The pause button will be the intermission, lol.

This is going to not only make or break the DCU, this is going to make or break Snyder.

The DECU is over. WB announced last year that there will be no more interconnected movies and moving forward, they'll be standalone.

Of course, that's until AT&T decides to fire yet another management team at Warner Brothers.

JJ Abrams is directing an producing the next Superman movie with a script by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

The Hollywood Reporter says this version will feature a Black Superman.

J.J. Abrams is producing the feature, which, according to sources, is being set up as a Black Superman story.

Acclaimed essayist and novelist Ta-Nehisi Coates has been hired to pen the script for a feature reboot of Superman that will be 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 Shadow and Act, a website dedicated to the African diaspora in the arts. “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.

According to sources, the project is being set up as a Black Superman story. This is something that the studio has been trying to wrap its head around for months, if not a year or two. Michael B. Jordan tried to develop a Black Superman project when he first arrived at the studio with his deal in 2019, but that did not go very far at the time, according to sources. It is possible that the studio could return to him to star down the line.

Coates is a superstar author whose books include We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy, The Beautiful Struggle, The Water Dancer and Between the World and Me, the latter of which was adapted by HBO. In the comic book space, he has worked on Captain America and Black Panther, with Disney’s Bob Iger crediting his influential run on the latter in the decision to greenlight the groundbreaking film starring Chadwick Boseman.

Superman first flew onto the big screen with filmmaker Richard Donner’s 1978 film Superman: The Motion Picture, which starred Christopher Reeve. The actor appeared in three subsequent films, with Brandon Routh donning the cape for 2006's Superman Returns and Henry Cavill stepping into the role for 2013's Man of Steel, 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017's Justice League.

This is the first DC feature known to be in development under Abrams' expansive WarnerMedia deal, but he has several DC series in the works for streaming service HBO Max, including Justice League Dark and Constantine.

Coates is an excellent writer. I'd watch it.

Love Coates and glad this is happening. I still hope they can do another Henry Cavill superman too.

Snyder says that Justice League will end with a cliffhanger, which is typical WarnerMedia/DC.

They're telling a story without a conclusion.

Going to be frustrating since they can't commit to cavill as superman also.

Exactly.

There are so many iterations of Batman that I just don't understand why WarnerMedia can't move forward with both Cavill and the JJ/Coates versions of Superman as well.

It sounds like he wants to come back too. I'm now watching the CW Superman and Lois to get that fix. First episode was pretty good but I really want Cavill to get a better movie...I want to hat MOS2.

I was really surprised how different Superman and Lois was from the rest of the CW shows. It has a maturity to it that the rest of the series don't, the look is much more cinematic, even the color palate is different, more subtle, even dark, closer to the film universe than the tv.I haven't watched ep 2 yet, but I was really encouraged by the quality of the pilot.

Yeah I'm hoping it doesn't get drowned by CW in terrible writing. They def have a better budget for this show.

keg in kc · 03-02-2021, 03:56 PM

I heard or read somewhere that HBO max is involved in the production and footing some of the bill for the show, so it's got a higher budget than normal for CW, but I don't know if that's true.

Probably is...the effects look better. Reminds me of something that would've been on dc universe.

keg in kc · 03-02-2021, 04:37 PM

And news broke today it's already renewed for a 2nd season (along with a bunch of other CW stuff).

Anyway, probably enough of a Superman and Lois detour for this thread.
