and Krypto! (from the Val-Zod story in Superman Red and Blue

But of course, why use the Kal-El name at all? Adapting Val-Zod, would be the better move. An already established character from the comics. Hopefully that THR article wasn't quite accurate.

Let me correct myself and say WB.

Black representation is fine and I completely support it, but? There is literally no reason to do this when you can write a story about a black character in the Superman universe.

Steel.
Icon.
Val Zod.
Ronan.

You have options, make them iconic https://t.co/avrovWTNGI

Lemme get this straight-
Warner Bros has the following versions of Superman at their disposal: Val-Zod, Calvin Ellis, and Steel...

And you want to just make Clark Kent black?

This is Val Zod. In Earth 2, Jor El saved him from Krypton.

Black fans don't want black Kal-El because we would rather have Calvin Ellis, Val-Zod, or the incredible and underused Icon. We have more than one black Superman already and it appears WB just wants to save face by pandering to us instead of listening to us.

Secondo THR, il scritto da vedrebbe protagonista un attore di colore.
Niente di sconcertante per me, esistono Kalel/Calvin Ellis e il Val-Zod di Terra-2.
Il film non sarebbe collegato al DCEU e vivrebbe quindi in quel Multiverso ⬇️

Lo que molaría ver Supermans negros en el cine como Calvin Ellis o Val-Zod, pero no, Warner tiene que anunciar una película de un Superman negro que encima va a ser sobre Kal-El, que ni siquiera es de raza negra.

Race swapping Kal is lazy. You had Lor-Zod aka Hernan Guerra from JL: Gods and Monsters along with Val-Zod.

Both characters were accepted by their audience without the split you currently see with Kal. They're doing this hoping to capture 'Black Panther' numbers.

I'm really excited to see a black superman but does it have to be Kal-El? Like Val-Zod is a great choice imo. Either way I'm really excited https://t.co/ZBQ6ApJzNl

Why don't they use Icon or Val Zod or did they forget there is already a black Superman? https://t.co/GvLo9bpawT

Queria o Val Zod sendo o Superman 😢 meu favorito sabe? A origem dele não é uma copia do Clark, ele existe em uma terra onde o Clark morreu

Hey , pourquoi ne pas juste introduire au grand public Calvin Ellis ou encore Val-Zod plutôt que de reboot une énième fois Kal-El quand Henry Cavill est déjà parfait dans le rôle ?

Pas très sympa le cadeau d'anniversaire de la part de WB à Henry Cavill 😅

The fact WB is not using Calvin Ellis or Val-Zod proves that couldn't care less about black people. They don't want to waste time building their stories and give black folks the representation they need, like Snyder/Terrio/Fisher did it on ZSJL.

I hope this Kal el is Calvin Ellis and not Clark Kent. Ellis, Val Zod, John Henry Irons, Augustus Freeman IV and Mari McCabe deserve the movie treatment instead of simply racebending Clark. https://t.co/bljOBGPdLh
