These are some picks of mine for Superman who are black. I realize most of these are on the young side. I think they should have a young Superman.

How was Fisher in True Detective? The only thing I've seen that he's in is Justice League, so you can't really count that.

He's fine. I enjoyed that season a lot but I don't remember him getting a ton to do, so he got kinda overshadowed by Ali, Dorff, and Ejogo.

Exactly like how we felt when he was suggested for Reed.

All this talk of William Jackson Harper as Reed made me think of Midsommar, and now I'm scouring my brain for MCU roles I'd want to see Will Poulter in because dammit I love him and want to see him crammed in somewhere.

Harper was such a defining part of The Good Place that I've got a lot of trouble seeing him as anything but his character in it. That's more of a me problem though.

Harper would be a way better Superman than Reed Richards. He’s too likeable for even the most optimistic version of Richards, who needs just a little bit of oblivious prick to him.

He recently did one of those audiobook/podcast things for Marvel and some app about Black Panther, and he does a solid job delivering T'Challa's dialogue. If recasting Boseman wasn't off the table, he wouldn't be a terrible shout, especially given The Good Place shows he already has the body Marvel Studios wants for those roles.

Yeah same here. I guess that'd make me believe the Clark/Superman switch more because I can see him being kind of a goof like Clark but can never imagine him getting serious as Superman

I can see him working much better as Superman than Reed Richards. I never understood why people were fancasting him for Reed because Reed is a self absorbed rear end in a top hat and I'm not sure how that connection was made.

I don’t really understand it either.

I think Bill Hader would be a great Reed since he can do the self absorbed part and the decent person part really well. Barry has me convinced he would be the perfect Reed.

Whoever is cast as Superman, they better have their underpants on the outside and while you’re at it go ahead and put the Fleischer shield on his chest. Like the new CW Supes suit except, you know, good.

Gavok is Nighhtwolf good? Dose he ever rise above standard indigenous spirit man?

He's still the indigenous spirit man and now has a glowing ghost wolf and glowing ghost bear at his side, but MK11 made him a lot cooler. Here are his intros and winposes.

I know that when Rare rebooted Killer Instinct a few years ago, they actually went and got the help of Native Americans when redesigning Chief Thunder so he was more authentic and less of a stereotype written by white dudes. Not sure if NetherRealm did the same thing for Nightwolf.

Also, it's fun to do his first fatality to Frost because it makes literally no sense.

Also, given the number of nuts things the previous Nightwolf apparently got up to, they should make a game about her instead.

You've got it backwards. Whedons stuff was the reshoots. Most of this was shot before Snyder left the movie and cut. From what I understand the only real new footage is the Joker poo poo. I guess if you count finishing incomplete CGI as reshoots then sure. Also they said 4 hours months ago so why are we acting like this is news?

Rumors going around that Amber Heard has been fired from Aquaman 2.

Which is really surprising to me. I don't know if you guys have been following all this more closely than I have, but I didn't know there was even going to be an Aquaman 2.

Someone can correct me, but I *think* Aquaman was the highest grossing of the DCEU films.

The rumors was a note published by Forbes, and deleted later, but not after a bunch of click bait sites got their hands on it. It seems a new actress has been cast for another role and whoever wrote the note spin it as Amber had bee fired. That's the information I could get from it when it was trending the other day, who knows if it's correct. And there's gonna be a Aquaman 2, it was announced I can't remember when.
