Time for a black Superman


Seriously

reply

What about a black non binary Superman?

reply

Wouldn't that be Superthey?

reply

Or Superthem?

reply

Or SuperIt?

reply

Doesn’t ‘super’ imply non-inclusivity?

reply

Yes. But that's ok when it comes to non-whites. Whites are supposed to be inferior therefore it's ok to use the title "Super" when it involves POC.

reply

Played by Laverne Cox.

reply

Considering he's from another planet, skin colour isn't really an issue. But why specifically black? Is there a certain actor you picture as Clark?

reply

Chance Perdomo

reply

I'm not familiar with Chance, hope he's in the running if your wish comes true. Definitely don't put my vote down for Jaden, I don't think he's Superman material.

reply

Will Smith is the obvious candidate.

reply

Too old

reply

Jaden then

reply

What about Jada?

reply

You may have struck gold with Jada, but maybe not in the way you think.

Consider: Jada as Lex Luthor! Like Lex of old, she's bald. And like Lex of old, she'll have a simpering dim witted sidekick. Hey presto, a perfect part for Will! He can slap those who displease his domineering master, and she'll repay him by publicly humiliating him with side sidekicks.

reply

Comic books are a visual medium. Adapt them properly. I don't want a black Superman any more than I want a blond Superman.

reply

What about black AND blond?

reply

Chris Tucker in Fifth Element comes to mind.

reply

Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man.

reply

That is a great idea!

You must be the MC resident racist.

It's the role Michael B Jordan was born to play.

People can scoff but it's important for young people of colour to group up feeling represented in such roles and that they too can grow up to believing they can achieve anything...

Why don’t they grow up learning to be creative and create their own heroes instead of culturally appropriating characters?

All their taught is that they’re creative abilities suck and they just need to leech off others creative abilities.

1. i watched Ripley in ALien. i didnt need her to be a white male to relate. that sounds like a you issue.

2. stop trying to steal and cultural appropriate my people culture please

reply

...cultural appropriate my people culture please

* culturally appropriate my people's culture please.

reply

reply

Congratulations! You did it!

I'm willfully ignoring the non capitalisations as I suspect (like someone else on here) that is your little attempt to make yourself seem special.

Well done!

A movie I sure as fuck won’t be paying to see.

reply

Apparently, they're still doing the Black Superman & James Gunn is doing a separate younger version of Superman

reply

No. The codpiece would be too distracting.
