Tim Sale Was Not A Normal Comic Book Artist, And There’ll Never Be Another One Like Him
Thank you, Tim, for all the beauty you put into this world while you were here.
The iconic character Superman is getting a new motto, but while many may be familiar with the phrase "truth, justice and the American way," the new motto, "Truth, Justice and A Better Tomorrow," does not mention America.
"To better reflect the storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor Superman's incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world, Superman's motto is evolving," DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee said. "Superman has long been a symbol of hope who inspires people, and it is that optimism and hope that powers him forward with this new mission statement."
A 2006 opinion piece by Erik Lundegaard says that according to Mark Waid, the familiar "American way" phrase first showed up on a radio program. That piece also said that the phrase was later used in a television program which aired during part of the 1950s.
"The new motto, which will be used in main continuity for Clark Kent's Superman, will be featured across all mediums including comic books, film, TV, video games and more. As comic book fans already know, the DC Multiverse has featured multiple Supermen over the years, sometimes even at the same time," according to DC Comics.
"In honor of the real-world superheroes who are striving to make this world a better place, the next generation of Superman characters like Jon Kent will be fighting for "Truth, Justice and a Better World", as first introduced in SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL #1," the company said.
The announcement comes after the company recently revealed that Jon Kent, the son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, will be bisexual. Actor Dean Cain, who more than two decades ago played the Man of Steel during a 1990s television series, described that announcement as "bandwagoning."
"After initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura, he and Jon become romantically involved in the pages of SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL #5 from writer Tom Taylor (DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL) and artist John Timms (HARLEY QUINN)," DC Comics announced earlier this month.
The revelation regarding Jon Kent will occur in the Nov. 9 issue, according to Variety.
On today's show, Steven Crowder and the crew cover DC Comics' new bisexual Superman, whom the left says is brave and bold. Former Superman actor Dean Cain says no, and he joins Crowder to explain why. Also, Crowder investigates the Loudoun County school rape story. That and more on today's episode of "Louder with Crowder."

Even Superman — the world's strongest superhero — is unable to withstand the woke mob's efforts to rebrand every facet of society with progressive values.
DC Comics announced Monday that Clark Kent's son and super-heroic heir, Jon Kent, will soon "take a bold new direction" by coming out as bisexual after falling in love with a male friend.
"The same-sex relationship is just one of the ways" he is "proving to be a different Superman than his famous father," the New York Times added in a glowing write-up about the comic series, "Superman: Son of Kal-El."
The Times noted that since the series launched in July, its main protagonist "has combated wildfires caused by climate change, thwarted a high school shooting, and protested the deportation of refugees in Metropolis."
But there is one notable way in which the famous father and son are similar: they both have taken a romantic interest in a reporter.
"After initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura, he and Jon become romantically involved," the comic book company wrote in a news release. "Following a scene where Superman mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can, Jay is there to care for the Man of Steel."
The development will reportedly be unveiled on the pages of the series' Nov. 9 release.

"I've always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I'm very grateful DC and Warner Bros. share this idea," writer Tom Taylor said in the release. "Superman's symbol has always stood for hope, for truth, and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics."
In conversation with the Times, he added, "The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity."
The "new Superman had to have new fights — real world problems — that he could stand up to as one of the most powerful people in the world," he explained.
While Superman is not the first comic book character to receive the woke LGBT treatment, he is certainly the most famous.
NPR reported that just two months ago, DC Comics announced that the character of Tim Drake, who is one of numerous Robins in the multiverse, would begin a romantic relationship with another man.
"Yes, it's real. Big-time, marquee superheroes are officially queer," NPR wrote. "Names even your most dithering, out-of-touch great-uncle would recognize: Robin, the Boy Wonder! Superman, the original superhero!"
