There is but there's much more shyt I'd rather see if we doing Black heroes
This is unnecessary

Only Black Superman is a c00n Superman

"Why don't you stop the police brutality:usure:?"

"Not my place":hubie::manny::mjpls:

It'll fit right in with Black Panther then.

Give the kids a museum and some tech lessons. Instead of actually freeing them from the projects and white supremacy.

Oh - it's actually happening?:ohhh: Aight - cool, I guess. :ld:

As far as DC Black superheroes I'd much rather see a movie based of that new Static book with the Nikolas Draper Ivey art. Give the role to a young actor and let him grow with the franchise and audience :manny:

They can do this and not put a signpost on it. If you’re making the movie and the best actor is a black actor, give him the role. Rather than putting bells and whistles on it, thus making him the “black Superman” instead of just “Superman”
Because Superman’s been established as white for 80 years. Any non white actor is going to have a race label in front of his name. So it’s kind of inevitable that there’s going to be bells ands whistles.

You can let the bells and whistles come from the audience. By signpost I mean specifically making it a story about a black Superman rather than making it a Superman story and the guy playing him happens to be black

How would he have done that tho? He wasn't going to create an ark and take thousands of Black people back to Africa.

Kids need drive, motivation and most importantly, opportunities. Giving the children a gateway into tech which could potentially lead them into riches, is leading them out of the projects.

To use Val Zod you'd have to use earth 2. To use earth 2 you'd have to use gay green lantern. Guess the studios didn't want backlash for 2 separate issues :skip:

Funny you mention that. in the THR article this article sourced, the studio is definitely putting a gay GL in the GL HBO Max show.
