So pride in country is part of why they were made, so when they make a movie based on comic book characters from other countries, you can say "and the [insert country name here] way" all you want. But until then, I'm perfectly fine with them saying the American way. If you don't like it, don't watch it, it's not too difficult. Don't worry Kane, I'm not on adam's side, but that's just my view about the whole American thing.

I'm a dog with a bone. My point was simply this: The ideal of "freedom" is now so global that to specifically call it "American" just comes off a little cheesy - not to mention condescending - and clinging to it selfishly like some child with a cowboy doll undermines the mass influence the ideal of democracy was intended to have. I wasn't taking anything away from America by saying that; on the contrary. I think it shows a great deal of social evolution for the entertainment industry to offer that tip of the hat to old cliches while still looking forward and amending them to fit the world as it is today. Yes, it gets a little silly at times. Yes, it would suck if Captain America was suddenly "Captain Freedom" or "Captain UN". But changing the line in Superman Returns or cutting 'America' in the title of Justice League does nothing to diminish those properties. It just makes them fresh. If suggesting that what was once "American" is now global and that "freedom" isn't an ideal to be "claimed" by one nation is lame, so be it... I’d much rather you have shared your theory on what you thought I’d said and why it was justified to get on the defensive about what “America” stands for…

You didn't piss me off. You made me sigh a little, roll my eyes and smirk... but you didn't piss me off. And of course you think you understood my point. Don't we all think that of how we initially interpret something? Sorry… you misunderstood again. You didn’t piss me off.

Last time I checked we (the USA) were the only country to grant its people rights that enable our freedoms. So until "patriot act No 4. Strips us of our rights we still have that going for US. ^ Ya know our military uses Australia for black ops and Submarine communications... ^ O well, I love "Men at Work" (the 80's group). Kane, in both case”s Superman/JLA the American way stands for “Freedom”…

Even in a world of totally compatible politics and free of war, the concepts of "American", "British", "Japanese" or - in my case - "Australian"... whatever... just don't mean that much in my opinion and aren't worth worrying about. They're usually stupid, outdated cliches anyway... and, seriously, the change to "truth, justice and the American way" in Superman Returns just came off as a cute tip of the hat to an otherwise cheesy slogan. Rather than not putting it in at all, they just turned it on its head a bit. Heck, I'm still gonna love "Mexican" food if they start calling it "Corn Chips and Beef" - it just doesn't sound as punchy. Good or bad rep, I honestly don’t think in those terms.

We can thank bush for our current worldwide rep... Hey world, were getting rid of him as fast as possible... ^ Anyway.... These pictures do look awesome. The one with Norton looks like he's a little scrawney in the upper body. Guy needs to do some pushups or something to get rid of those manboobs. I'm sure he will look good in green but wow what an unflattering shot. ^ Every single shot I see of Stark just gets better and better. Comedy, I don't think so. I'm sure Stark has some dry one-liners but I wouldn't expect much more. ^ Hey Vic it sure would be great if you could post the release dates under the main title for all films that are coming out. Good points Kane and Shane.

Marvel looks like they have got their act together. To bad the Avengers movie will crush the JL movie in all comparisons. Does anyone agree that William Hurt looks perfect as General Ross?

Are they doing it because it is more appealing or because they are trying to dis-associate them from being from America? With all the anti-American sentiment these days, I am a little touchy about that kind of thing. Just like removing "and the American way" from the Superman movie. It is almost like they are ashamed to associate with being American. It would be like taking away any reference to Bond being from Britain because they don't want to offend anyone. Screw that, Bond is British and should be, much like Superman (a Kryptonian) is from Kansas and stands for truth, justice, and the American way. Just my two cents.

I get that... but, then, they never called a Batman film 'Detective Comics'. ;o) To be honest, calling it 'Justice League' is probably the only positive thing I've heard about this film.

(I'm honestly curious) ...but did US fans have an issue with the animated series being called 'Justice League'? Or, for that matter... does anyone have a problem with me saying 'US' just now, rather than 'USA'? To me, calling the film 'Justice League' makes perfect sense. It's far punchier for a film and doesn't sound like some dorky, dated '60s property. Besides... the team features a Kryptonian, a Martian, an Atlantian, an Amazonian... their base is on the Moon these days... and I seriously doubt they'd stop fighting a super-villain when they cross the Canadian border.
