Superman Renounces U.S. Citizenship as Warners, DC Comics Bids for Global Audience.


When SuperMan bails we should all take note.

The Internet is abuzz over this week's 900th issue of Action Comics, in which Superman says, "I am renouncing my US citizenship." After officials criticize him for joining a million protesters in a peaceful anti-Ahmadinejad vigil in Iran, he reflects, "I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of US policy. 'Truth, Justice and the American Way' -- it's not enough anymore. The world's too small. Too connected."
"This is absolutely sickening," commented one reader on Foxnews.com. "We are now down to destroying all American Icons. How are we going to survive as a Nation?" Swamp Fox Press blogged, "Bleep Superman. I urge a boycott of Warner Brothers, all DC franchises, and particularly Superman." The conservative Weekly Standard called Superman's citizenship renunciation "about the dumbest thing DC Comics could do."
Not necessarily. It's part of a thoughtful plan to rebrand Superman in an entertainment universe that is indeed smaller than it was 899 issues ago. When Superman Returns changed his famous slogan to "Truth, justice, and all that other stuff" in 2006, coscreenwriter Dan Harris told THR, "He's an international superhero." It's even more important to be international these days, when the market is so global that some tentpole movies (most recently Thor) open abroad before they do in the US. GI Joe went from a "Real American Hero" to an acronym for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity."

Too bad you can't just "Renounce" your US Citizenship. It takes a few years and a bunch of cash and lots of paperwork to do.

What about the profit motive? Is it a wise move to Make Superman a Citizen of the World?

Simply put Superman is acknowledging that Wealth is Global and poverty is National. National as in whatever nation you are poor in.
I can think of none more qualified than Superman to present a positive image.

It's reason to buy Superman comics if I ever saw one.

Why don't the owners of DC give up their citizenship and fucking move to their NWO country. I hope they take the rest of these sorry bastards that believe in a NWO with them. This is America and we don't need a fucking a new world order.

Can't superman just fly around the earth backwards and make time go in reverse? Why doesn't he just send us back to the 50's and 60's and to the Heyday of America?
