Why Another White Guy As Batman?


Missed opportunity

reply

Because white is right.

An opportunity for what exactly? To take another white character and change them to another race for what? As some kind of revenge? So, to prove how wrong it was to change characters to be white in the past, white characters should be changed to other races? Great way to prove a point. Or if not revenge, then what, an opportunity to attempt to bring caucasians down and raise up another race by stealing their creations and changing the race to “help” which ever group of people you feel allegiance to? In the hopes you didn’t write this just to stir some stuff up, what was your actual thought process, I’m honestly curious. I hope you surprise me and actually respond with a thought out reason. I’d enjoy to actually hear why people think changing movie characters’ races and sexes would make a difference in the world, because so far I’ve only heard bs from people about this topic.

Him or Supes are likely never gonna be white

I was hoping for a crocodile or golden retriever but I never get what I want.

Why not a white guy as Black Panther?

reply

Wouldn't that be considered racist?

reply

Double standard

I don't think the PC Police would allow anybody to say that.

reply

They'll accept Catwoman with a black actress, and Aquaman with Jason Mamoa, but there's a certain group of internet sad men who will riot if Batman was black.

reply

It's people like you that perpetuate racism.

reply

they would never riot because that would require leaving their basements and interacting with other humans

How dare a white person play a white character!

I believe it's cause despite some great and exciting movies, they haven't actually gotten Batman right yet. Until they finally nail Batman, actually putting the comics to screen, we're not gonna see them play with the formula. But that's coming. I'm sure we'll have a different race in the cowl in the future.
