How about if we actually want more African American representation in media we actually create original characters for them instead of lazily changing skin tones of an established character and call it a day?

I think DC needs to stop doing Superman and Batman all the time. Martian Manhunter, John Stewart (Green Lantern), Cyborg, Black Lightning, Firestorm, Vixen, or Static which all could be a good choice for a Black superhero.

Marvel also has a Black Superman type character named Blue Marvel who is pretty OP as well.

This will essentially be like the movie 'Joker' was to the DCEU. Sometimes, it's nice to get a break from the usual characters. MCU is doing a similar thing now.

Except it'll be different as I doubt he will be raised in Kansas on a farm. They've already done this in the comics. Only portion that's the same is essentially Krypton. Everything else is vastly different.

As for the movie's plot, Coates is reportedly writing an origin story that will see Kal-El arrive on Earth from Krypton. One idea being considered is that the movie is a "20th century period piece." In addition, the current plan is that the movie will stand alone from other DC films and won't be part of an existing universe.

  • Black Superman is Clark Kent, not Calvin Ellis.
  • The film is a period piece set in the previous century.
  • The film is standalone and not connected to the overall DC film universe.

DC Used to do like one-offs of "this isn't the real canon" all the time way back in the day. A streamlined consistent universe a la MCU was really just a Marvel thing.

Will this Superman actually act like an AYYYYY Alien , instead of a cornfed farmer boi amurikan?
Will he be an antihero commenting on mental health issues, and TRIGGER journalists into panicking about "incels" shooting up cinemas?

It would be far better to have it as part of a linking continuity -- even if there's a time skip. It worked fine for Captain America.

DC's problem is that they didn't catch on that you have to do a standalone movie before you can tie it into a bunch of other franchises. Universal made the same mistake with The Mummy.

If Marvel and Godzilla can do linking universes, surely WB could with a little patience and the right people.

Well considering there IS a black Superman in the comics the only people being racist are those pretending its not already a thing.

Let's be honest here, DC wasn't really interested in Superman before.

They basically have no plans for superheroes who can't easily be made dark and edgy. Wonder Woman allowed them to be seen promoting a female character to prominence. Everything else is Batman, Harley Quinn, and Suicide Squad.

If this means giving Superman to someone who wants to do a Superman story, instead of someone who wants him to wear a black cape and crash through buildings, I welcome it.

I'm bummed out that Michael B. Jordan won't be the black Superman. But I approve of more Joker-esque oneshot prestige superhero movies.

If you want whatever Zack Snyder is serving up, give him a miniseries to continue his universe or keep a "main" universe that's built off of Snyder's other movies. Whatever. But they should absolutely explore more standalone stories in the vein of Joker, and given that the director has a passion and a clear vision for the project, I'm 100% on board with them exploring concepts like a black Superman.

It's not superseding the main universe, it's a standalone movie with no bearing on the canon of the characters - just like Joker was. I think it's a great idea if it's done right, and I don't see how this can be seen as anything but a positive. It's literally more superhero stuff on top of what you're already getting - what's the complaint?
