SUPERMAN JOINS COMMUNIST PARTY, POSES FOR PROPAGANDA POSTER
January 16, 2002, METROPOLIS - Expressing his disillusionment with consumer capitalism, the Man of Steel stirred up a whirlwind of controversy this week when he revealed to the world that he is now a card-carrying communist. The unexpected announcement was timed to coincide with the release of a Communist Party USA propaganda poster featuring a portrait of his new costume.
The Bush Administration is reportedly in shock. Replacing his old motto "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" with the communist slogan "Peace, Land, and Bread" has also gotten the Last Son of Krypton blackballed by some of his superfriends.
"Clark is always behind the times," said Batman, a former teammate of Superman's in the recently disbanded Justice League. "Communism is so 20th Century. Man of Tomorrow my ass." The Dark Knight did admit to being relieved that Superman is no longer a tool of the Establishment, however. "It was such a hassle to have to stockpile kryptonite every time I struck a blow against the government. Now I can focus on other aspects of strategy."
Since the superheroes who once comprised the Justice League joined the anarchist vigilante Batman when he formed the SHAFT resistance cell DK2, Superman is now recruiting members for a new team of metahuman heroes, the Supercomrades, to be headquartered at the fabled Hall of Socialism.
