This Man of Steel could use some mettle

"....The American icon is no longer an American. He's not proud of the American way.
It says so in The Hollywood Reporter, in a story by Tatiana Siegel, about the movie that other reviewers insisted was so, so iconic.
The real Superman, the pre-Kyoto, pre-Guantanamo Bay Superman, understood who he was. He fought for "truth, justice and the American way." That was his credo--even while threatening terrorists into giving up important information in time to save the day.
But in the new movie, the Man of Steel can't even bring himself to say it. Instead, a supporting character, played by Frank Langella, says Superman stands for "truth, justice and all that stuff."
All that stuff? Why didn't he just say "truth, justice and, you know, like, whatever?"
