Like most Batman films? I’ve never seen anyone complain about that before on here. Yet, as soon as we get one black guy cast, we got a bunch of people complaining. So who are the real pearl clutching whiners?

Sounds about right to me. I think it'll be very similar to his Apes films. I think half the people will like it, and half won't

fatkid is dumb for immediately derailing this thread


I was mostly joking. I thought it was obvious with the "cultural appropriation" part. These snowflakes just can't handle that my one-liner was true.

You realize that JK Simmons is playing Gordon in the HBO Max Batgirl series with non white Barbara right?


So...your strategy was to prove that they're getting rid of white, redheaded Barbara?

Nope. I mean Batgirl, because Jim Gordon.

How is that a political agenda? He's a great actor. Do you not think its possible that they hired him because he's a good actor? Are there not enough white characters in the show for you?


If you think this man is a great actor, then you should be even more incensed by it. It's the same problem with casting Idris Elba as Heimdall. Why waste a "great actor" just to check a diversity box on what is essentially a background character?

I have no problem with black characters in comic books. Steel is one of my favorite comic book characters. I really wish they would make a good movie with him that isn't animated. Cyborg is a great character too. Jim Gordon is white.

ETA: Your reaction to race swapping major characters who are white should be the same as the leftist reaction would be if they race swapped Black Panther.

Adorable that you didn't want include my full post. Wonder why that was...

Also adorable that you don't think the left would have melted forever if RGB wasn't at least replaced by another woman. Equating how Biden and his handlers make decisions to how Trump (and frankly most other presidents as well) did it is laughably ignorant.

Direct from the potato himself (maybe anyway)

quote:

President Biden @POTUS 1h United States government official

Today, the Vice President and I met with Senator Durbin and Senator Grassley on the upcoming Supreme Court vacancy. I look forward to nominating someone with extraordinary experience and integrity — someone who will make history as the first Black woman nominated to the Court.
This level of pandering does it for you I guess. Nothing but checking diversity quota boxes with the admin. But it's ok to make decisions based on race and gender when you are from the correct party.

She could easily be black.
Or white and adopted.
Or white and from his wife's previous marriage.
Or Alfred's niece visiting from England yet missing an English accent.

Received a text from a source who’s seen #TheBatman calling it a “complex” film, comparing it to: ZODIAC CHINATOWN THE USUAL SUSPECTS THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS Source also stating it will be “controversial” and people will discuss it “endlessly” Thoughts?



I haven’t heard that it’s controversial at all. I’ve heard it just has a different third act than most superhero movies that don’t exactly include a final showdown or battle scene with a villain that most do. And that’s from ViewerAnon who is pretty consistent as well. The longer run time is also testing very well with audiences
