By cRrusheR Go To PostI’m excited for a black Superman, but a black Clark Kent? Can we not? Is this wrong to say and am I being a douche?
Why does it matter whether Clark is white or not? What’s distinctly white about his background or story, other than the fact his adopted parents are born and bred farmer folk, which doesn’t preclude him from being non-white?
There are a lot of country black folk stories you could tell. Probably more interesting than kid from Kansas that had it pretty good all his life.

Tom and Jerry got the second biggest us opening weekend in the US since the pandemic started with 13.7M.
I couldn't watch 5 minutes before switching it off and deleting it. Absolutely atrocious.
Black or white, Superman will remain trash
If anything I want a black James Bond. That will get me back to like the franchise again. Sick of this emo faux- masculine Daniel Craig character

Was upset with Peter Parker having blue eyes in the Sam Raimi movies. I would prefer if they went the Miles Morales route and don’t understand the need to force Clark Kent that’s all.
Blade doesn’t need to be black either and I would be upset if they changed that. Even though it’s a bit different there.
Still I won’t be that bothered or anything, just talking.
By data Go To Postwhat if they made punisher blackHe'd go from vigilante to public threat, and skull t-shirt sales would plummet.
superman can be whatever they want him to be, my problem is that instead of writting a new character with new ideas they just go the laziest way possible of "let's do the same but now it's a different race/gender/sexuality, aren't we inclusive"

yeah im sure thats why black panther did like a billion at the box office, think it even did better than any movie with Superman the last decade

lol fucking hell m8
Anyway I’m all for it. Nothing about Superman’s character is inherently white. I don’t see the point of changing Bond to a woman because he’s a chauvinist pig and that’s so fundamental to his character but being Black wouldn’t change too much (although maybe you could have something interesting about his access to places etc - Tenet had a few pointed comments early on re: JDW’s character which I thought was pretty good).
Would be great if everyone on Krypton was black and we got to see Martha and Jonathon Kent try to convince that this black kid is their biological son.
By data Go To Postwhat if they made punisher blackThey already did. He had an operation that turned him black for a while.
By Xpike Go To Postnow batman can't be black, gordon would shoot him on sightPeople will get mad about Superman for like a week
but this is the real play to get people riled up. Make him or Joker black.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThey already did. He had an operation that turned him black for a while.Wait what? lol
By Lunatic Go To PostWait what? lol
By n8 dogg Go To PostWhy does it matter whether Clark is white or not? What’s distinctly white about his background or story, other than the fact his adopted parents are born and bred farmer folk, which doesn’t preclude him from being non-white?Clark Kent is the son of two mid-west farm owners.
He's white af
By data Go To Postwhat if they made punisher black
Would be cool with that, even makes sense. And like Superman, the name Punisher comes from the symbol and the acts. Wouldn’t want him to be named Frank Castle though.
That said I really wanted Marshala Ali to be Joel. Maybe because it’s such a recent character... heh guess it’s just how much affinity I have with the image of a character.
You can't make Clark Kent black and raised in rural America. The outcome would be completely different similar to Red Son. If you wanna take a "black Superman" route you have to do more than just a skin colour swap.

He's white af
He’s actually the son of made up aliens from a made up planet. learn the lore m7
By cRrusheR Go To PostHas Michael B Jordan ever been in a role without his goatee?Chronicle.
By n8 dogg Go To PostHe’s actually the son of made up aliens from a made up planet. learn the lore m7No that's superman
By sy Go To PostNo that's superman
Exactly.
By n8 dogg Go To Postah yes i forgot when he took his glasses off he becomes a new person
sy is lois lane
By Lunatic Go To PostCan't believe he wrote about himself
sy is lois lane
Think in the Superman and Lois tv show his own kids don’t recognize him. It’s the whole ugly before she takes off her glasses and loosens her hair and suddenly she’s a super model.
By Lunatic Go To PostNow imagine him taking off he glasses and revealing that he's black
sy is lois lane
By sy Go To PostNow imagine him taking off he glasses and revealing that he's blackRather he be Mexican.
By n8 dogg Go To Postlol fucking hell m8
You joke but they went and put blue contacts on Brandon Routh for Superman. Made sense to me. I get it, I’m the problem.
By Xpike Go To Postyeah im sure thats why black panther did like a billion at the box office, think it even did better than any movie with Superman the last decadeOkay but what other notable black superhero is there?
Id be more than happy to be wrong but
Also it’s Marvel. They made a billion with captain marvel who is probably one of the worst superheroes
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostYou mean the guy Disney wasn’t even confident could generate money in a movie?
They made two fuckin movies based on Ant-Man and didn’t even think Blade would generate money like that.
Venom did well.
Spawn and Blade would kill. 90s nostalgia is big right now and nothings more 90s than those movies in terms of hero movies. well except maybe The Crow

This is unrelated to the black superhero discussion, but I was thinking the other day, and hear me out please, if Marvel decided Peter Parker got polio and spent the movie swinging around in a wheelchair, would it be ok to criticise them with the argument that they made a movie that is worse than it might have been otherwise?
Like if you argued that they had to construct the movie in a way that accounted for the fact that he was in a wheelchair, and therefore some of the scenes and maybe the story weren't what you were looking for from a Spiderman film, would that be ok?
I see what Bungie is saying.
Like what if Peter was on the spectrum and he spent his days cooking books for crime organizations and spent his breaks in a dark room listening to trash metal while rolling a baseball bat on his leg chins, really hard, and then by night he went around killing criminals? That would be a Batman movie and nobody pays to see that.
