Acclaimed essayist and novelist Ta-Nehisi Coates has been hired to pen the script for a feature reboot of Superman that will produced by J.J. Abrams.
“To be invited into the DC Extended Universe by Warner Bros., DC Films and Bad Robot is an honor,” said Coates in a statement to website Shadow and Act. “I look forward to meaningfully adding to the legacy of America's most iconic mythic hero."
“There is a new, powerful and moving Superman story yet to be told. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with the brilliant Mr. Coates to help bring that story to the big screen, and we’re beyond thankful to the team at Warner Bros. for the opportunity,” said J.J. Abrams in the statement to S&A.

Will audiences be introduced to a Black Superman? That is the intent and something that the studio has been trying to find a way in for months if not a year or two, according to sources.

WB for some time has been trying to figure out how to reboot franchise with a Black Superman in lead role going as far as meeting with Michael B. Jordan to hear his pitch more then a year ago on what that would look like. MBJ not involved now but we shall see if that changes

I actually think JJ Abrams is a great choice for Superman. His palate and approach are kind of perfect for the Big Blue Boy Scout.
But Ta-Nehisi Coates doing the story of a white farm boy that is a paragon for "truth, justice and the American way"?
Holy shite will this be wokefied

This sounds like a horrible idea.

Here's a quote from him about the heroes who rushed into the WTC on 9/11
Now he's going to write a Superman movie.
quote:
“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.”
Now he's going to write a Superman movie.

Superman has a dream that can't be realized until Lex Luthor provides the solution. A kryptonite scalpel to perform the gender reassignment surgery.

This is a personal punishment directed towards me. I've been bitching for years that they couldn't possibly make a worse Superman movie than Man of Steel or Batman V Superman.

It's bad enough that DC completely wasted Henry Cavill's prime years but they're also going to allow this leftist SJW trash to touch the most iconic character in all of comic book history?
We live in hell right now and a lot of people around me may have done a lot to deserve this but it sure as shite is not me, one of the biggest Superman fanboys there is out there.

I guess we all know what costume we'll see. And the kryptonite jokes just write themself. I'll assume instead of green glowing, it'll be red, white and blue

Could it be the black superman from after supes death?
Steel?
Steel?

This is one of the reasons why I've slowly been pulling away from film and television. More and more I've been turning to novels and non-fiction to satisfy me in my downtime.

I hope this happens. I hope this will be the beginning of the end to all super hero movies. I’m so tired of the same rehashed BS that they are doing in Hollywood. Used to be a super hero movie every couple years. Now it’s 4 a year and worn out.

Well. That will be awful, and there is no chance I'll be watching it.
Seriously, y'all should just try to read some of his Black Panther books. They are absolutely garbage. I wouldn't watch this even if he was a fantastic writer, but he isn't even mediocre.
