I think a Cyborg movie... could work.

In the recent books, Cyborg ‘s became this local hero of Detroit which can definitely serve as his Gotham or Metropolis.
This definitely could be the setting of the film.

Since Victor in ZSJL resides in Gotham, maybe he moves to Detroit to keep a low profile or to meet up with a scientist (since his father is dead) for further research on his abilities. It seems far enough for a contained story.

This can touch upon race and urban drama which Victor, who originally comes from a privileged family, can reflect on people who aren’t in his position.
But then at the same time, he could be trying to keep a low profile which can create fascinating drama.

Victor can use a way to hide his features by creating a projection or like an image inducer, which can give Ray more face time.
Snyder said this isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

As for the villains and storyline in specifics, the Phantom Limbs are the way to go.

Ray even agrees.

In short, the Phantom Limbs are a team of special op forces with cybernetic enhancements. They would be a perfect counterpart to Cyborg in Detroit.

My choice of director is @JGDillard
who knows how to tell a very POV-driven, emotional while also slight horror-esque which would be the right tone for Cyborg.

If you don’t believe me, check out Sweetheart on Netflix.
I think Detroit would be perfect for Cyborg where he can be the hometown hero and tell one amazing self-contained story where he can help people in ways Batman and Superman necessarily can’t.

Maybe Victor can open a new Star Labs in Detroit to help the community to commemorate his father after the events that would transpire in the film.

A Cyborg film like this can touch upon themes of race, mental health, disabilities, with slight elements of body horror, and urban youth.
