It's like "the only way we give you big roles is to let you have a part of a franchise's long history". Meanwhile they still struggle to create fresh/ exciting projects for them really MADE for them instead of "left" to them nearly all the new super heros that will know their peak soon and become this generation's icons are given to white actors. Really a fake egality like when they add a minor pic character and give the good roles to the white ones imo. T H I S . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to make an impact...don't change what's already existed...make something brand new and create your own legacy...is that too much to ask?

vitoburrrito 629 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I don’t see how whiteness is an integral part of the Batman or James Bond characters. They could totally change the race/ethnicity of these characters and it wouldn’t have to impact the character’s backstory, personality, or abilities. I also think that POC should be offered new and exciting roles and not just roles previously made iconic by white people. I think the industry could improve by doing both.

Oriane 19,961 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Everyone is talking about race, meanwhile I'm wondering, isn't James Bond supposed to be British? In terms of consistency, can someone even work for the secret services of a country if they're not from there?

Race isnt fundamental to the character therefore making a black, latino or brown etc batman is not of any relevant consequence, it doesnt matter @TimisaMonster Now that movie that made a Black Queen Elisabeth (or Victoria? I cant remember)... Something like that that to me is a lot more odd and in contexts like that i agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enissa11 2,984 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 break one "stereotype" to replace it by another? as a latin american that's what he is, the embodiment of the stereotypical latino, and anyway, i'm all about representation of course, but it makes me laugh that he is entitled to play this roles just because he's latino, he should be focus first on studying and improving the craft because he has no relation with acting at all.

Roughhouse Dandy 9,089 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 So when I was little, some cringy pretend games me and my cousins/ friends played all the time was either Batman or Vampires and Werewolves. Except I could never be batman because batman wasn't brown and I could never be a vampire because vampire where pale white. Often times speaking about representation, the saying "you can't dream it if you can't see it" pops up. For that reason, seeing a brown batman would be lovely. And it WOULD be helpful representation. This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I still believe it would be nice to have more than just a cis hetero Caucasian American batman as long as we're getting a new movie about him every 2 or 3 years 🥲 This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss.
