baudyhallee:

DC released this supposedly it’s all of Pandora’s appearances in the New 52 #1’s from her perspective.

Pandora must have powers like a Kryptonian.

In Action #1, Superman is stuck up against the nose of the bullet train that’s out of control. X-ray vision? Not the pose displayed on the wall for t-shirt Superman. Pandora is on the train with Lois.

In Superman #1, Pandora again appears where Lois is, not where Superman can be see. This is the celebration of the new Daily Planet inside a ballroom. Lois’ promotion was announced by Morgan Edge. Clark is absent and Lois remarks on it to Perry. Superman is outside flying above the rubble of the old DP.

So Pandora can see through walls — or DC screwed up again?

Wait now… What’s going on here???

Some supporters of the Superman and Wonder Woman relationship have questionable class and common sense. This original post and anyone who agreed with it, including the hellyeahsupermanandwonderwoman tumblr, are tacitly endorsing infidelity (i.e. that an engaged man flirt with another woman)….

All of this

I’m sorry, I just really need to talk about this. First, I was going to rate the new Superman movie a 3/5

Reasons for the first rating:

New 52 (Brought it down to 4/5)

Amy Adams as Lois Lane (dropped it to 3/5)

To start it off, I just want to say that I am not a fan of the New52, and I know many people (everyone I know who is a fan of DC Comics) is not a fan of the New52 either. Second, I have no personal hate against Amy Adams, I believe she is a very beautiful and very talented actress who will definitely make it far in her career, I just don’t believe the role of Lois Lane was made for her.

This is how I see and people have seen Lois for 75 years:

Lois Lane. Hard-headed, strong, sassy, sexy reporter. Dark hair, beautiful eyes (change from brown to blue, mostly those two colors). Does whatever she has to so that she will get a story. To me, Lois Lane isn’t a red-head peppy cheerleader, which is how Amy Adams can be most of the time. Amy Adams just isn’t what I picture as Lois Lane.

And another thing which has devastated me today, they changed Perry White. I do not want to sound racial, but Perry White is a white-male in charge of the Daily Planet. There was an African American male running the D.P. for a bit in the show, Smallville (and probably in the comics as well for a bit), but Perry White was always a white-male.

I just want to know why DC Comics is changing so much in the new movie, what was ever wrong with the old story line? I will admit, the new costume looks good, Henry Cavill looks like a great Superman, and Kevin Costner will be outstanding as Johnathan Kent, just as Russel Crowe will be a great Jor-El.

I…I just don’t know what to expect out of this movie anymore. I’m not a fan of changing something which was never broken.

I really really appreciate that you have a certain picture in your head and that is what you wanted to see on screen. I’ve been reading Superman comic books for almost 44 years. I’ve had a movie in my head for decades.

However, I think you are focusing on the superficial.

Also, you are missing an important Lois Lane of yesteryear. Noel Neill, .

Red hair. Lois also had reddish hair in the comics during the early 90s.

However, my bigger concern is with your comments that Perry White isn’t a white male. Why is this a problem? Just because he has been that way in previous versions doesn’t mean he can’t be a person of color in others. Why can’t he be black on this Earth?

A person’s character or abilities are not defined by color and I think it’s important to understand the value in diversity. It matters if the characters are true to the source, not if they are the same color, be it hair or skin.

You mention Smallville. Lana was Asian,Pete Ross was black which was a change from the comic books. Lois had almost blonde hair one season. Did that change the narrative? No.

I urge you to think about what you’re saying. I understand you are 17 and still growing. Perhaps this can be a moment of self reflection to think about why a person’s skin or hair color matters so much? What does it change if they aren’t white or have red hair?

Perhaps it’s also about understanding that your expectations are not what matters so much as the larger goal of expanding the definition of what these characters can look like.

As long as Lois behaves like Lois and Perry behaves like Perry, I don’t understand why it matters what color they are.

I completely agree with Mayak46.

I am a person of colour. And I am from a post apartheid South Africa generation. I was always taught that the colour of our skin and hair and eyes and what ever else does not define who we are. And I have always thought like that.

To me honestly, I don’t care if Perry is suddenly portrayed by a African man… You know what I saw when they first announced and confirmed the cast? Laurence Fishburne, a fantastic actor that. I was really pumped and excited that Man of Steel cast such a fantastic array of actors to be these iconic characters. The casting director didn’t say “we need a white male” or “only brunettes allowed” they cast people with multiple Oscar nominations between them. That must say something about there acting skills.

And at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Can they act and bring these iconic characters to life.

You should really listen to David Goyer’s interview where he addresses the “African-American Perry White” issue.

As for Lois Lane having red hair, look back probably the most iconic Superman comics: The Death of Superman, and The Lois and Clark Wedding… Lois is portrayed with Auburn Hair. In fact, sometimes it’s down right red, like Barbara Gordon’s hair. She is a modern woman, she can colour her hair. Like Emma Stone, she’s been a red head, a brunette and a blonde. Again, it doesn’t matter to me what the colour of ones skin or hair is. What matters is what’s below the surface.

This is the same reaction people had to Heath Ledger as the Joker, and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. Ledger won an Oscar for The Joker, and Anne Hathaway had every single critic out there in awe from the word “Oops”

I have no fear what so ever that both Amy and Laurence will prove to be phenomenal portrayals of these characters.

Sometimes it is better to look beyond the cover of book and dive deeper into it’s pages to see it’s true value and worth.

If no one looked beyond the title “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” one of the most celebrated books of a generation would never have been published.

Like wise, you are welcome to judge the movie on the outcome of the acting and the story after you have seen it, not on race, colour of ones skin, and hair colour. That is frankly a bit narrow minded.

I am not trying to scold or start anything with you, I’m just asking that you not judge people on their skin or hair colour.
