Zoe Kravitz told she was TOO BLACK for role in The Dark Knight Rises

[Birnin Zana]

That black guy that offers money to kill the Joker.

Dude died like 10 minutes into the movie breh.

 

[Birnin Zana]

I cant think of a lot of female black superheroes period

Storm
Vixen
Monica Rambeau
Misty Knight
Shuri
Cecilia Reyes

Those are the ones I can think of on top of my head.

Only reason it's hard to think of them is cuz, outside of storm, black female superheroes get no consistent push in media. And storm is rarely solo, only in group situations.

There are plenty of black actors in TDK trilogy, but the only black actress I can think of is Christine Adams.

She had a minor role as the Wayne Enterprises secretary Jessica in Batman Begins.

 

[IllustratorMike]

Angela Bassett in that horrible Green Lantern.

At least she provided some eye candy in a subpar film...

To quote Cookie from Life:
"Dat gurl got gams!"

Michael jai white was in the dark knight
Black falcon in the avengers
Sam jackson in every marvel movie since like the hulk and iron man
Vin diesel in guardians

Now try and list the black actresses

Ironically, another Zoe was prominent in a big recent superhero movie, Zoe Saldana in Guardians.

Vivica Fox was in Batman & Robin, lol.

There were a number of black people in TDK movies. And there's already a Zoe Kravitz lookalike in the Gotham tv show.

There's also Jada Pinkett on Gotham.

I forgot about Zoe in Guardians but I don't really consider that a superhero movie as much as a kids movie.

I really wish Jada wouldn't have left Gotham even though her character would've probably been killed off eventually. And Will if the rumors about him asking her to leave the show are true because doesn't want his wife to outshine him.

How would her having that role on that show even put her in the same stratosphere to even have a chance to outshine Will? Has she even been in a movie since Collateral? Gotham ain't even the hottest superhero show. shyt, Gotham doesn't even have a superhero on the show. Will is about to be in another superhero movie. Believe in rumors brehs.

That what I was like when I heard the rumor, but what reason would there be for her dropping out of the show.

You can always spot a racist in these situations. Reminds me of arnold, here's a dude that basically railed all his female co-stars on screen then suddenly when he is cast alongside Vanessa Williams "the role doesn't require it" yeah right you murdering racist

Son have u seen Commando?

 

[Roman Brady]

Son have u seen Commando?

what that half white quarter black/Chinese visibly caucasian looking mulatto that was his co-star? I don't remember them hitting the sheets and neither do you so why mention it?

Zoe looks way to immature to play Catwoman.
Halle ruined Catwoman as as potential opportunity for every black actress.
White actresses are allowed to fail and it won't fukk up the prospects of another white actress but since Halle flopped as Catwoman (never mind that the script and direction was awful) the most we can hope is that someone is open minded enough to give another black actress a chance.

She wasn't trying to play Catwoman though so all of this is irrelevant.
