re: Next Superman movie

Isn't it pretty easy to just come up with a new character who is like Superman, but black, instead of...this?

This is my beef with the matter. It's incredibly lazy from a creative standpoint and shows that studios want to have their cake and eat it, too.

Executives say they want to correct social wrongs and promote diversity with this move, yet they still want to bank on the weight of the "Superman" name. If they had any balls and wanted to spur change, they'd put out the effort to create a new black superhero and let the chips fall where they may at the box office.
