Michael Bay Was Reportedly Eyed To Direct A ‘Superman’ Film Before James Gunn’s DC Universe Takeover (UPDATED)

Could Michael Bay have been the perfect fit for Superman? The infamous director was apparently eyed to join the DC Universe before James Gunn got the job.

One of the most historic days of in comic fandom history was when fans learned that James Gunn would be helming his very own Superman movie, ushering in a brand new age for the DC Universe after a long period of darkness. Michael Bay is often loathed in fandom spaces due to his overly serious takes on childhood franchises like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers. It’s likely history would have repeated himself if Warner Bros. approached him about brining the iconic character back to the forefront of the DC Universe, as he’s made it clear that he has no plans to direct any superhero movies anytime soon.
