Give me your hot take. My hot take is that I don't think a black Batman would work. I think Bruce coming from upper crust white Gotham is an important contrast to demonstrate the creature comforts he's eschewing in his endless quest for justice. I suppose there could be a black Batman after Bruce that he passes the mantle to. Maybe something there.

Was that just me? not exactly this, but in school I read a story about a black boy who wanted to be Prince Charming(?) in the school play. he used skin lightening cream for weeks but it was no use, the part went to a lighter-skinned boy. instead the main character got cast as the bad guy. so, during the play, the main character walked up and punched Prince Charming in the face it turned into an all-out brawl and he was banned from next year's school play but it was worth it --- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high <cite>Drakeryn posted [p:885623324] in White acto...

Murphiroth 08/30/17 12:10:11 AM #50:	The Domino analogy is bad because Domino's skin is a result of experimentation done on her as a child. Has nothing to do with her race. In fact I'm fairly certain it's never been shown what her race actually is, because it doesn't matter to the character. At least with the original example the character's race could potentially matter to the plot! Domino's thing visually is the striking contrast of the literal white skin and black spots and the movie version is just inverting that it seems. --- http://i.imgur.com/aelKAwf.jpg FC - 2852 - 9769 - 0007 My shinies - http://imgur.com/a/uPVUX <cite>Murphiroth posted [p:885696231] in White acto...
