    Re: Untitled Ben Affleck Batman Film

    This post states how I feel the best:

    It’s nothing but laziness. Honestly has anyone noticed they pretty much race changed pre-established characters already or are in talks to? Catwoman, Harvey Dent, poison ivy, commission Gordon, black canary in birds of prey and already made some changes to ones who already appeared like deadshot for one. It’s just blatantly obvious on what Hollywood is doing. People will go right ahead and say “what’s wrong with that? We need diversity! Race doesn’t define their character”. It’s lazy writing. Changing race of characters who have been pre-established for many years and now in these days of race politics and political agendas if anyone was to say something they get attacked....

    If you support it, your praised. If you dont like it, your labled, it's very annoying. So go ahead and lable me for my opinion.

    It's like my hate of Miles Morales, no it's not because he is a different race, it's because at the time Peter dies and then boom, New spiderman with pretty much same backstory and new powers before fans were even done with Peter's funeral.

    Then it is forced down everyone's throat to love him with writing that always ends with #shockstun.

    I'll still see the movie but it doesnt mean I cant be like everyone else and judge the casting.

    -end rant.

      Ali is going to crush Blade and Wright is a spot on Gordon
      I loved Ali in Luke Cage but I hope he beefs up a bit for blade. I mean he was almost blade in Alita: Battle Angel, lol.

        Candy there have been a over a dozen white Commissioner Gordans in Batmans history. So you get all upset that they change it once?


        You have not commented if you think Jeffrey Wright is a good actor or not. Is really skin tone what matters to you or if this actor can pull off a made up character in a fictional story?

          All he has is rationalizations with the pre-built excuses about getting attacked for his 'opinion' when people call a spade a spade. Not worth the time. 'lazy writing', lol, I guess writers are casting people now.

          Wait, let me look at the script:
          EXT. DARK ALLEYWAY

          BLACK COMMISSIONER GORDON: Batman, it appears we have another mystery on our hands

            Ignore Candy, y'all. He's made it clear time and time again where he stands with this and nobody is gonna change his mind.

                    Your case would be stronger if you told us exactly WHY Commissioner Gordon has to be white to be Commissioner Gordon. Or any of the other characters you mentioned for that matter.

                        Halle Berry has already grandfathered the casting range options (no matter how bad the movie was), so all should be good in Candyland!
