May 7, 2012 11:56 am Tyler Perry presents DC Entertainments' LOBO starring Tyler Perry as Ramona.

April 30, 2012 11:58 pm This is currently the best Superman book being published by DC.

April 27, 2012 11:06 pm Thor's Hammer live and uncut, Thor's Hammer all up in your guts!

January 3, 2012 12:30 pm Agreed.

October 17, 2011 9:58 pm I love this book!

September 7, 2011 11:42 pm THANK YOU! I was starting to think her new roommate might be the girl because she had that red hue around her slightly in a few panels that surrounds the mystery girl in the other books. I flipped through the book about a dozen times and could spot her.

September 2, 2011 11:33 pm This news got me feelin' all Hexproof!

August 31, 2011 2:26 pm I think what I really took away from this issue was that DC has a new Trinity of Superman, Batman and Green Lantern. It's been heading in that direction for years but I think Justice League #1 is Green Lanterns official promotion and Wonder Womans demotion. Superman, Batman and Green Lantern feel like the core of this new era. I like that.

I am fine with having a black Perry White but is his wife being portrayed by a black actor as well? 

 

I am not sure I am comfortable with a white Mrs. White. Even though she probably won’t appear on screen there is the possibility of a family photo appearing in Perry's office. A black White married to a white?...

 

Honestly, Jackie Cooper, Lane Smith, Michael McKean and Frank Langella are the live action Perry Whites I can think of off the top of my head right now. Out of those four Jackie Cooper and Frank Langella were our former big screen Whites. While there performances were fine neither part did much to add to the character development of Clark or Superman. They were just there. Frank Langella could have been cut completely and I don’t think it would have changed anything about Superman Returns.

 

I think there needs to be an influx of new characters and supporting cast full of diversity but I don’t see how turning 71 year old character black does anything to add to absence of strong black superheroes. Unless, this is subplot in the movie where Perry White is doing his take on Eddie Murphy’s ‘White Like Eddie’.

 

Laurence Fishburne will deliver an amazing performance as long as it is written for him. I want Perry White to affect Clark and make him grow as journalist. He needs to that boss you hate but hate even more to dissappoint. That boss who knows when to pat you on the back when you deserve it. Over time a comic can capture that but can it be done in a two hour movie? More importantly, can all of that only be conveyed by a white actor? No! Laurence Fishburne is a terrific actor who makes us forget that Morpheus was originally white. 

 

PS. iFanboy please be sure to post any developments on the ethnicity of Perry’s wife.

 

Outtake from brainstorming this comment below:

 

“First a black President, now a black White!”

 

I’m putting the Preface at the end.

 

PREFACE

 

If you honestly take issue with Laurence Fishburne playing Perry White then you need to reexamine the priorities in your life.

 

Laugh it’s funny.
