We can only hope this isn't true. Some of it doesn't sound likely at all.

People paid to watch MoS 2 with some Batman Origin story and Wonder Woman cameo thrown in the movie. Then WB has the audacity to wonder why their movie is getting shit on by critics and fans and is tanking badly. God I need to find the BvS thread so I can get my full rant out. Just thinking about the movie brings out the inner fan rage in me.

Because Superman is empty in that movie?
If you think about it all the humanity and internal struggles Supes have in that movie are externalized in form of Lois, plus a bit in Martha. Which is a terrible idea because it makes Superman himself feel hollow.exaggerating much?
That's racist don't you think ?!
So, only a black director is able to direct a movie about a black super-hero ?!
This is called "positive discrimination" but it's still discrimination.
Why couldn't a white director handle it ?

White director could handle it, but why not pick a black one in a first movie about black superhero for DCEU? There's a lot of talented black directors, so why not give them a chance just as you're giving black superhero one?
You're acting like there's this tiny pool of black directors and somehow they will be forced to pick a weak one solely because they want a director of that particular race. In reality they can pick black director who will be just as good as any white one for that movie. So why not do it? Plus as a black person he will likely be able to grasp this character better.

Nah, I hate Cyborg. My comment was meant for the movie aiming to have a 'black director'.

I don't get the "Cyborg movie needs a black director" idea neither.
I want the Cyborg movie to be good, like I want the other DC movies to be good. If WB find a director for Cyborg who does a good job, then I don't see why someone should care about his or her race.
I'm a huge anti-racist, because I don't care about races, genders, sexual orientations etc. Are you a good person? That's what it counts. In this case: Can you do a good job? That's what it counts.

I actually wonder if the film would've been better if it had gone in the opposite direction.
Do something like Civil War, where it's an Iron Man vs Cap film, but still very much a Cap film overall.
Like, instead of making this film sort-of MOS 2 and sort-of Batman 1, maybe it should've fully been a Man of Steel 2, where Batman is effectively the antagonist. Batman's always supposed to be a mysterious character, so framing the story as Clark Kent uncovering the "mystery of the batman" could've allowed for Clark to have a more complete story, and for us to see Batman from an outsider's perspective.

I'm sure a white director could handle it, but diversity and inclusion is as much about who's behind the camera as who is in front of the character. Giving storytellers from marginalized communities a chance to tell their stories is important, and so is cultural ownership.
A white director totally could make a good, even a great black superhero movie. Just like George Miller gave us one of the most feminist action films in years. However, bringing in the perspective of a story-teller who comes from the same race as the character can potentially allow them to create a much more authentic and interesting take on the character's struggles than someone who is an outsider would.
I would be so fucking down
But she's the KEY dammit.

This sounds terrible so I'm gonna bet its true and if it ends up being fake I'll be happy since that means the actual film can only be better... Right...

The movie should explore the psychological makeup of each member of the JL through a series of dream sequences. Really find out what makes them tick.

Sound like the entire thing is being structure in a way that lets Zack Synder do whatever dumbass, tonally inappropriate visuals he wants because 2/3 of the movie will be in the character's minds or some non physical plain. Baller : (
Also, just leave Lois out
Also, just leave Lois out
Like Wonder Woman
And Darkseid Superman
Man I would love this superman he's evil as fuck.
Lol when he forced Lois to have to have dinner with his parents and tried to tell her about our lord and Savior Darksied 😂
Also stop forcing Lois I don't really like her at all.

Never, ever, ever happening.
Has this been posted before? Larry Fong isn't shooting Justice League (scheduling conflicts). New DP is Fabian Wagner -- whose resume lists the movie as being called just "The Justice League"

I'd still go crazy. If they want their movies to be the "serious" alternative to marvels popcorn flix then they need to try and court serious directors. There's definitely stories that can be told with the genre.

Sure, but nothing in McQueen's wheelhouse suggests that he'd be in for big blockbusters. McQueen's an art film director.
Someone like F. Gary Gray or Ryan Coogler, if he wasn't tied up with Black Panther, are more realistic choices.
This really does come across as a list of everything that everyone complained about in BvS, with a smattering of other complaints from other well known comic book movie fuck ups. Vague enough to seem realistic, specific enough to seem like an actual prediction.
I certainly hope this isn't true because it sounds awful on every level. I don't want DC to copy Marvel one for one, but there has to be a happy medium between "everyone cracking one liners" and "a group of borderline deranged maniacs on the verge of turning to the side of evil".

Lots of DC heroes joke around and crack one-liners. I don;t understand where this narrative came from that DC is super serious and grim-dark compared to Marvel. Outside of Batman (and even he snarks from time to time), it just isn't true.
Just someone I'd like to offer a unique perspective (and had actual talent vs snyder)

I know it isn't. The problem is that I'm not sure Zack Snyder knows.
At least Suicide Squad looks better in that regard.
Won't someone think of all the poor white directors being discriminated against!

Yay for Booster Gold, if true
Weirdly enough, I would hate this. Johnson is great at gritty sci-fi (Looper, in particular), with good individual-level stories. A giant, all green-screen, flying around in space, insane powers kind of film doesn't sound like his strength at all.
Actually the implication is that they're only considering black directors for specific movies that they are setting aside as "black director material" and not really considering black directors on the whole for their entire catalog of upcoming films.
It's like they're throwing diversity a bone on a specific movie for placation purposes.
