After nearly 80 years, Superman will no longer fight for “truth, justice and the American way.” Instead, DC Comics announced Saturday that Superman will now be fighting for “truth, justice and a better tomorrow.” At DC FanDome 2021 over the weekend, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee said the change is part of an effort “to better reflect the storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor Superman’s incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world.” “Superman has long been a symbol of hope,” Lee said, and added that the new catchphrase is meant to fully embody that hope for everyone. Coined in a 1942 episode of the “Superman” radio show, “Truth, Justice, and the American Way” became synonymous with the superhero thanks to its use in the opening credits of the 1950s TV series “The Adventures of Superman.”
