Lee Daniels intends to make a household name out of the African-American martial arts viral star Super Bitch.
His first step? A feature length film.
Super Bitch rose to social media fame via comedic skits in which he, sporting pink boots, would defend himself from villains from all walks of life.
Little did he know that his talent would see him karate kick his way into Lee’s gaze and find a collaborator in the ‘Empire’ creator who has revealed that he is erecting a movie for the young man as the first phase of a plan he hopes will turn him into a Hollywood giant!

Watch their announcement here.
Unfortunately, the exciting news wasn’t well-received by some who fear Super may be hopping, skipping and jumping into a sea of exploitation.

I don’t know why, but Lee Daniels gives me “casting couch” vibes.

y’all I am crying so hard right now because @hesosoutheast met up with THE Lee Daniels and he is making ‘super bitch’ a actual superhero film! This feels so surreal & it’s not even happening to me! When I tell you I am ECSTATIC for you I mean that from the bottom of my heart ?

Exciting times!
The name alone sends this straight to VHS ? Don’t nobody want to see this coonery. Nobody watches Empire or ghetto àss Star. Cancel all of it
This gonna be hot mess! I dont believe it!
F*** this, I’m happy Sony did Black Spider-Man justice and I’m praying DC gives Static Shock some love after all these years and return back
Hollywood is really pushing this gay and pedophilia around in this country.
Pushing what? People are GAY…there’s nothing to push. Please don’t be raggedy.
Yeah, another stereotype gay character. This time with pink boots. Super B****, i can‘t… the skit was cute and funny and I have mad respect for the guy doing all this s*** in heels, but seriously, I don’t want our community to always be represented by some fem guys and that’s not being meant as a downgrade. But more diversity in the representation of the community would be nice as well
This is so stupid. Making fun of gay people pretty much. Why does a gay superhero have to be effeminate? Stereotype much!? EVery time theres a step taken forward some idiot comes along to take a step back.
