It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't.

I identify as a trans-black man so I can't be racist.

No casting news. People already upset about hypothetical black people.

You guys get so pissed off about black people. I don't know if this is SSF or Stormfront.

Yeah this turned into a real ****ed up conversation. Batman can't be Black because there's no contrast between his face and the mask? WTF

Well, when you put it like that it sounds kind of bad.

Still, it was a long time ago.

No big deal.

You do know there are Latinos who identify as black, right?

And boys who identify as girls. It's a big world.

You said nu-males.

In Spanish that would be: Numales (Noo-mal-lez)

I didn't say he can't be black, I said I wouldn't personally buy it and that it wouldn't look good. How is that "****ed up"? Batman/Bruce Wayne has been white for 78 years, it would be jarring for him to suddenly become inverted in the mask and have an ebony chin.

Same deal with other characters that have masks/cowls with part of the face exposed like Wolverine, Catwoman, Daredevil, Cap, the Flash, Batgirl etc. Contrast is a critical element in the look of these characters. Contrast with opposite features like light and dark create visual interest. That's why Batman looks best in chiaroscuro lighting where his mask is illuminated by overhead lighting.









It's not racist to say this is jarring. You could put Idris Elba in there and it still wouldn't work.









You have an avatar and sig combo that shows Batman through the years. Some things have changed such as black to blue, black bat to yellow oval, different artists/styles etc. etc. but all the key elements haven't changed for good ole' Bruce Wayne. They have the same look, same basic origin and same ethnicity. If a comic, cartoon or movie suddenly changed that for whatever reason, there would be nothing wrong with people finding it odd.

If Apollo Creed was cast white would it throw you?

Or Shaft?

Or the 4th Ghostbuster?


It would me.

Two of the three aren't very good examples. Both Creed and Zeddemore could theoretically be white characters, they just aren't
Shaft being part of the Blaxploitation genre on the other hand was explicitly made to be such.

I think Batman should be Somali.

If characters like Blade, Bishop, Luke Cage, Storm, Black Panther, Cyborg, were suddenly white, I'd feel the same way. It wouldn't look or feel right.

The exception would be the Green Lantern. Assuming WB gets to another Justice League movie (lol) and features Green Lantern, I'd actually like to see the John Stewart version. I always preferred him over Hal (who I think was actually a racist ironically enough), especially with the Justice league cartoon.

R-r-right here Doc.

Same. The cartoon was my definitive JL for a long time, and it still is, so I've always preferred John Stewart.

And I think that may have been Green Guardsman you were talking about, right? I can't remember tho.
