On another note, I’ve heard that Jon Hamm has expressed interest in playing Batman.

Not sure how I feel about that...now. He would’ve been a far superior choice to Affleck 4 years ago. Now, I just don’t know.

Yeah, but that’s not why the studio will favor him and every aspect of the movie will reflect that.


Disagree. He just has clout and that would be reflected in the role.

They need to do something with the character. Superman is stale. I could see Michael B Jordan brininging something new. That he’s a minority’s doesn’t really register for me one way or the other.
This. MBJ is just a force as an actor. I'd favor him for the role regardless of ethnicity.
He is the kid from Creed, right? Good actor. He would probably do a good job with the role of Superman.

Who cares about Superman’s color? He is a farking space alien, people.


I do hope that he is cast outside the in-progress DCU series of films. I hate when they change actors for a character during the same story arc.

Is that the bad guy off of Black Panther?

If it is hell no. I'll never forgive him for throwing Black Panther off the water fall cliff.

Can ANYONE in this thread explain why liberals are not outraged over a black man playing Superman?

Just trying to figure out if they actually believe the principles they espouse

A lot of the hatedom at this kind of thing comes from the one-dimensional nature of the changes.

Instead of giving the character some depth, they just change the skin tone and/or sex organs and effectively make them into Captain Ethnic instead of an interesting character.


Minority replacement done correctly? Blue Beetle, which went from a middle aged white detective / crimefighter to a teenaged Latino tech based hero who is forcibly bonded with their mechanical scarab, which has its own agenda.

Minority replacement done poorly IMHO? Killing off Vic Savage to replace him with Renee Montoya as The Question so they could have a lesbian Latina superhero. Montoya was an interesting character in her own right but making her a legacy hero cheapened both her and The Question IMHO.
