4. Superman is Weirdly Down with All This

(Page 5)

However, that doesn’t protect the story from its eye-rolling portrayal of the issues.

By its own hand, the story’s about how black people treat Lois unfairly because she’s white. If you’re going to do a story on racism, your message probably shouldn’t be Man, black people sure are needlessly mean to white people. Just sayin’.

But now we get to the real plot. Superman shows up because…I dunno, you tell me. But he shows up, and Lois says she needs his help with her story. She intends to make herself look like a black woman by using a big Kryptonian machine called the Plastimold. The effect will wear off after 24 hours, however.

What’s weirdest to me is that Superman asks very few questions. Lois is like, “I wanna be black today.” And Superman just goes, “Okay, then, Lois. Have fun, babe! Just let me know in advance if you want to be Asian on Friday or whatever, because the machine needs some recalibrating for that.”
