Why does there need to be black Superman?

Why must everything be redone and redefined?

Why not create a new character?

Same goes for movie remakes - i.e. the awful Ghost Buster girls version.

They did. Cyborg. The character has always been black. He already showed up in a Justice League movie alongside white Superman.

They are already producing a backstory movie just about Cyborg.

Not sure how they're going to explain negro Superman suddenly showing up in the next Justice League move.

Hollywood has no original thinkers. Everything is a rehash of the old except with changed genders or races to rewrite the narrative. The consequence is that I have purchased few movies in the last 20 years. I purchased a copy of Equalizer 2 on the merits of my appreciation for Denzel Washington's other movies. I liked it enough to purchase the first one. Dwayne Johnson, Liam Neeson and Gerard Butler have earned purchases for the same reason.

Bigger question: why would Superman, a member of an alien race, look even remotely like an earth human?
