I'm a bit...confused by WB hiring Coates to write the Superman thing. I understand he carries quite a bit of baggage, and I'd have thought WB would want to avoid any more of that, given the League debacle. I mean the man seems to be both a racist and quite evil---given his statements about 9-11 and whites in general. Not sure I'd want him writing my arguably most popular character's movie and probably making it a window into a rather nasty worldview.
Maybe that's just me though.
