Just call it Bizzaro Superman...it’s already in the DC/Superman universe. Problem solved. Fans will love it then.

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.

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.

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?

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.

...our baked-in notions about what those attributes look like would be challenged.

If "MN" is short for Minnesota, this is why most of Minnesota is lost. MNDude, nobody cares except the woke. Stay woke my friend. Lol.

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.

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.
