Jimmy Olsen’s portrayal in the DCEU has left fans disappointed. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he was quickly introduced as a CIA agent and killed off. However, James Gunn’s upcoming film Superman: Legacy has raised hopes for a live-action version that stays true to the beloved comic-book character.
However, a gender-swapped fan-casting suggestion of Sophia Lillis, known for her roles in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and I Am Not Okay With This, has received backlash from dedicated DC fans. They demand a “100% faithful” portrayal of the original character, emphasizing his red-haired appearance.
Responses to the fan-casting suggestion vary, with some outright rejecting it and demanding a faithful adaptation, while others insist on the character’s depiction as he is in the comics.
All things considered, even if Superman Legacy were to faithfully portray the comic book version of Jimmy Olsen, it’s likely that some comic book fans would still find fault. This is because Jimmy Olsen is known for frequently disguising himself as a woman, leading to the argument that he could be considered one of the first transgender characters in comics.
Why miss the opportunity to include a crowd-pleasing representation of a transgender character in the new DCU? It’s about time we embrace the classic comic version of Jimmy Olsen, who proudly embraces femininity and looks fabulous in stylish skirts, full makeup, and sheer hose.
