In a fortnight marked for American citizens by hysterical celebration and patriotic chest-beating at the demise of their arch-nemesis, it may come as a blow that their favourite superhero – once described loosely by Russell Brand as a ‘big-jawed representation of American values’ – is renouncing his American citizenship.
He is reported to have said, “I’m tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy. ‘Truth, justice, and the American way’ - it’s not enough anymore.” Many are shocked by this announcement, speculating incredulously on whether Superman must choose another nationality, or if he is exempt from Earthly laws and may remain stateless. Others fear for his alter-ego, Clark Kent; will he ever be able to work as a journalist again? Some are more cynical, as this commenter put it : “I bet he’s just doing it for tax reasons.”
