But a Jape

“Perry, you really should try thinking about things from their point of view.”

– Lois Lane, speaking from experience

I came up with this joke a long time ago, but after thinking about it for a while, I legitimately think an East Asian-presenting Clark Kent provides a lot of thematic potential for a Superman story. And really, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue for those who care about sticking to canon appearance – the most characteristic physical traits for Superman are black hair, a chiseled jaw, and muscles; I’m sure there are plenty of working Asian actors who can fit the bill. OK, I know I said it shouldn’t be too big of an issue for people, but of course I know it would be.
