Superman is leaping forward with a new motto.
The hero will no longer refer to the “American way” in the DC comic books, and will instead use the phrase “Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow.”
“Superman’s new motto of ‘Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow’ will better reflect the global storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor the character’s incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world,” Jim Lee, publisher and chief creative officer of DC Comics, said in a statement Saturday.
“Superman has long been a symbol of hope who inspires people from around the world, and it is that optimism and hope that powers him forward with this new mission statement.”
The former motto, “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” is one of several that has been used by Superman and dates back to the early 1940s, according to Variety.
