The Official Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Movie Thread

[Uno]

Always thought two face was black thanks the animated series

 

[Jazzy B.]

i just don't think he was black.

even superman was a lil dark on that show. dude was lookin like ricky ricardo.

He didn't look Black at all, instead just tanned, like a Mediterranean it was the same with Superman. He looked like Dean Cain. As for Luthor they based the design off Telly Savalas.

It's obvious DC is not a progressive brand.

Hopefully Batman gets token Robin and Jimmy is black that way they can Marvel.

 

[Ain't That Something]

well they are and they aren't. it's hard to just ignore 70 years of visual iconography.

assume a mexican dude were cast as superman in the next movie and a chinese dude were cast as batman. i could be wrong but i just don't think the fandom at large would be universally behind it. no matter how hard they try and cape for ethnic diversity.

But superman is Mexican

Well superman is Mexican though

You're too excited you're not even typing coherent sentences. Take a deep breath. lol
DC is to shook to even develop a Robin. So yeah don't hold your breath.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

Pretty sure that is his kid.

It is. He played young rorschach in watchmen

You can ignore it when the visual iconography is the way it is because they weren't allowed any other way breh. This isn't a thing where these characters are white because they just had to be white or they're defined by it; they're white because they weren't allowed to be any other race because any other race was thought to be less intelligent and less advanced and just less than a white man or white woman. And if you want to say you can't ignore visual iconography,since when has batman been shorter than his love interest? Since when has batman had a receding hairline? Since when has lex been a small cat like Jesse Eisenberg is in this movie? Or to your earlier point, since when has batman been bigger and taller than superman? You can ignore certain things but you can't decide to make lex black the same way they decided to make perry black?

Again I got no beef with it at all but I don't buy your logic because changes are made and characters are played with and interpreted in different ways on the regular now. I remember the mini outrage when they made perry black all while people seemingly forgot they cast one of the best actors around to play him in Laurence Fishburne

 

[Won Won]

On all I love, I swear Lex was black

Same here, although I don't think it was ever alluded to

 

[Won Won]

A Black Superman would be piff though. lol

 

[Lefty Gunz]

I used to think Harvey dent on BTAS was black or at least mulatto

 

[Chris Cool]

he was black too.

 

[MartyMcFly]

he was black too.

So it wasn't just me.

 

[Ain't That Something]

So it wasn't just me.

Breh like I said in another thread a lot of Tim verse characters are racially ambiguous. For the longest Lex was black and will always be black to me
