The bad news: He’s supposed to be an immortal symbol of truth, justice, and the American way. Or at least he was before that line got written out of the script in order not to offend foreign audiences. The good news: Isn’t he … an illegal alien? Since when did we start admitting people from Krypton, anyway? Ah well. More work available now for American patriots like Batman and Spider-Man.
I’m actually not sure what to make of this:
Goyer’s installment, with tense art from Miguel Sepulveda, steals the spotlight in Action Comics No. 900. When Superman drops in on an Iranian protest to stand with demonstrators in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience, the U.S. government takes him to task for acting as an instrument of national policy. Superman responds by renouncing his American citizenship and proclaiming himself a citizen of the universe…

How come Superman has stopped aging? I mean he flew in here as a baby and grew up in Kansas, did the high school thing and got a job at the paper.
But now, it doesn’t look like he’s aging anymore. What’s up with that? Can we get the Daily Planet on the interweb?
Superman doesn’t age probably for the same reason that Tarzan never needs a shave.
I can believe the Obama Regime taking a hard stance against such a move. Now, had Superman gone to Egypt or Libya, he'd be shooting hoops with Barry the next week.
All Superman will get this Christmas is a lump of green Kryptonite.
I know I’m turning down a lot of fun here, but...
If Kal-El isn’t an American anymore, I’m not sure I’m going to pretend to be Kal-El anymore.
It’s just another example of how liberals ruin everything they touch. I wish the little punks who think the purpose of the comic book industry is to make points about American politics would get exposed to kryptonite...not the real kryptonite (I’m not wishing cancer on them) but whatever is their kryptonite. I suspect testosterone is the substance in question.
What really sucks is that people like Cindy Sheehan don’t renounce their American citizenship, but the symbol of truth, justice and the American way does after on little tiff with Obama.

BTW, I seem to recall that the last time Supoes decided to become a “citizen of the world” it was in the Justice League Animated Series. He didn’t renounce his citizenship in so many words, but he showed up at the UN and told them he was getting rid of all the nukes. Similar storyline happened in Superman IV, IIRC.
How’d that work out? In the Justice League version, a few months later we were nearly wiped out as a species by a massive invasion force of White Martians. In the Supes IV version the Nuclear Man nearly screwed us all.
In other words, past comic writers used the idea of Supes putting America aside as an indication he had lost his way and started deciding that he had enough wisdom to solve our problems for us. Now they think it means he’s smart. Why? Because he thinks like them.
That’s true...so sad, Nancy never reached puberty and had kids, grandkids...
Must be horrible to be a comic book or cartoon character, how do they all survive such a mundane life?
Lex Luthor can be invited...the more the merrier!
That would be the Superman of Earth-10.
Yes, I'm a comic book geek.
Here’s a question:
How did Ma Kent manage to make his costumes from his blankets and other materials found inside the rocket if they could not be cut, burned, torn, ripped or otherwise modified because they were ‘super’ too?...................
