Honestly why wouldn't DC try black superman? They're already struggling to make him relatable to comic fans. Why not try something different?

Logically speaking, it would be amazing if Clark was even bipedal. He's a fucking alien.
Angel Brown
Blacks are already superior to whites in real life, Superman is a power fantasy.
Oliver Scott
Fuck you OP
Colton Perry
because DC is already horrible at handling Superman and making him black is not going to help.
Jeremiah Collins
Science suggests Superman shouldn't fucking exist

Why would something that gains power from absorbing sunlight be the color best for repelling it?
Jackson Watson
This, are we forgetting that a black version of Supes already exists, and was the highlight of Morrison's Action Comics run while also getting a big part in his Multiversity stuff, too?
Carson Nelson
But... white skin is the one that absorbs sunlight...

Imagine a nigga who made up only 00000.1% of the US population but committed 100% of the crime.

One issue is not a highlight.

They already have.
Twice.
Calvin and Val Zod.
But I don't expect outrage farmers such as yourself to know that since it would require an extra click away from Clark Superman's wikipedia page.
Mason Walker
He already exist, his name is Val Zod and I really like his suit.

Then it darkens when it absorbs it

Isn't Clark an alien?

That's called a tan, not an african

Because Steel exists.
Also every single attempt made to be " inclusive" or "woke" has crashed and burned in every form of entertainment over the last year and a half. The people at the top of these systems aren't smart at all but they do understand what makes money and what doesn't.

Thats dumb, melanin is selected for because it dissipates UV light to protect skin cells. If we're working off that he should be deathly pale.
Besides if we're going off the darker for more absorption of light he'd be jet fucking black like the salamanders from 40k. He's an alien, human skin color has nothing to do with gaining super powers from the sun and everything to do with avoiding cancer and cell damage from UV radiation.
Black superman would be neat but thats stupid reasoning.
Asher Martinez
If we're talking about visible light, it's actually the opposite.

There's already a black Superman you stupid shit. He's on Earth 23, and main DC has Steel.
Christopher Fisher
Would you rather Clark have insanely tan skin so he looks like he's made of leather?

One quick google, and...
>When you get a tan, what is actually happening is that the melanocytes are producing melanin pigment in reaction to ultraviolet light in sunlight. Ultraviolet light stimulates melanin production. The pigment has the effect of absorbing the UV radiation in sunlight, so it protects the cells from UV damage.
Oh wow look at that, they're wrong, since his body wouldn't have evolved to need protection from UV damage since, you know, its what fucking gives him his power and darkening it would REDUCE the amount his body takes in.
Meaning that even if some freak of nature Superman was black, it would be caused by his body reducing the amount of sunlight coming into his skin to protect it, so he'd be the weakest version by far.

Lex Luthor based on Reggie Hudlin could be amazing.
Austin Barnes
Fuck you, faggot. They're both fine characters
Carter Cruz
Nah, more like a succulent roasted chicken hmmmm

Isn't Blue Marvel basically that? I know that isn't DC but it is more or less black superman.
Leo Diaz
Why wouldn't it be? I think it's easily the best issue of the run, many others think that way, too.
Samuel Smith
too bad that much of Superman's mythos is tied to the american midwest/Norman Rockwell iconography, even though being an alien that looks like a white dude is already sketchy.
just make Batman black, stop the batwank for once in the history of the universe and kill Bruce Wayne, let John Irons replace him. wouldn't that be something? going from Steel to Batman, it would be better received than a new character, that's for sure.
Xavier King
Junk science aside, I'm more offended they automatically associate dark skin with black people. They could've drawn a Hawaiian Superman, a Middle Eastern, Indian, Filipino, anything. But no, let's pick the drawing of Superman as a generic black dude.
Andrew Ramirez
>just make Batman black
They're doing that with Luke Fox.
Or, they were, Corona may have made them realize their paper thin model appealing to everyone except who buys comics was a pretty fucking stupid idea.
Jayden Allen
>Just make Batman black
There's already a black Batman, and his name is Batwing.
I'm tired of casuals trying to "fix" everything.

he looks ridiculous. I like John better.
