I may be wrong but isn't Superman a fictional character from another galaxy, whereas Anne Boleyn was a real person? If so, then surely the former is "fair game' for interpretation whereas the latter isn't.

You are not wrong. What the black DC fans are upset with though is the lazy thought of 'we'll just make Kal El/Superman black so that'll make everything pc and everyone will be happy' rather than taking the time to pick one of the other Supermen who are black and putting the effort into making a film and giving them an identity and a back story.

Definitely a point worth highlighting in this case. At least you're approaching this is a real world manner, and offering this particular black perspective. Usually that would be intentionally omitted and we'd get a kind of 'the blacks are at it again' from those looking to further dubious and wayward identity politics of their own. Kudos to you for offering a fair minded take on the need for fleshed out characters rather than tokenism for the sake of it.

Whatever floats your boat

I'm certainly no expert, but my son informs me that there is already a Black Superman in the DC Comics called Steel.
I don't know his story, but an existing Black version of Superman would be acceptable to most as long as it didn't replace the classic version.
My biggest reservation is that Henry Cavill made an excellent Superman, A hard task after Christopher Reeve made the role his own.

Thanks for that, I didn't know the name of the character.
But that is the point in case. They could give Steel his own movie or even introduced him so he can work alongside Kal El.
Getting back to Henry Cavill. He has hit out at DC and Warner Bros and has unfollowed them on Twitter etc.
He's said to be one of the nicest people around but the way he has been treated has not been good at all so can't blame him really.

It does seem to be an unprofessional and weird way to treat him....on his birthday? That said, Hollywood is a nest of 'sell their own grandmother' degenerates smiling for the cameras.

Yep, the best since Reeve.
