Why does Jimmy die so goddamn often?

That wasn't Jimmy who died, that was Jimmy's older brother also named Jimmy.

people don't know what to do with him post-silver age for some reason.

Snyder had the right idea, and so did CW's Supergirl. Either kill him off as a byproduct of the silver age that just doesn't work anymore, or adapt him for a new generation and update him into someone that people would be interested in.

Why does DC do this so often?

In movies filled with JL characters, there is no room for Jimmy Olsen.

You already have black Perry White and Lois Lane. I mean, not even Pete and Lana are that big of characters in the recent movies.

>tfw we missed out on Laurence Fishburne saying "and don't call me Mr. White, Olsen!"

Gingers were pretty much the nigger version of white people.

Since nowadays gingers aren't seen as soulless minorities anymore, they're making all the ginger characters into blackies.

I'm talking about the relatives who have the same name not raceswaps. Did you even read why I replied to?

Fuck off /tv/, not everything is about race

what I replied to*

alas

They fucked it up with Man of Steel.

Honest to God, MoS wasn't thought out to be the start of a cinematic universe. That was Green Lantern. MoS was just a stand-alone movie by the visionaries Nolan, Goyer and Snyder.

For example there are tons of DC characters in it with another role in the same way The Dark Knight series would do.

For example Christopher Meloni's character, who's called Colonel Nathan Hardy, but has a callsign of "The Guardian".
Or Captain Carrie Farris, who says that Superman is hot. She's obviously Carrol Ferris.

In the case of Jimmy Olsen he had a pussy in the movie, in the form of Jenny Jurwich. The guy who's trapped beneath tons of rubble and that Perry and Lombard tries to save.

Batman stole Jimmy's spot as Superman's pal.

We still have gingers and awkward, eager to please losers, anon. If nothing else, a little of Jimmy's brand of comic relief would go a long fucking way in the DCEU.
Or you could use Kirby's version, who was a bike gang leading bad ass.
