"Superman's official motto has been changed after more than 80 years"
Well, not exactly... more like seven months. The most recent time was earlier this year:

"Truth and Justice" - Max Fleisher cartoons
"Truth, Justice and the American Way" - Radio and television show.

This seems as good of a place as any to post a link to Amber Ruffin's take on the new Superman coming out.
I meant "coming out as bi", not a new Superman movie.

Loved that Ruffin video, and I really like that new slogan, too.

"Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow" works for me, as does the Ruffin video.
