“People from all over America—from all over the world—who went to the city to live the lives they wanted, to be the people they wanted to be. That’s the idea America was founded on. But it’s not just for people born here. It’s for everyone. And it’s for people like me. . .” (Superman 711). “‘Truth, justice, and the American way’—it’s not enough anymore. The world’s too small. Too connected” (Action Comics 900).
