DC Films is reportedly unsure how to make Superman “relevant” for “modern audiences”. Joker just made a $1 Billion by not trying to be relevant to “modern” SJW audiences. Can they just make a good Superman movie like they accidentally did with Joker and then everyone is happy?

DC Films Still Doesn’t Know What To Do With Superman

A recent piece in Variety delved into the future of Warners’ DC films, the studio having long learned their lesson from the failure of Justice League, emboldened by the success of Joker, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman.
Suicide Squad is being rebooted, Harley Quinn is starring in her own supervillain spin-off, a new Batman is on the horizon and the Joker is more popular than ever; the studio is even giving Green Lantern another shot.
But the future of Superman is murky, the studio reportedly unsure how to make the character “relevant to modern audiences.”
Michael B. Jordan has pitched a fresh take on Superman, and the master of franchise reboots, J.J. Abrams, has had multiple discussions with the studio regarding the character, his solar-powered abilities no doubt providing exciting new opportunities for lens flares. But with no script or director attached, insiders believe that a new Superman film is unlikely to appear before 2023.
It’s interesting that Superman, a character instinctively associated with the word “superhero,” is proving difficult to adapt to film in the age of superhero saturation. Is the character’s godlike powers and righteous attitude really too alienating for modern audiences?
That’s usually the argument against Superman, but it doesn’t really explain his sudden absence from the big screen. After all, Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Captain America are incredibly popular, and all share that childlike earnestness, the boundless optimism that defines Superman. So, why isn’t the Man of Steel thriving among his fellow do-gooders?
