Earlier this week McAllister posted a tweet questioning where all the support of having a black superhero was during the release of Catwoman, a movie based on the DC comic by the same name that starred Halle Berry in its lead role.
Michelle Obama says it's about time black kids have a superhero that reflects who they are. Why didn't we hear this when Halle Berry as Catwoman was released years ago? #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/roLhfLAZgz

Catwoman writer Rogers described McAllister's tweet as a “bad take,” admitting even he hasn't been able to watch the entire movie.
As one of the credited writers of CATWOMAN, I believe I have the authority to say: because it was a shit movie dumped by the studio at the end of a style cycle, and had zero cultural relevance either in front of or behind the camera.
This is a bad take. Feel shame. https://t.co/6sth7w38Xx

Also full disclosure: I’ve never watched the movie all the way through in one sitting. I skipped premiere night to shoot @jenni_baird audition footage for GLOBAL FREQUENCY. And they’d fired me anyway for, y’know, snark.
