It already has been revealed to the world, as of a couple years ago.
Ah. I guess I haven’t kept up. I guess the whole Sekrit Identity thing is passe.
Lucius Fox: Now, let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp… and your plan is to blackmail this person?
Let’s just say that ol’ Lexie didn’t take the reveal very well.
Remember this 2006 tempest in a teapot?
Whatever path you wanted - unless you wanted to be godless or a commie.
At that time, wouldn’t “the Spanish way” have been Francoism?
They are indeed!
His secret identity has been revealed a couple times in the last 5 or 6 years. I hope this one sticks a little longer than the last one - or at least is undone in a way that destroys less of the interesting stuff that’s been done with the Super-family since…
I don’t read the comic books, but I thought Bisexual Supe (Next Generation) was now the current hero. So shouldn’t the new motto be Truth, Justice and the LGBTQ+ way?
Looking it up, you are correct. This is Jon Kent, not Clark. The latter is currently dealing with issues offworld in the series in question (Superman: Son of Kal-El). He’s just come back from the 31st Century, where he was helping the Legion of Super-Heroes for a while.
I’m quite sure the Traditionalists will be up in arms. LOL
As I remarked in another thread, I was startled when I first saw the opening to the first Fleischer Superman cartoon, in which Superman is said to stand for “Truth, Justice”, but doesn’t go on to say “…and the American Way”. (In fact, it doesn’t even say “Truth AND Justice”, as if it’s getting ready for a third entry.). I grew up on the 1950s TV series, which had the Trinity of “Truth, Justice, and the American Way”. Evidently “The American Way” was added to broadcasts of the radio show during WWII, which is understandable, considering that we were fighting nationalities with some abhorrent views. But it wasn’t the way it went originally.
You’re assuming they ever put them down. Those pearls are clutched in a death-grip.
Giving rise to the new saying “Useless as a Secret Service agent to the President.”
The news radio station here in Chicago, WBBM, runs a syndicated program at midnight on weeknights, which is an hour of old-time radio shows; one of the shows which is regularly run (probably once a week) is “The Adventures of Superman.” I have noted that, in those shows, the line in the opening is just “Truth and Justice,” with no mention of “the American Way,” and I think that most of the ones I’ve heard recently have been from the late '40s or very early '50s.
If that’s the case, I might hypothesize that “the American Way” was a Cold War addition, in the same way that “under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954.
The link I quoted from in post #26 makes it clear that it was added during WWII, dropped when the U.S. was sure to win, and brought back for the tv show.
Oops, sorry, @Exapno_Mapcase , I missed that. That’d explain why it’s not there in the radio episodes I’ve been listening to.
“Truth, Justice, and Going Both Ways”?
Who is going to fight for Truth, Justice and A Better Tomorrow II?
