If they weren't going to make the show look like the Drake/Pemiani run, then the Morrison/Case run is the only other run to use. I think in this case they made the right decision. At least so far.

WB can just barely make a passable Superman, now they're thinking about remaking the hero completely? THAT seems like an easier task?!
I asked a friend at work who's black how he felt about it. His immediate response was "What, they think Imma wanna go see it more just cause they're making him black? That's stupid..."
It makes me wonder what we would do as GL fans if something was similarly done to our favorites? What if Hal Jordan was a black guy and ex military [it seemed like John spent more time in than Hal...] and they just completely forgot about the whole John Stewart character? Remember when Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson starred in the Walking Tall remake and so much was changed it barely resembled the original story?
I'm all for seeing the Multiverse explored in one of the comic cinematic universes. If they REALLY wanna do a black Superman, I'd have Tangent Superman, Val Zod, or President Superman show up for a cameo that lead into something bigger. Shame Will Smith is already Deadshot, cause he would've been perfect for any of those iterations.

I mean if you wanted to have black Clark help an old lady across the street then just have the writer do it. It doesn't have to be some big civil rights point. The lady is only going to reject him if the writer chooses she do so.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross To Score HBO’s ‘Watchmen’ Series
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross have been hired to score HBO’s upcoming television adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel Watchmen. The show is developed by Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers, Prometheus) and stars Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Andrew Howard, Tom Mison and Frances Fisher. The drama is set in an alternate history where “superheroes” are treated as outlaws, “Watchmen” embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own. Lindelof is also executive producing the project with Nicole Kassell who is also directing the pilot episode, Tom Spezialy, Stephen Williams, and Joseph Iberti (Boardwalk Empire). Watchmen is expected to premiere in 2019 on HBO.
