Even though a large majority of comic book characters are white (and male), studios are looking to update characters to better represent the current state of the world.

Leftists want to ruin everything. They would rather be seen as virtuous hiring people that look different than they do, not based on any talent whatsoever. Why don't minorities realize that leftists see them as incredibly stupid and incapable of doing anything on their own?

I think some minorities are realizing that now. Many of them were tweeting about it under the #walkaway hashtag. Hopefully more people will wake up.

“Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, for example, is very different from the traditional Arthur Curry look.”

I don’t see Jason Moma as a nod to “diversity”.

Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is their highest grossing and best critically received movie.

And it was, at best, a pretty good movie. That tells you how bad it's been for DC films.

Meanwhile, Suicide Squad introduced Robbie as Harley Quinn, and the film still made over $700 million at the box office despite a critical lashing.

A well-deserved lashing. I can only hope they lost a fortune on that piece of crap. They probably didn't, though.

Margot Robbie is known for taking off all her clothes in “Wolf of Wall Street” and playing a psychotic killer named Harley Quinn in a Batman movie.
She should not really should be demanding anything at all.
People like her wreck tv shows and movies.

She was in Suicide Squad which you can say was a Batman movie, but he wasn’t the main character.

I saw the movie and thought it was mediocre as have been almost all the movies set in the DC Universe. The only exception I can think of was The Dark Knight, but only because of the Joker character. Heath Ledger, was it?

Huntress is also a candidate to appear and is ethnically ambiguous in the comics.

Really? Huntress is the daughter of Batman & catwoman..they're both pretty Caucasian the last I checked!

Aquaman is blond, Jason is not. Diversity.
