Superman still stands For Truth, Justice and 'The American Way'

Still upset that Superman gave the American Flag the middle finger?

Well don't be.

The story seen in Action Comics 900 is not going to stick, nor was it meant to, rather it was a 'what if' story.

Not really sure what that means but Comicbookmovie.com claims to have talked to DC Comics Home Office and this is what DC (???) told them,

"the story itself was simply a look at what could be and not what is."

and per the site this is DC Comics official statement,

"This short story is just that, it will not be followed up upon. Superman will remain as American as Apple pie."

This is, of course, fantastic news! It also sounds as if DC Comics is trying to do a little damage control. I certainly hope that this will give the editors something to think about when they come across any more 'agendaed' writing...

Marvel comics had to issue an apology when a Captain America comic suggested that the Tea Party were a bunch of racists... I understand that there is a plethora of political views out there... But it appears that the writers need to understand this as well.

Bravo to DC for the decision... even if it looks like they are wiping egg off their faces.
