Black Superman Movie still in development

They have a black Superman movie from 1997, it's called Steel and starred Shaquille O'Neal.
Seriously, there's nothing wrong with that character, and if Warner Brothers had developed a long-term plan instead of just throwing out the Synderverse movies as fast as possible, they could have actually made another Steel movie riffing off the Reign of the Supermen storyline.
Now, it's probably too late. The MCU is collapsing under its own weight as audiences prove that giving C-Tier characters their own movies doesn't pay off, and superhero movie fatigue is setting in across the board.
Yah, the C-Tier characters are the problem.
I love Steel. Always liked his story about how he was inspired by Superman to step up and fight crime when he died. You are right. The death of Superman and Reign of Supermen could’ve been done very well
I'm not really a comic book guy, so I don't know anything about Steel's origin story.
But if they were to make a Steel movie today, the first thing they'd do is show how he was stronger, faster, and better than Superman, and how everybody loved him more right away. And Superman purposefully kept Steel out of the spotlight because he was really an insecure mediocre white man who actually stole his powers from Steel, and even when he had his stolen powers he wasn't really that great to begin with.
Sad but true. Which sucks because he was a good character. At least I thought so.
Steel is badass and deserves an original treatment with a great director.
Ezra Miller still isn't canned.
All they needed to do was make a good Superman movie starring Henry Cavill, with room for but not guarantee of sequels. None of this 10 year plan (that will be tossed in 2) bullshit.
Agreed. The _____/Snyder/Gunn verse is getting annoying
James Gunn is a left-progressive champagne socialist with a flair for edgy humor. We all know how this is going to end up. Is anyone at DC going to keep him on track?
I read some of those earth 2 comics with the black Superman years ago and they were bad but the only reason for such a movie would be to lecture white ppl. The idiot who is writing the script is a black supremacist. Superman and Spider-Man are my favorite characters. I want to see them on screen. Not some watered down version. If you want to do a black Superman like character down the road then adapt Icon but I doubt they would do him justice.
I can guarantee you this black Superman movie will be set in 50s or 60s or if not at the very least he will intervene when a white cop is beating up a black person. An over the top lecture about white supremacy wouldn’t surprise me.
You had Henry Cavill who actually is passionate about superman and reads the comic books. Instead we get this garbage
If they want to the 50s/60s, they should adapt DC: The New Frontier.
True but I have no faith in their ability to adapt. But the could prove me wrong

Why is it always black and never any other group? Anybody else notice this?
Definitely a part of it is that you have some left wing white people who can’t seem to stop apologizing for slavery and another part is studios listening to activists. Also the fact that due to the summer of love studios have this idiotic “lift black voices” mentality which really means hire even more activists
I'd love to see Cyborg Superman, or a Green Martian.
Are they just allergic to money?
Should I prepare by diversifying my meme portfolio with "Man of Steal" memes?
Who'd slap you silly if you insulted his wife.
Reference to the movie as well. The other super powered character turns out to be his wife, who is currently married to another man.
