The hot gossip coming out of comic book shows this weekend from a number of prominent sources, is that in the summer of 2020 leading into 2021, DC Comics is planning to bring us a black Batman. Not Bruce Wayne, but someone else donning the cowl and cape.
Who this new Batman will be, I don’t know. All I have been told is that it won’t be Duke Thomas, the young man previously teased as taking on the role of Robin and Batman to come.
Marvel Comics has given us a black/Latino Spider-Man with Miles Morales, popularised in the Into The Spider-Verse movie. Sam Wilson took on the role of Captain America, reflected in the Avengers: Endgame movie. And Nick Fury has been replaced in the Marvel Universe by his black son, Nick Fury, Jr, reflecting the casting of Samuel L Jackson in the Marvel movies. While in Doomsday Clock, DC Comics’ unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, the new Rorschach is a black man, and son of the original Rorschach’s psychiatrist. It looks like the mainstream DC Comics Universe may be heading in a similar direction with Batman. Could this also find itself reflected in the DC movies?

Not a problem unless he’s gay with a transgender husband and drives a Prius.

Why don’t they just make all characters Black. Well that would not work as they need some White girls so they can have inter racial couples.

Yeah, these thing shappen from time to time. Since DC has multiple universes with different versions of the same hero, it is no big deal.

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

I’ll be waiting for White Shaft(that doesn’t read aloud well...).
If aliens watched US TV, they would think Blacks and homos are 80% of the country, and all White men are retarded or evil.

I see Samuel L. Jackson mentioned in the article. A while back, there was a thread here about a female 007. And people started suggesting various actors to play 007. One was Samuel L. Jackson.
I thought that would be great:
Bond. James Mothaf**kin' Bond.

62 year old Batman is no prob. Steve is very young looking, and what makes Steve so lovable is his blackness. Honestly, he’d be perfect for the part, and they could make it funny. Just let him be himself.
Also, his daughter is a very lovely lady.
