You know how many iterations of Batman that take place in the 1940s?!?!? I say this is fine. Let some elseworld stories take place. Cuz the only elseworld stories people care about is THE BATMAN franchise. We could’ve had Joker have a franchise if the sequel was any good. Superman and Lois is over by the time the DCU even begun. So we can use some elseworlds.

Yeah, I can see it working on Max honestly. A limited series (if it was gonna be a small period piece thing) would work, though I guess they’d have to restructure it as a TV show. I mean there’s no way folks would get confused and it’s more Superman content, so why not.

[@jorson2]

Here’s why not. After the firing of Cavill and cancellation of the very popular SUPERMAN AND LOIS, all most reliable audiences (ie, fans) would likely see in a black Superman movie is an opportunity for Hollywood to once again preach its politics, especially if it’s written by Ta Nahisi Coates. The movie would likely be ratio’d into oblivion and all but destroy a lot of whatever goodwill Gunn’s DCU has because even as an Elseworlds project, everyone knows that only Gunn and Safran have the authority to allow it. And no, calling audiences idiots and bigots won’t help anything whether it’s true or not.

No its not, WB gave him 500 million to produce movies for DC for 5 years and that ends next year.

[@brickity1447]

Why? I feel like if this is made, it should be a new character. No one wants Superman, with the only difference being his skin colour. We should ceeate new stories rather than lazily reskin old ones while pretending that's reputation. I'm all for a black man with Superman level powers, and especially in the 1930s, as this has the potential to truly be a story of beauty and true justice. I'm not hating on the idea, I just feel like this needs to change way more than, oh, look, here's black Clark Kent, no other differences, just that. The reason Miles Morales works so well is because he's a completely new character with a completely new story, a well written and thought-out one as well. Miles Morales isn't a cheap cash grab disguised as representation. He isn't just black Peter Parker. I hope if this is made, they find a way to really justify not just creating a new character. Imagen if instead of creating Static Shock, they just made black Shazam for a comic run, everyone would forget and move on, but when they created a new character in Static Shock, it created a Black Icon in comics. And speaking of Icons, why not create an ICON film? ICON is just as powerful, if not just as powerful as Superman, and represents hope in the same way. There would be so much potential to help give us a permanent new black hero or help make other ones like ICON way more famous. I hope it works out, but it needs to be more than false representation for quick money. Merry Christmas to those reading. ❤
