A Lot Of People Are Asking For A Static Shock Movie Instead Of A Black Superman Movie - Okayplayer
A live-action Static Shock film was actually announced by Warner Bros. at last year's DC FanDome. Amid news that Warner Bros. is still looking for a Black Superman and a Black director for the next film in the series, some people are now asking that Warner Bros. focus on a live-action Static...

Bottom line for me. It's insulting, and demeaning. It's just WB try to have their woke cake and eat it too. They want woke points but are too cowardly to take a risk on a real black superhero so they hedge their bet by making Superman black. You would think they would have learned from Marvel that risk can pay off HUGE. Let's be real here how many people in the general public knew who Black Panther was before he popped up in Civil War?

my though is less "how dare they" and more "they will fuck this up"
I'd say something about woke characters inevitably being Sues, but let's face it, Superman has always been a bit of a Sue, and what made him interesting and worth watching was his outlook/philosophy and just some good storytelling. Good storytelling is something the woke crowd seems to be incapable of, and I think we can all guess what his outlook is going to be.

Aside from the uncreative superheroic nom de plume* and the hideous bayformers aesthetics of his prosthetic body in Justice League, Victor Stone deserves more attention. He's got an interesting origin story as a man repaired by experimental and/or alien technologies, uniquely cheerful characterization considering his circumstances and a creative rogues gallery.
Needless to say, DC's been walking back their promise of a sole film.
* He's a cyborg whose superpower is being a cyborg named 'cyborg'. Yeah, that must've taken some real work DC.

I'm still irritated that the comics shoehorned him into being a founding member of the Justice League solely because Dan Didio insisted that the team needed a black guy (which he didn't want to be the John Steward Green Lantern, as was done in the cartoon, because his favorite Green Lantern was Hal Jordon), when he's supposed to be part of a team that consists of all their sidekicks; the Teen Titans. Though that was just one of many, many stupid alterations to canon they made when they rebooted the comics with New 52 back in 2011; like getting rid of the Martian Manhunter, or turning Starfire into a slut.

No way they would do Icon. A black (well alien but you know) conservative that goes from a slave to a upper class lawyer that meets a young liberal black woman and they start to learn from one another and compromise on their views to fix their crime laden city... It pretty much refutes everything Ta-neheisi Coates believes in.
The whole idea that they need to Blackface the original Superman is silly. It's already been proven that you don't even need a Black superhero movie with widespread name recognition to make money. Black Panther was barely known but was a heavily marketed MCU property sure, but then you had Hancock which made 600 million dollars despite being based on absolutely nothing popular AFAIK besides Will Smith and furthermore it didn't even market a major villain and billed itself as a sort of action-comedy to boot.
Six hundred million dollars might be small considering current blockbusters but even for a 200 million dollar movie it'd be hard to qualify any Black Superman style movie as not being a success if it triples its highest conceivable production budget.
I'd be surprised about this happening anytime soon considering how outspoken Ray Palmer has been about racism allegedly coming from Joss Whedon and Geoff Johns of all people. I know some of the other cast members on Justice League were sympathetic to Palmer's comments but I have no idea if anything specific was even alleged yet. Either way... it's a toxic relationship as they would say so that seems like it would be an extra nail in the coffin for any near future Cyborg movie plans. Maybe WB can virtue signal a film later on though.

So, instead of doing something like giving John Henry the movie he deserves (Idris Elba doesn't seem to be busy at the moment. Just saying), we're going to get superman as played by the guy from fantastic 4. Possibly written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, though hopefully not because that's like honestly something I would write as a parody of how Hollywood works.
"Well, whatshisface is dead, so the black panther franchise is at its weakest. Let's capitalize on this by getting the other guy from that movie, written by, like, the only black guy who's name we've heard that does comic stuff, and mad it all together. That out to do well".
