After seeing Daveed Diggs as Superman, I'm for it.
It can also help make something clear about Superman that seems to get forgotten.
Please, remember that Superman is supposed to be someone who wasn't born "one of us" but is very much "one of us". He didn't have to be born here, he lives here and loves here and wants to make here a better place because of that. *THAT* is the American way.
So, a Superman that has to deal with being politely othered in his everyday life, but being whitewashed in the reporting and treatment of his heroics would be very true to the spirit of the Man of Tomorrow who, nonetheless, has battles to fight today.
