He then specifically hit out at Superman’s new motto, which has been changed from ‘Truth, Justice and the American Way’ to ‘Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow’. 

During the DC FanDome event, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee announced the new mission statement of Superhero, who famously fought for 'Truth, Justice and the American Way.' Sticking with the truth and justice, the new motto of Man of Steel is all about ''Truth, Justice, and A Better Tomorrow''.

''What really p*ssed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world,'' he added. ''F**k that it was Truth, Justice, and the American way. My Grandpa almost died in World War II; we don't have a right to destroy sh*t that people died for to give us. It's a bunch of f**king nonsense.''

''They call us bigots and racist and s***, I would ask them, find me in the f***ing mainstream, not on the fringes, one f***ing book, one f***Ing t-shirt, one movie that says leftism is bad and conservatism is good, find it for me, they f***ing won’t, they’re not letting people have a voice, they’re the f***ing bigots. Sorry, that’s been bottled up for five years," he added.
