Want to see if they could racial swap an iconic character and see what people would think of it? Seems like something JJ Abrams would do like revamping the Star Trek timeline or having Krypton not explode in his Superman Flyby script, who knows, maybe they're doing it as a publicity stir which seems to be the motivation most of the time with racial swapping.
Feels like something being done that is pointless.

This could be an interesting direction if we already had a full series with the Cavill incarnation. Except we really don't. It'd be like if they immediately replace Steve Rogers with Sam Wilson as Captain America after the first Avengers movie.
Now it just looks like they're trying to ride the coattails off of Black Panther because that was a big hit. Which it was but even now that franchise is in uncharted waters because Chadwick Boseman died.
It's ok if it's a completely separate character but just taking Superman and redoing him as a minority absolutely no point to that, when you have a character as iconic as Superman your out of your rocker thinking your gonna racial swap him.
shareSuperman has been established as a Kryptonian who appears to be a human Caucasian for more than eight decades. Why not just create a new black superhero with his or her own story? A black Superman will not appeal to most fans, although most will not admit for fear of woke wrath. It will tank like the recent woke Superman comics.
shareMaking Superman black is pointless, why not create you own character as you said? it's appealing to tokenism and it's a gimmick, it's like doing an all black production of Hamlet or a gay production of Romeo & Juliet or Three Women & A Baby it really doesn't matter it's the quality that matters.
