There's been great comic writers hired to write movies that ended up not good so I'll give TNC a chance at screenplay.

I'm hoping that, much like essays are his strength, that comics are just his weakest, and not character work in entirety.
That's why i'm excited about him doing a standalone movie, as opposed to his comic runs
Y'all are really going for lens flare jokes when he's not even directing?
Get some new material please.

Coates is a terrible comic writer, dunno how he will fare with a screenplay.
A Black Superman could potentially be more interesting provided they actually tackle race and don't shy away from it. Clark having to navigate the world as a superpowered extraterrestrial and also as a Black/POC person would be compelling stuff to see.

Having read some of the Water Dancer... I have no hope.
These 13 seconds had more Superman in them than the entirety of his last few movie apperances.
Hmm not sure how I feel about this but I'll be cautiously optimistic. Sucks if Cavill is out though. He was not the issue with BvS and JL and deserves another shot. MoS is good enough to warrant that. And crazy by the time this is out it'll be 10 years since MoS.
Zack Snyder has really conditioned people to think that Superman would either snap the boy's neck or look sad as he burned his hat using heat vision.
Maybe an Ayn Rand fan isn't exactly the best choice for the biggest boy scout in the world.
I hope this doesn't come off as anti-diversity or racist or anything, it absolutely is not. But I just can't see them making Superman Black and having it work if they're still going to have it be Clark Kent with the standard origin.
Just to recap: Kal-El landed in Kansas and was taken in by salt-of-the-Earth farmers who raised him to see the good in humanity, and his entire purpose is to be the light that humanity strives for. He's the boy scout and the ultimate role model.
A black kid growing up in hickville is going to have a completely different experience and I'd find it very hard to believe that A. The majority of the planet is going to look up to an alien immigrant black man telling people how they should be, and B. Him deciding to be an icon for all humans when the people that look like him are being put down at every opportunity everywhere.
Now if they want to make it like Miles Morales, that's believable and would work better. But unless they are going to make some significant changes, it's going to end up just another crappy DC film to throw on the pile. And if they make large changes to the origin, is it still Superman? It's going to come off like DC is trying to one-up Black Panther, like "Oh yeah? Our black hero is the best of all heroes! Beat that!", and casting Jordan isn't going to help that.
Jordan would be a fantastic Superman in a world that would accept a Black man in that role. Both in the fictional world and in our world, I don't think we're there. Not to mention he's already faced this backlash when he did Fantastic 4.
Other than any of that, I want Cavill back. People like him, he's great in the role, and he wants to do it.

Just letting you know there's already Black Supermen that aren't Clark Kent. So the ground work has been done for them.
They don't have to go that route, but just saying it's an option for them.
that's not Superman, everybody knows he's incapable of smiling
Snyder's Cut didn't film anything new with Cavill. All old footage.
Sorry, misread :v
That'd be their best option. Hell, put Cavill in there for a cameo. Everyone's happy.
It doesn't have to be Clark Kent. The beautiful thing about comics is that there are legacy characters.
There are two very popular Black Supermen and they're both really strong characters that could hold their own storywise
See, i could get with that...but i wouldn't mind Cavill either.
I like Henry Cavill. He seems like a nice dude; but he played Superman like Ted Bundy playing a courtroom.
talking comics. DC has one of the Black Supermen leading or taking part in a big comic event this year. His name is Calvin Ellis
The two big movies Abrams was a producer on before TROS were The Last Jedi and Mission Impossible Fallout, so obviously if he's producing something it's automatically gonna be shit.
Barack Obama was one of the most widely known and well liked people on the whole planet, especially during his first run. Don't know why you think the world wouldn't look up to or respect a black man that wields as much power as Superman.
They better have Henry Cavill otherwise I'm out. I really don't care for a reboot after how dirty they did the current characters. I'm thinking I'll be done with DC movies after ZSJL, I have very little hopes for whatever they appear to be trying with The Flash. Maybe Shazam and Black Adam might still be ok.
Superman himself as I understand him would say nah, go with Jordan, having him be Superman and try to make what world you'd hope it to be better. Whether that's false hope or not, that's what I love about Superman, he does the thing we think isn't possible.
Good!
Lest the Snyderverse disappear in obscurity where it belongs.
Drop everything!
Make a good Superman movie that fills people with hope and kindness.

I can only hope Coates is just uniquely unsuited to long form comic storytelling, cause the stuff he wrote? Wasn't hittin.
Bro, people told you last time that this being a Bad Robot produced film doesn't mean JJ is on it. The OP even states who will be the actual producer on it.
your loss breh, Batman is probably gonna be the best comic movie in years. trailer alone was *chefskiss*
Same, having a competent writer should help too.
Please no character origin stories Warner. We know who he is and here he came from thanks.
You know, I wonder if they would go with a black Superman.
Or should they focus on just getting a white Superman movie right first?

I like Coates a lot, but from what I remember of his Black Panther run nothing ever really seemed to happen.
