re: Ta-Nehisi Coates to Write New Superman Movie for Warner Bros.

I love people trying to claim he is a great writer. Being a novelist is quite different than 1) a comic book writer and 2) a movie script writer.

General opinion of his BP comics are that they are atrocious and it was a huge mistake to bring him on. Now you are giving him a piece of IP to work on that he cannot relate to at all and will likely just ignore the history and backstories and make up entirely random shite.

Snyder stuck to much of the cannon, and tried to show a different perspective on Superman. A dark theme on the carnage that ensues. Think of it like Khan in Star Trek lore. He’s insane and violent to know end, but you can understand his thinking and motivation.

Snyder just went too dark for his own good with Man of Steel and also just some horrible casting on several characters (*cough* Lois *cough*). In that, Snyder turned off most fans, and was never getting them back.

This will just be awful, but because of identify politics and the unethical use of schools to bring kids to see violent action films because a hero is black will prop it up for them.

Maybe DC and WB just think a real Superman movie is DOA and figure they can just cash in on identity politics bullshite.
