First Black Superman?  They forgot this one. (And I bet they tried to forget it).

They're hiring a director based on skin color? That doesn't seem right...

Well, the don't have to cut a director out of the film for China and can still virtue signal.

I suspect that MBJ's Val-Zod project will be infinitely more interesting than Abrams', assuming that they're still hellbent on bastardizing Clark Kent.

Unfortunately this is becoming a gender pattern in Hollywood.

Remember with Captain Marvel 2/The Marvels Disney made it clear their new director would have to be a woman that understands the character.

I have a feeling WB Studios assumes now to counter any of the claims against it the strategy ahead is to one-up the thinking.

"We hired someone who is both a great director and knowledgeable about the character(s), who also happens to be woman."

Would anyone be bothered by such a statement? No sexism necessary.

That statement wouldn't both me, but then how could they call me sexist if the movie sucks?

You're already a sexist by forcing them to take away Captain Marvel's sequel and turn it into a team-up!

It’s no longer the best man or woman for the job. Everybody gets a trophy.

Maybe the Oscars will have a best forced diversity award next year?

Quote

In a recent interview with Gizmodo, Gunn was asked about the future of the Black Superman movie, and he revealed it may still move forward. While he hasn't read the -script yet, Gunn called it an "exciting movie" that would, much like The Batman and Joker, exist outside the main DC Universe continuity. He said:

 

"Those two things are totally unrelated. That’s an exciting movie. I know that Chantal Nong, who is the executive on that project, is extremely excited about it. So if it comes in and it’s great, which I haven’t read the -script, and if the timing is right, that could absolutely happen. That’s totally unrelated. It would be an Elseworlds tale like Joker."

So confused now where Safran and Gunn are taking the DCU.

But like...it couldn't be worse than Zack Snyder's absolute inability to understand Superman.

Sure...I get an Elseworlds Superman take inspired by Injustice - but instead he gave us a canonical DCEU Superman that was depressed, sullen and vengeful - absolutely antithetical to the 80+ year ethos of Superman as a character - an alien who took his adopted planet as it was and believed that mankind is inherently good, and constantly strove to appeal to the better angels of our nature, with an almost Ted Lasso-like optimism in the face of evil and adversity.

Instead, we got constipated McMustache face...

Exactly!

Snyder had a vision where he was trying to take all the characters. Even with the originally announced spin-offs of 2014 with Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg and Green Lantern. WB just had no faith in its own vision, even though Jim Lee had helped sketch everything out on huge boards.

He had a plan and that didn't sit well with Warner Bros.

Agreed. Seriously there's a lot of money to be made with the Bat family.  Making a GOOD movie introducing them first would be my first priority. That way you can make a lot of different spin offs.
