So they made the bad guy black?

Superman: The Animated Series did it first.

Yeah, but he's clean and smart.

Warner Bros keeping the stereotype alive. Time to cancel them.

Hell, why not just make Superman black?

He’s actually Greek; inspired by Telly Savalas

Why does the criminal always have to be black?

Gods And Monsters already made Superman a kid of illegal immigrants as opposed to two white farmers in the Midwest.

It’s the Hollywood playbook now. Just take an established character and change the race, gender, or sexual orientation. I don’t mind that as long as the straight white man be on the receiving end of it every now and then. So a white dude as Blade or Storm would do.

Looks like you fricked up

Some of these established comic characters are so old they have been rebooted/retconned by almost every scenario. Luther was probably a minority in one of the various Superman comic reboots

Well they've never been able to cast a white actor to do a decent version of him. Maybe a black guy will be able to.

Inb4 some moron says Hackman’s comedic interpretation sucks. Hackman rocks that role.

I'm sure he'll end up the good guy and super man will end up a white supremacist.
