Bush being president is a good thing either , U see what I mean? Anyway I don't think Superman ideals have to depend of nation's behaviour in reality.I think this is a mistake

I watched one of the trailers for Superman Returns where Perry White asks, "Does he still stand for truth, justice, all that stuff?" Hold the presses there Perry, to my recollection, he stands for truth, justice, and the American way. I don't know what kind of motivation or agenda the writers, director, producers have, but I am SORELY disappointed in their cowardace in changing what an American icon Superman has been.

Superman is more than american , he's universal. I remember in the 70es when C.Reeves said "Truth, Justice, and .... " He thought Superman needed something beyond the"ideals" of ONE nation. This is my opinion as well.
I remember in Justice League Superman said "truth, justice, and liberty". That's my cue.
I think Superman has to fight for th ideals of human kind not the one's of a nation. Imagine this nation change or open its frontier like in Europe, or is divided or something else .... would that mean Superman has to change his ideals or keep the one of a nation that longer exist? It's too much reduced.
Different nation have their "mojo" And Superman's ideals are a mix of all those ideals humanity will always have and look up to.
I don't understand why it's so terrible. I mean he is still american, he lives in an american city ... well ....
What is important is that he does see beyond frontiers.
Anyway this is only my 2 cents opinion.
