I'm fine with that. I used to be against it, that is until I saw Michael Clarke Duncan play the Kingpin in the Daredevil movie. Changed my mind completely. Such a fantastic portrayal of him.

So instead of a farm is he going to be living in the hood of a city? Maybe have a few lines about helping inner-city Metropolis? It could also have a scene like in Black Panther and hell show up at a basketball court.

??? Because it's not about Superman, it's about Clark Kent? I mean everyone in Smallville believed that John and Martha were his biological parents, including Clark himself until his dad showed him the space pod he arrived in. What are they gonna do then, say they just randomly adopted this kid?

A black Superman is too easy. What we need is an Asian Superman. True. But why not go full woke, instead of this lame half-measure? You want to subvert expectations? Cast Michael B.

Jesus - He's been portrayed as a white guy forever because ya know, racism. A bunch of rich Europeans hundreds of years ago weren't going to fill their churches and paintings with a brown, Middle Eastern Jew. Ill perhaps naively give them the benefit of the doubt and say it wasnt racism but rather that they just wanted God to look like they did, or assumed that He did.

It's become one of those words people seem to throw around without understanding what it actually means.If their intent for changing Clark Kent's skin color by having him portrayed by another non-white actor as a means to appeal directly to a specific demographic just by doing that and nothing else to character I would say that is the definition of pandering. But then as others have mentioned there is a black Superman within DC that isn't Clark Kent.
