The Character of Superman is an Alien so this really isn’t a big deal to me, but why does any care what the director looks like? Why is that important?
Even though it's a joke, I hope they do this.
Obama is a real person .. superman is an Alien and a comic book character lol
Does that change anything? They had Yul Brenner play the King of Siam. Shit happens.
Yup. Don't know why people upset about black superman who isn't a real person lol.
You're so right.
If idiot writers want to shamelessly capitalize on optics are going to do it for cash, then NO should complain or everyone should object. There are so many great options. For example, I hope there is a white black panther soon. And a black Jew playing Hitler. And I think their ought to be a pitch perfect speaker who is male cast as Helen Keller. I think B.B. King should be played by an oppressed white millionaire. Also, I think it'd be fun to have a historical fiction where a Japanese person plays a white person who is rounding up Arabs who are playing Japanese people and sending them to interment camps in Nazi Germany that is set in Bolivia during the Medieval Period (except that there was no Medieval Period in Bolivia). The most important thing is that we diminish the source or original truth so much that it doesn't matter and then soon, in time, it won't exist at all. We could even have a hockey movie where they drive around in circles racing one another in cars and not playing hockey. I'm actually looking forward to everything rememberes being demolished and anything that you or me or anyone else holds as a memory will be deleted. Thanks for agreeing with me. It's refreshing.
BlackmanWhats next Black Batman?
Let's be honest, most superheroes were act d by whites in hollywood for yearsssssssss . They would get the roles over all minorities.
Can they finally get to act in the same roles? Only people I've seen get upset about it were caucasians.
And I'm half white myself.
They should do a Martin Luther king movie and have Mathew McConaughey play him. ImoBlackman
Every culture around the world has its own unique stories wnd characters. I wouldn't dare insist that a Chinese person play Shaka Zulu, or that an African play Mao Zedong. And if I admit I'm zero white that won't change your mind, so the point isn't about colour, is it? The point is about the material. There are so many opportunities in this current post modern age for people to exert their own image that represents their own background and perspective, and, in turn, to offer something unique and special to the world. Plenty of room for originality. You think their aren't enough stories or experiences that speak to the material out there? There are. But it's easier to pave over the familiar. Making someone wear someone else's clothes is just cheap writing.
