Part 2/9:
Gabe Altaib, a DC Comics artist, announced his resignation via a YouTube livestream, citing his disillusionment with the company's recent changes to iconic characters. Altaib specifically condemned the alteration of Superman's classic motto, "truth, justice, and the American way," which he described as a core element of his identity and professional pride.
He expressed frustration over the deliberate infusion of activism and progressive messaging into beloved characters, perceiving it as a betrayal of their original essence. Altaib highlighted the rebranding of Superman's motto as "truth, justice, and a better world," a shift that he believes dilutes the hero's traditional American values and disrespects the sacrifices made by previous generations, notably those who fought in World War II.
