Superman’s 250th US anniversary absence
The article discusses how DC Comics has abandoned patriotic celebrations of America, such as Superman’s bicentennial comics from the 1970s, which highlighted American values and history. Over time, Superman's portrayal has shifted away from representing American ideals, culminating in DC's 2011 decision for Superman to renounce his citizenship and subsequent changes to his character and motto. The piece argues that Superman, created in America and symbolizing its foundational values, remains a powerful American cultural ambassador, and suggests that celebrating him during the nation’s 250th anniversary could inspire pride and hope.
