How about a Superman reboot set in the 30s, 40s or the 50s?

No. Because Captain America has taken that spot now.

The stage of the cape has been defined and dominated by Marvel. DC can only take the second pick.

PC makes it impossible. You can't have Supes openly calling people niggers.

That would work only if they do it on alternate timelines, like Red Son, so they can easily ignore the racists behaviour of the time. Besides the story is good. Not sure if it would work on a film though, considering they really tone down political issues

I think 50s are ideal era for a classic Superman story and I'd love a justice league movie set in the late 50s/early 60s.

WB should have done this. Would have immediately separated DC and Marvel on audiences minds.

Would have been cool and hip too.

His pajamas were too bright back then

Also too many white people for today's audience

When will white men regain power? Is it too late now?

Sup Forumsmblr would be the first to sceech about how problematic that would be.
Sad too since that was the only time Superman, and capeshit in general wasn't complete bullshit.

Would be great.

The people crying "PC" forget Captain America was set around the same time, and it worked well.
