Superman would have discovered the truth about his powers at 5 years old, when police shot at him in front of Jon and Martha Kent’s farm for being “in the wrong part of town”. But it must be remembered that superman landed during WW I in the mid 19teens. He went to work at the Planet in 1940. So that would make him 25 to 30 years old when he entered the world society. And the 1940’s was the start of the civil rights movement.
His adoptive parents would have instilled in him all the same values of love, compassion, mercy, and servitude that we associate with Clark Kent today, only this Clark Kent would have had to reconcile those values with the systemic racism he experiences and sees others go through as he gets older. (Whether it exists or not)
Why should he concern himself with the concerns of a society that hates people that look like him? Why not pummel Nazis at Charlottesville instead? Who needs Lex Luthor when you have our federal government hounding him for his birth certificate and calling him an alien and having half (maybe more) of the nation agreeing with him? He could fix it all if he wanted to, make them all pay so easily.
But, at the end of the day, no matter what color he is, he is still the son of Jonathan and Martha Kent, and that’s what makes him a hero. In time, perhaps the rest of the world will see it, too…if they can get past their own BS of the destruction of our society using fantasy.

Yep. I still think that someone was drunk or bribed heavily for her to be a Bond Girl - she is NOT easy on the eyes. On the other hand, Gloria Hendry was much more attractive than Grace Jones.
J.J. ABRAMS ruins anything he is involved with.
His cape is bright pink and his costume is rainbow striped
I was going to say lens flare but what ever. . . . . .
Hell, when a Semitic (true Middle Eastern) woman plays a true Middle Eastern (Egyptian) queen of Greek-Semitic ancestry, the “blacks” get jealous and racially angry that a Nubian was not selected!
And he aborts babies with a touch of his hand whether the woman wants it or not. But in the end she always wants it.
Thread winner. Congratulations. Pick up your kewpie doll at the front desk.
In a rehash of The Terminator that came out a few years ago, the evil T-1000 Shapeshifting Policeman was Asian.
Don’t think any Black guys attacked him though.
They will have to change his boss’ name.
Tom Clancy’s guy on the new Streaming Movie is now black. It was a good movie but why that had to be done is a bit of a puzzle.
