Why not make a proper John Stewart Green Lantern?

I'm not sure I get the question. Do you mean why don't they make a movie with him or something else?

Yeah. A movie.

But the DCU is a clusterfuck right now anyway.

Seems like It would be a no brainer for DC and comic fans coming off the critical and commercial success of BP.

A ton of content there to build with. Just dont do another origin bullshit story.

Get it in and out in 15 minutes and just send me into space with John Stewart and the GL corp fighting off the Yellow Lanterns.

Agreed. It'd be cool if they brought in Hawkgirl as his love interest, like how she was in the Justice League cartoon... but yeah, DCU is fucked.

You know Supes was always portrayed as a white guy but I don't mind a black actor taking the role. He's an alien and all.

What I can't forgive is black Roland Deschain.

I was fine with that. The book was about alternate realities after all. Doesn't change the fact that the movie sucked big time.

Instead of asking why Superman can't be black, ask yourself why he should be. There's no reason besides pointless diversity with no actual artistic purpose or value.

They want to say "To give black actors better opportunities" like they did in the Ciri topic

But then they realize that it will go to Michael B Jordan and how fucking dumb that sounds.

Calvin Ellis is Kal-L.

Earth 47 got Sunshine Superman.
Earth 2 got Val Zord.
They are all black and their universe version of Superman.

How about this. Maybe you don't run off at the mouth with wild accusations that you can't prove just because you don't like people.

"Hey, Superman is a ni-dong."
"What'd he say?"
"Superman is near!"

But seriously I'm usually against race swapping cause it's just studios doing it to pander. They don't really care about diversity. They care about money. Since Superman is a freaking alien though it's not a big deal to me.

Or we'll say it's because the actor they want to play him happens to be black. So that brings us back to why that's a problem for some?

Because they want Superman to be white like he's been for the majority of mainstream media? I thought that was obvious...

There actually is a reason for Superman to be black. His powers of solar absorption make more sense for him to have melanin/darker skin. That said...nah. Just leave Superman white and make a new black character.
