I think it would have been a refreshing take for cinema audiences to see a more diverse relationship on screen, such as that between a white (Super)man and a black women.

We rarely see this portrayed and it would have been nice to see a more bold casting choice for Superman to go beyond the already done race swapping of Perry White...

It’s really not that rare anymore. Batman, Spiderman, Flash, Dune, even Sonic all feature WM/BW pairings.

Half of these are one person, Zendaya!

And then you're talking Zoë Kravitz, who's much the same, I was meaning more a proper black woman.
