The next Superman will be black: New superhero movie will feature black lead, director and script-writer
The next Superman movie will feature a black actor in the lead role for the first time ever and a black director at the helm, according to a report Wednesday. Ta-Nehisi Coates, the acclaimed novelist who expanded the world of Wakanda for Marvel comics, is also writing the script and is expected to turn it in to Warner Bros bosses in December. While it will be the first time that a black Superman will appear on the big screen, it will not be new ground for the DC comic icon. A character called Calvin Ellis was first introduced in 2009 series Final Crisis 7, as a Superman from an alternative universe. That character is from 'Earth 23' where his civilian identity is also the president of the United States. Comic book writer Grant Morrison has said he was inspired by Barack Obama when he created the character. View Quote So he is going to be a racist, anti-America, Marxist superman? |

Can't be worse than the white Superman movies
The black spider man movie was pretty good. Wakanda is a world now? |
|
They did this in the 90s
Nothing new, but I’m sure some will be triggered. |
|
He will fight White Supremacy across the globe and universe!
yeah! |
|
Couldn't care less. Superman is an alien, he's not human. Don't watch anymore. Endgame was just that for me.
|
|
Every day they keep outdoing their stupidity. Want a black superhero, fine, just come up with another one.

More forced diversity bullshit.
This is another example of Hollywood going to shit. Recycle an old movie and change the characters to black or female, like ghostbusters. It’s the story, not the diversity that makes a good movie. Hell, my favorite movie has a female lead (Aliens). I love anything with Denzel in it. It’s not the diversity, it’s the story that makes a good movie. |

It’ll do absolutely shitty at the box office, critics will hail it as the best movie since Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and we'll have to ensure a year of the news and entertainment media telling us we're all racist because we didn't go see it.
|
|
Lol no it won’t.
China would never watch it. And they won’t want to tarnish the name with a low budget flick. |

Quoted: He will fight for white suppression. View Quote No no no, silly. It won't be as overt as THAT. The plot will be more like this: An evil cabal of greedy corporate executives (mainly white) are conspiring to oppress the rights of a group of righteous, ennobled, transgender employees who are "transitioning." That's when... ...BLACK SUPERMAN®... ...will appear, to combat the evil doers, for truth, justice, and rainbow pride! |
|
lets roll out a white dude as black panther next, for diversity reasons.
|
|
I can live with a black Superman because I no longer care enough to be angry.
What is bullshit is the asshole they have writing the story. A flaming anti-white racist. A bigot to his core and he is being rewarded for spewing hate. |

My problem with this is Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is a racist piece of shit.
Even liberals at Politico called him out Between the World and Me evokes the terror of the upbringing Coates had in West Baltimore in the 1980s with a sickening immediacy. His father beat him. Other kids were a constant physical, perhaps even mortal, threat. Coates lived in perpetual fear - although largely of other black people. He argues - although that might be too generous a word; it's more like assertion shrouded in a haze of lyricism - that all that other black people did to hurt or threaten him was ultimately the product of white racism. (snip) "'White America' is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies," he writes. What is this white America? Is it Nancy Pelosi or Ted Cruz? Is it Massachusetts or is it Utah? Is it supporters of affirmative action or opponents? Is it teachers who work in the inner city, or gap-toothed yokels who chortle over racist jokes? This white America contains multitudes. Coates blames it for the death of an acquaintance of his from Howard University, Prince Jones. He was shot by a black cop from a relatively affluent black-majority area governed by blacks. This doesn't make it less awful, but suggests the picture is more complicated than Coates' eloquent reductiveness suggests. His monstrous passage about 9/11 is a good summation of where he's coming from. He writes of the police and firefighters who died running into the burning buildings in a forlorn effort to save all the people whose bodies were about to be obliterated into dust, "They were not human to me. Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could with no justification shatter my body." View Quote |

About as stupid as Marvel making Heimdall a black guy in the Thor movies.
Even encyclopedia Brittannica knows he was white. Heimdall, Old Norse Heimdallr, in Norse mythology, the watchman of the gods. Called the shining god and whitest skinned of the gods, Heimdall dwelt at the entry to Asgard, where he gua View Quote |

Of course.
I’m actually somewhat surprised Superman is still male |
|
There's another Hollywood movie I won't be watching. No big deal.
|
|
|
Okay. Fine. He is black. But, is he a homosexual? Get back to me when comic books decide to stop being bigots and spreading hate.
|

White people using a black actor as a pawn in their attempt to virtue single for other white people would be considered racist if we weren't a nation of morons.

I for one look forward to the movie where Benedict Cumberbatch plays Martin Luther King, Jr. but it's OK because he comes from a world in which MLKJr was a white Brit.
the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the NAACP et al would be heard on Mars. |

What will black superman's black slogan be? Obviously Truth, Justice, and the American way is steeped in institutionalized racism and white nationalism.
Maybe black superman can finally do something meaningful. For instance, if black teenage girls are trying to stab each other in the street as part of their rich, diverse cultural heritage, black superman could kill the white nationalist cops when they try to interfere. |

JJ Abrahms & co ruining yet another franchise...
I wish a fucking meteor would hit him at this point. |
|
Big booty white women will be his kryptonite.
I too suffer this pain. |

Quoted: My problem with this is Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is a racist piece of shit. Even liberals at Politico called him out View Quote Yep. He's a racist asshole loved by white leftists who is no more than a mediocre writer He's also the one who put Jordan Petersons words into red skulls mouth while continuing to ruin Capt America |

I knew they were triggered and it would simply be a matter of time.
Afrocentric all the things. Can’t wait to see how ghetto his cape will be. Big gold “S” in his tooth. |

I really don't care if superman is black, it's a fictional character and his race doesn't seem relevant. But I'm sure they'll turn it into some woke bs storyline and it'll suck. Luckily, I'm not into the superhero comic book stuff anyway.

|
He will be shunned by the Liberals because he hasn't had a COVID vaccination.
|
|
I don't give a fuck.
Is the movie good or not? That's the question. |
