The closest I can think of is the more ethnically diverse Earth-D, which of course got destroyed right after being introduced.
Which I’d have appreciated more if it had been created before Crisis on Infinite Earths, as opposed 10+years later.

Thinking about the idea I’m surprised DC hasn’t done one of their “Elseworlds” things where Superman or Batman are black.
I’d love to see a good writer tackle a young Kal-El being found and raised by a kindly black couple in the late 19teens, early 1920s. How different would Superman be I wonder?

But the real question is this — is BatJesus really white? I think the answer is no.
Boas festas a todos.
Could Batjesus beat up Superjesus?
As told by the Book of Alfred.
Would Batjesus have to restyle his beard as part of getting into costume?
Bats and birds are confused in the pre-(Bat)Carpenter’s son lore, so confusing bats and magic sky faeries simply continues the tradition.

Did it make the mistake of falling for Earth-B, The Blonde Earth, thus dooming itself to die self-sacrificially?
Where’s the Jesus=Superman Xmas story?

Well, there’s Steel, kinda sorta.
Rey Fox:
Steel is a character inspired by Superman, though. He’s far from a black version of Superman.
Cut out the last panel and you’ve got prime Bill Donohue rage-bait.
One question:
Does Batjesus have 12 Robins?
