Uh yeah. This will rank right up there with the all girls ghostbusters.

“I look forward to meaningfully adding to the legacy of America’s most iconic mythic hero.”

That’s all one has to hear. No one creative talks like that.

There is a new, powerful and moving Superman story yet to be told.?

Is it just me that has an idea of where this is heading ???

[Sans-Culotte]

The DC movies already suck. Now they’ll continue to suck but they’ll be woke.

JJ Abrams and his “Bad Reboot” company are destroying every piece of Americana they can lay their hands on.

Star Trek, Star Wars and now Lord of the Rings and Superman.

His wife is rumored to be the one who started the #MeToo movement.

because cultural appropriation only works one way

[blue state conservative]

He is the big reparations guy. Maybe this superman will break into the Treasury and print $18 Trillion and then drop it over America’s major cities.

With a pedigree like that I'm sure the movie will be great!! (not)

I’m am assuming that superman will now be black.

Hint:

[catnipman]

i’m guessing that White Kryptonite is fatal to Black Superman, right?

[glennaro]

After what happened with “Mr. Potato Head” (recently changed to just “Potato Head” by the toy manufacturer), I’m just happy Superman remains as such ... at least until some other grievance studies graduate with too much time and too little wisdom discovers this horrible oversight. Then we’ll have just “Super” ... or perhaps “Superit”.

[Sirius Lee]

Supermannerism peaked with the first movie with Chris Reeves and a score by Williams. “Truth, Justice, and the American way.” The perfect blend of drama, camp, and heart.

How I wish there was a director now who loved America. (I think Eastwood is retired)

[Olog-hai]

DC already has a black Superman character, with the secret identity of Calvin Ellis.

If Coates wants to be “groundbreaking”, he should resurrect the superhero created by Richard Pryor in his stand-up routines: he goes by the secret identity of Clark Washington (mild-mannered custodian fir the Daily Planet), is faster than a bowl of chitterlings, is able to leap over slums in a single bound, has X-ray vision that can see through everything except Whitey, and he heroically rushes to the conflagration engulfing Warehouse 86 to save his stash . . .

They tabled the “Black Batman movie” because the lead couldn’t go into a liquor store without robbin...

[mjp]

superman is black and enslaves whitey

[PghBaldy]

Superman is one of the great American fictional characters. Whatever this black supremacist “creates,” it will not be “Superman.”

[Jyotishi]

Coates is the son of a former Black Panther according to Wikipedia.
