Early reactions calling Black Mask best DC villain in years.


And the best one in the DCEU thus far. Considering Ewan McGregor was not one of my choices, that's encouraging.

Plus he's gay. https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/birds-prey-portray-black-mask-gay/

Black Mask, the movie’s main antagonist, will reportedly be portrayed as homosexual. Though his sexuality is never explicitly stated, multiple sources have told We Got This Covered that the sexual tension between him and fellow villain Victor Zsasz will be palpable and the way he acts in general makes it pretty clear that he’s gay.

I always thought Black Mask should have been the villain of The Dark Knight Rises. Batman Begins was about Batman taking out organized crime in Gotham, and then the introduction of masked villains in The Dark Knight was his next hurdle. Black Mask is a synthesis of those things: a supervillain who rules in the mobland. It just seemed like a natural progression to me.

I'm excited that McGregor is playing the role.

Well that's kind of a low bar, isn't it.
