I do not know if that's what I have thought security adviser in the White House after learning of the decision of the superhero, but more recent history of the popular DC character has drawn criticism and controversy.
has always been assumed that Superman represents one way or another to American culture, not only by the colors of his suit, but because of his well-known slogan of fighting for "truth, justice and the American way of life" .
In fact, on many occasions throughout its history, is precisely what we have reflected, as when Superboy sold war bonds to finance the fight against the Nazis, on the occasions he was seen fighting the forces Axis, or, as when I was helping to overthrow the president of Qurac (seen along several books between 1987 and 1991, eventually led to the dictator to the U.S. to be tried by American courts, in Superman # 53 March 1991, by Jerry Ordway and Dennis Janke). Even
, on occasion, called him a true American, being born on U.S. soil, as suggested John Byrne, who to renew Superman after the Crisis on Infinite Earths told us how the ship that brought Kal-El to Earth, did not bring a child, but an embryo and the child was born just to land, hence that the ship is gave the name "array camera," and which played the role of the womb (as opposed to the classic version where he was a baby of months). This fact was reinforced in the saga Armageddon 2001 when Waverider, which sought in 1991 for a hero who would become the tyrant Monarch a few years later, he dives into one of the possible future of the man of steel and are rushing to the campaign for the U.S. presidency and win it, after it was scientifically demonstrated that despite being of extraterrestrial origin, Superman was born at the exact moment when his ship landed (Action Comics Annual # 3, "Executive Action" by Roger Stern and Tom Grummett).
However, much water has passed under the bridge since then and in a globalized world may no longer be justified that a hero representing one nation. Thus, in Action Comics # 900, by David S. Goyer and Miguel Sepulveda), a number that has sparked much criticism, Superman surprised Security Adviser in the White House to tell him will address the United Nations "report that I renounce my U.S. citizenship. I'm tired of my actions are interpreted as instruments of U.S. policy. " 
This occurs after the Man of Steel participate in a peaceful demonstration in Tehran against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an action that was taken by the Iranian government as a U.S. act of war. "I stayed 24 hours in the Azadi Square. I did not move or speak. I just stood there. " Superman had taken the decision to learn that peaceful protest would be severely repressed by army, wanted to let you know what the protesters "were not alone."
Superman's presence generated reactions on one hand, he threw Molotov cocktails, as well as insults and threats, on the other, demonstrators cheered and you get roses. Fearing an adverse reaction to the demonstrators, the Iranian government gave the order to shoot Superman, but until the protest ends.
The Iranian government calls the hero's presence as an act of war and that it works under the orders of the U.S. government. Therefore, Superman makes the decision to give up U.S. citizenship.
This situation has generated much criticism in blogs and internet forums, but the DC editorial has been advanced to say that history is in no way a criticism of U.S. government and that Superman is as American as apple pie, baseball and rural life .
The comic was made by David S. Goyer, screenwriter of the last two installments of Batman directed by Christopher Nolan and will also wrote the libretto for the new Superman movie, directed by Zack Snyder, and Miguel Sepulveda, English artist.
