I personally HATE when they cast traditionally white heroes as black because its just an affirmative action "we threw a bone to you ******s" type thing. They won't put the resources into developing an actual ORIGINAL black character with his/her own origins, history, and identity because that would take too much effort. Nah fukk that give me a Black Panther or Power Man movie over a fukking "Black" Johnny Storm:what: or "black" Spider-Man :why:


Their are just too many actual BLACK comic book heroes that could be developed for film or television to worry about recasting Cac characters as black. If you want a wise-cracking, teenaged hero who deals with the "great power, great responsibility" motive you've got Static Shock. You want a dark, sometimes brooding, no nonsense hero who comes from a tragic but wealthy background? Black Panther. The studios will simply NOT invest in heroes that in some way represent US in SPITE of the fact that Blade was the franchise that got Marvel to consider the validity of comic based movies....

Here's a ideal why won't all the people who want Bruce to be black check out Batwing (a black Batman)......buy 5 copies of each issues, make it DCs best sellers and stop bytching about who should be black

I use to think like this, then i was like its not fair to the character. He was made white, and thats how I want him portrayed. It keeps the link with the source material.

I feel as blacks, we should just make our own heroes instead of hoping white Hollywood does it for us. My homey and I are actually throwing ideas together for heroes that are black.

Why when black super hero's are mentioned, with the Luke Cage and Black Panther, everyone always skips or sleeps on John the black Green Lantern. (John Stewart I believe).

If he could be portrayed like he was in JL I think that would be dope. He was like one of my top 5 fav characters on that show and honestly I would love to see a movie about him more than BP or Luke

I remember when rumors were going around that the next bond would be Idris Elba and I thought that was a great idea.
