Not a problem unless he’s gay with a transgender husband

I'm thinking that the "new" Robin will be his half-Native American, half-Hispanic lover. Give it a couple years before they get married, however. And Dick Grayson will do the transgender thing and become Batgirl.

Hey, I can come up with just as deviant ideas as the jackwads at DC.

I think this is good news (if it happens).

With DC defacing a cultural icon such as Batman, doors will open to other companies/individuals who will actually serve the interests of their customers by producing the media that the customers want and are interested in, rather than forcing change down their throats, whether they want it or not.

May the best superhero win!

“I’m certain they just found the best actor for the job that they could, regardless of skin color...”

They’re talking about the comic books, not the next Batman movie. There will be a new actor playing Batman in the next movie and he’ll be white. He’s essentially replacing Ben Affleck who walked away from the role.

First Superfly goes honky. Then Shaft. Then a white Fat Albert and the gang, with a non-date-rape-drugging white Cos.
