Static Shock Movie In The Works!


DC Comics is working on making a Static Shock movie.

I really hate this Blogger interface. I have to make my posts a copy and paste from WordPad. Cause if I do it through this interface, it will not embedded Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram videos and images. Anytime I try to place a picture on the interface, it mysteriously disappears or appears at the bottom of the posting. I have to navigate through a bunch of unnecessary buttons to at least adjust the picture to fit the posting. On top of that, in its HTTL format is worthless. 

Blogger is really messed up right now and I don't think understand that the old interface was suitable.

I will keep reminding you that it's difficult to post now that Google rolled out their new interface. It deletes posts. Trust me, I am one of millions who are really not feeling this. 

Google will find its reckoning.

Nonetheless I keep saying this.

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

It would make the late Dwayne McDuffie proud that DC Comics and Warner Bros is working on a movie based off the superhero Static Shock. McDuffie and Denys Cowan created the DC legendary hero. 

It is being talked about and it has a major backing from actor Michael B. Jordan.

The actor, 33 is set to produce the movie based off the Milestone Comic character, The Hollywood Reporter first announced on Friday.

The star, who starred as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the Fantastic Four and as Killmonger/N'Jadaka in the Black Panther movie will join legendary filmmaker Reginald Hudlin in this project.

"I'm proud to be a part of building a new universe centered around Black superheroes; our community deserves that," Jordan told the THR. "I'm proud to be a part of building a new universe centered around Black superheroes; our community deserves that."

Static first became widely known in the early-2000s animated series Static Shock on the WB Network (now known as The CW).

The comic followed a high school student Virgil Hawkins, who transforms into Static, a superhero with electromagnetic powers after he gets exposed to a strange gas.

The series gained traction for being one of the only animated shows with a Black leading character.

The movie was floated around for years. But now that we have a confirmation, it seems like DC Films and Warner Bros will greenlight the project and give an opportunity for Static to shine.

The show premiered on Kids WB and is a part of the DCAU. It had crossover with episodes of Batman The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. The voice of Virgil/Static Shock was played by comedian Phil LaMarr and he admits that it is a step in the right direction to promote more Black heroes and heroines.

The show lasted four seasons and had 52 episodes.

Static has his best friend Richie Foley who is known as Gear assisting him in battles against Ebon and his army of Metahumans. Gear who is also a supporting hero was not revealed as homosexual in the animated series. Frieda Goren is one of Static's love interest. Daisy Watkins would be his second love interest. Static has often relied on the advice of his father Robert and sister Sharon for guidance. He often kept his superpowers hidden from his father and sister during the first half of the series. He revealed his powers to Sharon.

His first villain was Rubber-Band Man who is Ebon younger brother Adam Evans. Ebon (known as Ivan Evans) had powers over his brother and threatened death if he failed.

DC Films, Warner Bros. Pictures and Milestone Media will be assisting Joran's Outlier Society pictures in the project. It will likely be out in 2023 if COVID-19 doesn't affect the project.
