At the Batman Legacy panel at DC Fandome today, Jim Lee introduced John Ridley who talked about writing a new Batman series, with Nick Derington, bets known for his work on Mister Miracle, Batman Universe and Doom Patrol. The comic book will, as John Ridley put it "a slightly greater than 47% chance that he will be a person of colour" and that he will be using the comic to "delve into the Fox family" and that "Lucius Fox has been at Batman's side the longest." So
Luke Fox as Batman. Taken a while to get here.
John Ridley is lined up to write a Batman story in Batman: The Joker War Zone #1 with Luke Fox, out at the end of the month. Could this be the launch of the new Batman?

Of course! Every other white male superhero is being turned into a non-white hero, so why not ruin Batman? Get woke, go broke, DC, it's not just a slogan.

Fine with me. But not good enough in todays society. Whats required is a blank lesbian transsexual child molester alien Crippled Batman. (The child milestone part is a natural for Batman anyway)

Then there was Halle Berry as Patience Phillips Catwoman (not Selina Kyle Catwoman, and not exactly a villain)...
Eartha Kitt as, presumably, Selina Kyle Catwoman...

So it would have to be aqua man

I want to see a new reboot of Planet of the Apes with all black actors, since it was clearly cultural appropriation for Roddy McDowell to play an ape. 🙄 Is the sarc tag necessary?

Green Lantern was about the Core and the ring and lantern. The ring chose it’s wearer.
People confuse some characters with who they are and ignore changes. It’s not like saying Bruce Wayne or James Bond will be played by a black actor. But a black actor could be Batman or 007.

Yup, though some versions are so iconic, they will not be superseded. Wally West was supposed to succeed Barry Allen as the Flash, but it didn't really stick. And some of us still prefer the Jay Garrick "Golden Age" Flash version.

Man that’s why they invented Black Panther, a whole ancient African culture smarter wiser and better than all the corrupted ignorant White people and now they are gonna take Batman too? Yeah I can see it a multi generational Black uber wealthy family going back decades and having major control of a huge predominantly White city..................oh yeah makes perfect revisionist DC sense right up there with their replacing iconic heroes with queer versions. They will most certainly get my entertainment dollars with such .................ah hell it’s bullshit!

Well since they’ve been grabbing ‘any’ black and putting them in rolls they just don’t fit I’m getting really good at not watching if a black person is featured.....Of course morgan Freidman is always the exception. He’s certainly earned his place as an outstanding actor. His slolution on race is “You stop calling me a black man and I’ll stop calling you a white man...Just quite talking about it!”
