If you remember, in David Goyer’s most recent issue of DC comics’ Action Comics, Superman got all sanctimonious and Leftist about being an American citizen and huffed his intention to renounce his citizenship: “‘Truth, justice and the American way’ — It’s not enough anymore.”
Whatever.
According to Bleeding Cool, though, Superman is something of a schizophrenic and maybe even a super-secret neocon because in today’s edition of DC Comics’ Superman he’s all about The America again.
Above is the first frame of the comic’s closing page, below the fold you can read the rest…

Again via Bleeding Cool, here’s the full transcript:
“That’s what America is about, really. That’s the American way. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – and second chances. None of us are forced to be anything we don’t want to be. When I was young I know that I would be someone different when I grew up. I would leave home and make a new life for myself. A new start, a second chance. When I first went to Metropolis, it was full of people who’d done the same thing. People from all over America – from over the world – who went to the city to live the lives they anted – to be the people they wanted to be. That’s the idea that America was founded on, but it’s not just for the people born here, it’s for everyone. And it’s for people like me and Livewire too.”
“…not just for the people born here, it’s for everyone.”
Wow. So in Action Comics, Superman is United Nations kinda guy apparently ashamed of being an American, but in Superman he’s a flag-waving patriot and a bit of a neocon prepared to spread the American way throughout the land. Interesting.
As someone sitting less than twenty feet from over 500 Superman comics collected over the long course of a misspent youth, I’d very much like this all to end with Neocon Superman sending pansy-ass United Nations’ Superman to the Phantom Zone … forever.
