"Superman has always been bigger than the United States. In an age rife with immigration paranoia, it’s refreshing to see an alien refugee tell the United States that it’s as important to him as any other country on Earth -- which, in turn, is as important to Superman as any other planet in the multiverse,"
Yeah but does he have to denounce his Citizenship to do it or are the writers of Superman just a bunch of liberal ass clowns that are slightley Anti American And pro Illegal Immigration?
If this is the Case and we are gonna see another American Super Hero torn down Because of Ignorant political correctness, Then Superman can Get the F out with the rest of the Bunch.
This is the country Immigrants strive to come too, that does not mean you have to hate America to do it! Try being a part of the country you wish to live in, try getting along like normal people, it is O.K. to be proud of where you come from but you should also be proud of where you choose to Live!

Superman is no longer an American.
In Action Comics’ new record-breaking 900th issue, the iconic super hero renounces his U.S citizenship following a clash with the federal government.
The Man of Steel, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938, has always been recognized as a devoted American warrior who constantly fought evil, but as of Thursday, he is no longer the country's own to claim.
"I intend to speak before the United Nations tomorrow and inform them that I am renouncing my U.S. citizenship," he says in a cell in the issue. "I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy."
Superman even questions his longtime motto: "Truth, justice and the American way."

Merkel to honor Mohammed cartoonist at press award
The U.S is not alone with Our Muslim Issues , Reading this whole article it sounds as if Chancellor Merkel , Is being told to watch what she does or else !
Just some more Peaceful Antics from those Crazy ass Muslims !
(Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel risked angering Muslims by speaking at an awards ceremony on Wednesday for a Dane whose cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed provoked sometimes violent protests by Muslims five years ago.
The 75-year-old cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, whose drawings of Mohammed that offended Muslims worldwide first appeared in Danish paper Jyllands-Posten in 2005, was due to receive a prize Wednesday evening at a conference on freedom of the press.
At a time of fierce debate in Germany over disparaging remarks about Muslim immigrants made by a central bank member, some Muslims criticized the center-right chancellor and the media said she was taking a risk by honoring a man whom many Muslims believe insulted their faith.
Aiman Mazyek of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany said in a statement: "Merkel is honoring the cartoonist who in our view trampled on our Prophet and trampled on all Muslims."

1939 Batman Detective Comics No. 27 sells for record $1 million at auction
I always liked Batman Better !
the Washington Post
Well, that record didn't last long.
Just three days after a Superman book became the first comic to sell for $1 million, a Batman comic book sold Thursday at auction for about $75,000 more.
Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas reports that a rare copy of Detective Comics No. 27 from 1939 -- in which "The Batman" made his debut -- sold for a record-setting $1,075,500.
The consignor and the buyer -- who purchased the comic online via a "click bid" -- chose to shield their identities (how apropos). And holy deja vu, Batman: Like the Superman comic that sold Monday in New York, the Caped Crusader comic is graded to be in "8.0" condition on the industry's 10-point scale.
"It really has an amazing appearance," says Lon Allen, sales director for Heritage's comic books division. "The bright yellows with Batman swooping in -- you can really tell it was stored properly from the beginning."
There are only between 100 and 200 copies of Detective Comics No. 27 in existence, Allen says, and perhaps none in such "very fine" condition. In 1939, the comic sold for 10 cents; the consignor bought the book in the '60s for $100.

Superman debut gets big red '$'
what a way to turn 150,000 into one Million .
The New York post
Man of Steel? Try Man of Platinum!
A rare copy of a comic featuring the first appearance of Superman sold yesterday for $1 million, the highest price ever paid for a comic book.
The well-preserved copy of "Action Comics" No. 1 was bought by a private seller from a private buyer, auction site ComicConnect.com reported.
The seller bought the 1938 comic for $150,000 and had owned it for about 15 years, and the buyer was a collector who owns a lesser-grade copy of the comic, said ComicConnect's Stephen Fishler.
There are only about 100 copies in existence, and the one sold yesterday is one of the two highest-graded.
The $1 million figure was more than double the previous high price paid for a comic book -- $400,000 for a lower-grade copy of "Action Comics" No. 1.
