Well, technically he is an illegal alien.
Someone please tell me I'm wrong, and that it's just a set-up for some bold declaration at the end of the movie!
[Note: That was supposed to be in the main post.]
I posted yesterday that modifying the language isn't new. The 1968 animated 'New Adventures of Superman,' for example, said 'truth, justice, & freedom.' That was almost 40 years ago.
I don't think this is a big deal.
Oh, come on. Perry White said that, not Superman. And, since Perry White is probably a commie pinko newspaper editor, like Sulzberger and Keller, he probably couldn't bring himself to say "Americal Way" unless it was in conjuction with "People for the..."
It's just a movie.
What are you talking about?
Maybe he should also be potrayed as memeber of 700 club.
Unbelieveable what connections people try to make.
They should have started from scratch. Batman Begins wasn't tied to the Burton Batman movie, and that wasn't tied to the Adam West Batman. Since the 80's movies came out, the comics have wiped the slate clean and revamped the story in much improved way. Now we have a movie seriously out of sync with current continuity, and continuing what was IMHO a blunder of Superman II, namely having them sleep together like that.
Superman's true souce of power comes from holding himself to a higher moral code than others. That is how he inspires, and how he avoids using his powers for selfish gain, and where he finds the strength to defeat opponents greater than himself. Too bad the writers don't realize that.
I didn't like it...but that scene was just a small moment comparatively speaking. Overall, the movie was excellent.
