Maybe I can get my job back, that alien bastard.
It is hard to stand for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" when no one else in America does.
The more I think about this, the weirder it seems. Does Clark Kent have a separate citizenship status from Superman? Does that mean Superman went through naturalization and got a SSN, etc.? Is Superman going to still hang around the US a lot, since Kent works in Metropolis still, and essentially rescue people on a green card? 
Son, you be overthinking this.The more I think about this, the weirder it seems. Does Clark Kent have a separate citizenship status from Superman?

Sir, are you suggesting that Superman comics are mindless entertainment and that their apparent messages are merely superficial and not well thought-out? Oops, I'm still thinking about it. Damn it.

Eh, he'll go back after four episodes.
And then he'll... ADOPT A BABY/CHANGE SEX/DIE/BECOME ULTRA-JESUS/PUNCH HITLER/YOUR SHOCKING EVENT HERE!

The writers are underthinking it.

How? I know you could get Krytonite in every 7-11 store (my friend personal joke since practically every villain has access to it one form or another)
I think it's just a showy thing for him to do, but considering the story as presented in the article, it makes sense.
Clark Kent should still be a citizen--no one knows he's Superman.

It looks a lot more like "Hey! Lets get Superman in the news and sell some more comics!"
Which is fine but still... meh. He's always acted globally, not much will change.
Meh. I give it a year.

Give what a year? I think this was a good move too. His actions were reflecting against the U.S. when they had nothing to do with his decisions. This was a good move.
I just mean the whole "big news! major character change! nothing will ever be the same again!" stuff. Like, when they had those hundreds of thousands of Kryptonians on Earth? Already gone.

Most likely made an honorary citizen due to special circumstances.
He used his SUPER-FORGING powers to make a Certificate of Live Birth. Which is not the same thing as a Birth Certificate.
Honestly, especially if it lets them write some more interesting stuff, the comic-logic to the idea seems pretty clear. Superman considering the implications of his intervention tends to be more interesting then him saving the day from giant robots again (that said, his walk-about was just stupid).
Become Canadian?

Now that's just silly talk, missy.
I can understand Clark Kent having a birth certificate because he had to blend in, big thanks to Ma and Pa Kent. But why would Superman need citizenship? Who would even ask? It's a secret identity. Like Batman. Who has asked Batman to prove citizenship? I think it's assumed that Superman helps whoever is in need. Why would America claim him solely as their own?
An alien superhero renouncing "citizenship" in a country so he can feel justified in acting global? That's fine.
Anything related to Canada? Now that's just silly.

Might want to read my post a couple up there.
Listen, let's not say things that just aren't true.
