I always like Lex Luthor as a black guy. IDKY.

Perhaps the Rock maybe?
I generally hate raceswapping but I also would've liked Lex as a black guy. Just not the Rock. Someone with a young Giancarlo Esposito kind of vibe.

1. I'm ok with colorblind casting if its not a character from history/mythology/legend or explictly described as one race, or they do it just to be diverse. Like Catwoman makes more sense as a black woman to me as well, tho Anne, Julie, and Michelle will always have special places in my heart.
2. Eh, I can see it, but Lex is bald. Maybe Vin Diesel, or are we looking for more a light brown, that's the Lex Luthor I grew up with.

Catwoman is canonically Cuban, so I think Ana de Armas would've made more sense than Zoe Kravitz (who was godawful anyway), but that's another topic.

That seems to be a modern addition, as it appeared in her solo comics, which started in '93. Catwoman was already an established character since '46. Issue 81 of the Catwoman comics, where it's stated her mother is Cuban, came out in '08.
Zoe Kravitz (who was godawful anyway), but that's another topic.
