Not cool. Some things are traditional. White kids need heroes too; even fantasy heroes.

There’s no reason DC couldn’t write and produce a new character similar to Superman that’s not white. Choose the color/race/culture. Doesn’t matter. This new Kryptonian could be from a different family. He could have ended up on another planet but visits earth and our own Superman. Could be an whole new franchise to explore.

There are better ways to do things than cancel white males everywhere you look. Frankly I’m sick of Pedowood doing this.

I like the idea of a black Batman. A big strong guy with no super powers and is the World’s Greatest Detective. Plus, he has got lots of super cool high and low tech toys at his disposal to go get the bad guys. My hope is that he does not parrot the Democrat Party Line. If he does then the effort will be garbage. If he stays away from politics and deals with a complex series of Halloween style crazy criminals he will be incredible. Best of luck Black Batman.

DC long ago made it clear that there is an endless supply of versions of all its characters.

First, when they decided to have a young Clark Kent being an adolescent superhero in Smallville (Superboy).

Then they added Supergirl, whose parents survided the Krypton explosion ... and Krypto the Superdog ... Streaky the Super Cat ... Comet the Super horse ... The Kandorian league of Substitute Supermen ... Superman robots ... Earth 2 Superman, Earth S Superman ... Earth SQR(PI) Superman.

In the '70s they came up with a black Green Lantern (it was established that the universe is filled with Green Lanterns deputized bu those littles blue guys from Oa)., female Speedy (Green Lantern's sidekick) ... etc etc

A black Batman could simply be yet another adopted ward who was a successor to Bruce Wayne. That doesn't particularly bother me. I am wondering when they will come up with a male Wonder Woman?

A Black Batman? How boring. How about a Black/Latino/Asian/Gender Fluid/Homeless BatPerson?

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 today’s society. What’s required is a blank lesbian transsexual child molester alien Crippled Batman. (The child milestone part is a natural for Batman anyway)

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?
