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.
Hollywood does what the Chinese Communist Party tells them to do
Jimmy Olsen.......................
I doubt the movie will see the light of day. Abrams is awful and he already killed Star Trek and Star Wars. Not even black people want to see a black Superman.
They should keep Henry cavil I thought he was a fine Superman even if the movies were pretty crummy.
And Jimmy will be non-binary...
Movies centered around black actors tend to have an ‘in your face’ attitude about belittling whites on screen. Will Smith, in one got great joy out of making a white person hold his food (or you will be wearin’ it) while he chased some one. Cuba Gooding, in one flick, finds out his father is white and he looks like he is going to vomit.
Instant gratification but in the long run, it makes for a cheap movie.
Black Superman is just perfect. Superman is already overpowered, making him the least interesting superhero. He cannot fail. Black protagonists cannot fail. Match made in Heaven. Black Supergendernonbinaryotherkind will be even better.
There were a couple of black Bond Girls before Halle Berry.
It will just be another black man reading a white man’s script
Why copy white characters?
That’s would be what I would call plagiarism and the worst kind since it would be a character based on a white privileged character.
I’m waiting for black Popeye movie. Instead of spinach, he’s hitting up Popeye’s for fried chicken specials to build muscle mass.

Can he beat Mary Sue?
Politicians will say it’s great, best thing since sliced black bread
Nope....Cardi B or Beyonce.
JORDAN not JACKSON.
I thought it said jackson when I first read it too. LOL.
Black Panther
Louis instead of Lois Lane. Hey, let’s make it even more current! Luis Lane, a dreamer from Nicaragua!
