In the Extended cut, there is a monologue scene involving the Daily Show, who talks about Superman not acting as an American hero anymore and intervening in various international situations (as depicted earlier in the film). The commentator then jokes about him not wearing the Declaration of Independence as his Cape is too on-the-nose as a symbol of his adopted homeland. The character of Homelander from the Amazon superhero series known as The Boys, who is clearly modeled after Superman, has for a cape an American flag. Despite being modeled appearance-wise on Superman being an all-American Hero (and the slight resemblance between actors Henry Cavill and Antony Starr) and having the presumably same powers, Superman and Homelander's similarities end there. Homelander is clearly a murderous psychopath, while Superman is a good man. Homelander is also an American citizen as he was created in a laboratory while Superman was born on Krypton and sent to Earth.
