[Herr der Verboten]

So when are we getting a White Panther reboot

 

[saor]

Eh - this doesn't really bother me. fk knows how Kryptonians look. Besides, there's a cyborg incarnation of Superman so who gives a **** if there's a black superman.

Do you even comic? How you think an alien vs. a historical earthly figure is the same thing...I dunno.

You're the one making an issue of it (jeez could your op be more dripping with it), and probably the people who are writing these articles. So you're gonna hard pass based on what some journo chooses to write and focus on?

Lol oh sure vag sonny. Keep on replying 'not making an issue'

You didn't even pause to think that maybe a black Superman might make sense. You just jumped on the bandwagon because some journo chose to make an article out of it.

This race kak is getting tiresome.

Yeah there's a fly in my ointment this morning.

Calvin Ellis.

 

[Barbarian Conan]

Back in my teens I read a superman comic where he was a slave that forged armour or something? I think it was Man of Steel and not superman, although he had the big S on the chest.
You also have Miles Morales as Spiderman.

It's all good, because they put a different spin on a character and it makes it interesting. They didn't just blackwash an existing character in it's entirety.

I hope they don't just have a black baby crash on a black owned farm, and later goes on to work as a reporter. Or worse, in an effort to put a modern spin on it, have him be a "gasp" youtuber/influencer that covers the news.
I doubt they would be that lazy though.

@Nemoneiros

I believe the entire Justice League will now be black, the exception being Aquaman or perhaps not,

In one of the best comic book movies ever.

Not saying how he was raised, but a back story to Earth-23,

Who Is Calvin Ellis, the Superman of Earth-23? | The Mary Sue

Michael B. Jordan addressed the rumors of him playing Superman and said he'd be interested in playing Calvin Ellis. So who exactly is that?

www.themarysue.com

So who is Calvin Ellis? Calvin Ellis first appeared in Final Crisis #7 as an African-American version of Superman who is the President of the United States as President Calvin Ellis (Kalel). Like Clark Kent, he escaped Krypton’s destruction as a baby and was raised by human parents on Earth. He was created by Grant Morrison as an homage to Barack Obama (Obama’s influence in comics will be someone’s academic paper one day, if it isn’t already).

The Earth this happens on is Earth-23, where Black superheroes are the dominant heroes, with Nubia (a character who exists on Earth-1) being the Wonder Woman and the Justice League filled out by The Guardian, Vixen, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Black Lightning, Mister Miracle, and Batman, who is the token white teammate.

Ellis was featured pretty heavily in The Multiversity and is a pretty cool character, abet just an alternate version of Superman.

I don’t think that at this point DC would think to revamp Superman as a non-Clark Kent persona. But after watching Into The Spider-Verse and reading the Ironheart and Naomi comics, I’m really interested in Black superheroes—legacy, alternative or original, who get to lead their own stories and get to be their own people outside of just diversity for good PR’s sake. I enjoy the idea of Riri Williams, but it has been through the Ironheart comics and Eve Ewing’s writing that she has really become a full character.

Frankly, if we are going to introduce into the live-action or animated world alternate versions of Superman (which has been done before), especially non-white variants, I just want it to be done respectfully and with the purpose of telling good stories. Spider-Verse did that for Miles and I’d love for that same effort to be put into another legacy/alt-character.

I don't believe they will base this 'continuity' on Earth-23.

@Nemoneiros

It is not bad, the new Batman is still white, but the next Batman will most certainly be black as DC Comics most recently written Tim Fox in as the new Batman. Aquaman is always likely to remain white, unless Black Manta somehow becomes the new Aquaman.

Cyborg is black and Martian Manhunter have almost always taken up a black body.

 

[Fulcrum29]

This is the coolest 'ethnically' black Superman,

Val-Zod (Earth 2)

Val-Zod is one of the last Kryptonians of his universe and the second to use the mantle of Superman. Becoming the last of his House after his parents' execution by Krypton's court, Val quickly made friends with fellow orphan Kara Zor-El. Moments before Krypton's destruction, Val, Kara, Kal-El...

dc.fandom.com

Val-Zod is one of the last Kryptonians of his universe and the second to use the mantle of Superman.

but I think they are going with the Earth-23 Superman because it is more applicable to their Justice League, and it is already rumoured since 2019 already that it will be Calvin Ellis, however I won't be surprised that they will borrow Val-Zod as his real Kryptonian name.

 

[Dups!]

The fact that JJ Abrams is on board makes me look forward to this.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Aquaman is also destined to go out soon and to be replaced with Aquawoman.

Green Lantern have now long been John Stewart, DC Comics.

Female Flash also incoming, what do you comic nerds think?

It is the premise thereof that is laughable and if you can't pick that up then well I'm sorry. Do I really need to unroll it for you as well? Oh well this might help the idiot below...

• You have a rather good movie with decent story
• Lets reboot it
• But not just a reboot
• You must race swop
• Jesus, you can even sex swop
• Well done, you have race and/or sex swopped it
• Now you must sell it HARD on that
• **** selling it on story
• **** selling it on merit
• Let's all get a hardon and jerk each other off over that
• Fans bying just because
• Goto 10

Ah yes the chashewnuts on the forum... they seem to breed each other into over population. Perhaps its time.

You mean you didn't even think this is more than just face value fandom. Congratulations, I'll shelve you with the other idiots to be ignored on future replies.

I am curious as to how the DCU will keep this in continuance. Surely, they will be writing the Cavill Superman out... A new Superman origin story won't make any sense unless they will make like the MCU and execute the multiverse by enacting Earth-2 as source material.

Personally, I don’t see where a single ‘black’ superman movie would make sense. This must lead up to a new Justice League. What is going to happen to Cavill Superman, start work at Coca-Cola? Jokes aside my best guess is that the Snyder Cut will spell an end to the Cavill Superman, ending 'our' Superman, and then a catastrophic act will realise a new Superman.

The comics have been calling on these changes since 2000, and have doubled-down since 2010, it is to be expected. My concern is not with the ethnicity, but with the continuity in both the MCU and DCU.

Just remember @Nemoneiros , "Once you go black you never go back".

But Aquaman isn’t white right now?
