It wouldn't shite on anything. That's over dramatic. Bat,an would just be a black dude for 2-3 films, and then they would just be on to the next guy. People would still watch, the movies would still live or die based on qaulity.

And the Blade argument is weak too. No one knows that's a comic. It's only known as a movie, and if was recast as the rock, it would be no problem. I know the rock isn't white, but I just can't think of a muscle bound white action star that would be the lead in a tent post like that. Channing Tatum perhaps? I dunno, he seems soft.

I think a decent bit of people know blade is a comic. I wouldnt care if he was recast as a white guy, as long as he was good. Just like I don't think it would be bad to do Elba as batman. As I said I'm not even saying Elba is the best choice but he would be better than a bunch of people. Anyone who thinks bloom would be better is probably lying to themselves though.

I also don't think Elba absolutely needs to play a black character to redefine or own them or whatever.
