Laurence Fishburne is the New Perry White in Superman


First a Black Batman, then a Biracial Spider-Man and now, a Black Perry White. Yes, the big cheese of the Daily Planet will be played by Morpheus.

EW has the story:
Laurence Fishburne will play Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White in Man of Steel, EW has learned exclusively. White has traditionally been a hard-charging, old fashioned newspaperman, who relies on his ace reporters, Clark and Lois, to get the big scoop.
I have to say that diversity is running wild in the comic book/movie world.

    I'm not going to see it. From what it sounds like it is another tribute to Richard Donner...not a Superman movie.

    They gonna make Lois Lane Latino too? I hate that the comics world glass ceiling is so thick that no new characters of color can get through. They have to take existing characters and make them "other" so that they can be inclusive. Which just pisses the fanboys off. Man-o-man.
