Anybody who says it's a good idea is just a typical liberal PC parasite trying to show off how tolerant they are. The sane answer of course is NO.

Seriously, I want to know.

there are quite a few black superheroes, but they are not popular. James Bond, they already turned him blond, so they could change him black.

Taking an old popular white hero and making him black seems sorta like throwing black people our left overs. Sure there'd then be a very well known black super hero by technicality, but it'd seem pretty condescending as if DC were saying they couldn't trust a character actually intended to be black to succeed.

As long as Superman embodies the traits of the American immigrant, I'm fine with it. If they start throwing degrading black stereotypes at us, I will not appreciate it. I don't think I can stomach the thought of Superman's secret identity being a rap artist instead of a journalist. Speaking of that, isn't it time for Clark to get out of the newspaper business and do Internet reporting?

I thought that was the 90s, or maybe that was Jimmy Olsen I'm confusing. I remember in the Doomsday storyline, Jimmy Olsen was a turtle boy or something.

I don't care for superheroes. I wouldn't mind an African-American Sgt Rock (strictly the comics version). One of the figures I respected the most when I was younger was a no-nonsense African-American NCO.

I'm pretty sure Will Smith is close enough. I mean he has saved the world more times than Superman has.

Indeed Halle Berry was probably the only good thing about the film but regardless she wasn't even the first black woman to play Catwoman as the deliciously purrrrrrrrfect Eartha Kitt was one of the actors that portrayed her in the Batman TV series. Since it was the '60s, having a black woman constantly trying to bed Batman was actually quite a progressive TV moment coupled with her personally pleasing predilection for tying up a latex-coated Batgirl as a nice bonus.
