In the film Superman Returns (which is really awful, by the way, just total drek), Perry White, editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, says that Superman stands for "truth, justice, and all that stuff." Traditionally, Superman is said to stand for truth, justice, and the American Way. Michael Dougherty, co-writer of Superman Returns sez:
"We were always hesitant to include the term 'American Way.' I think when people say 'American Way' they're actually talking about what the 'American Way' meant back in the '40s and '50s, which was something more noble and idealistic."
You heard it here first, folks, in the opinion of Michael Dougherty "White Only" drinking fountains, movie theaters, bus seating, and other forms of legal public discrimination against minorities, common sights throughout America in the 1940s and 1950s, were both noble and ideal.
