But all we can do right now about this Black Superman movie is guess. We don’t know who the Black Superman will be. By keeping his “identity” unknown, as Abrams coyly did with Khan, we cannot yet have a healthy conversation about race and the still-dominant superhero media.
I would love to see a Black Clark Kent. By changing the skin of Clark, who for so long has been an avatar for humility, kindness, and truth-seeking as an idealistic reporter, our baked-in notions about what those attributes look like would be challenged. We might reconsider what it means to let the best of us represent the rest of us.
Just call it Bizzaro Superman...it’s already in the DC/Superman universe. Problem solved. Fans will love it then.
Baby Superman’s ship landed in Harlem ?
Nobody cares if Superman is black or white.
Let me guess, the new Superman will also have the hots for Louis Lane.
It will totally fail because they will write a super woke script and make everything about Superman being oppressed as a child and other stuff which will turn off most viewers.
But it will receive an Academy Award.
Idris Elba already claimed that title
You forgot to capitalize Black. Get with it man!
I’d have as little interest in a black Superman as I would have in a white Michael Jordan.
Instead of ruining good classics, why not creat a new one…. Super Roach that saves kids from black violence, steps in to smash urban terrorist attacks by Antifa and BLM, or stops bombings of police stations by BLM and Antifa terrorists, or saves little girls from violent black teenagers?
Superman with poor impulse control? Doesn’t sound good.
Nope...sorry...neither black *nor* white warrant capital letters.
That was my point.
Ya , they’re just colors
Do we get a White Panther movie now?
I’ve got nothing against a black superman or James Bond - they’ve had a black bond girl (Halle Barry) who pulled off the bikini scene with aplomb
The question is - are they going to turn it into a leftist, woke screed?
Cultural appropriation
Black Superman
BS ?
Nothings new. Anyone remember “The Wiz,” the 1970s remake of the Wizard of Oz?
