Okay, it's impractical in the sense that she's a big purple target. But superhero costumes aren't really practical with the exception of characters who wear all black. Even then, they'd need to have their face completely covered. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The only problem I have with Batgirl, Batwoman, etc., is that Catwoman should be the best woman at fighting. She has the legacy thing going for her and cats are hella more athletic than bats. There are dozens of martial arts movies with Cat in the title. The same can't be said for bats. ... Copied to Clipboard!

3PiesAndAFork posted... I feel like sometimes it barely matters. Idris Elba as Heimdall was phenomenal casting, but the thing about Heimdall is that he doesn't really strike most audiences as "iconic" for his original appearance in the comics. When characters are a bit lesser-known, it doesn't matter who plays them, but I feel like characters who are very well liked and have a distinct appearance that hasn't changed in decades should be cast to look like the artist's original vision of the character. I have no issue with casting actors and actresses of different ethnicities, as long as it's not being done just for publicity and activist cred...but too much of the time that's exactly why it's being done. Especially in the context of comic books and their offshoots; they've kinda gone out of their way recently to fill out an inclusivity checklist with every new project, and even though it's not the end of the world, it's kind of an eye-rolling situation. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

LinkDaLunatic posted... the fact they aren't even noticing this shit tells the real story I mean, "Redhead" is an aesthetic that includes hair color but isn't only hair color. Dying your hair red doesn't actually make you a redhead (and yes, I know actresses dye their hair for a role all the time, and even Kirsten Dunst did it)...the thing is, by virtue of this casting, the characters are no longer natural redheads. Now they're just girls/women who dyed their hair red. It's a different feeling, that's all. lolife67 posted... you never complain about non-red heads as long as they're still white. Also, kind of an odd conclusion to draw. I don't mind other hair colors/ethnicities/etc. but it does feel weirdly reductive when nobody seems to mind that redheaded characters are getting weirdly targeted and scrubbed out of film representation lately. Redheads are real people, you know? Don't they also deserve representation? --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Regarding the race-swap, I get it. Sometimes, I would rather them simply use black characters, too. But on the other hand, despite an 80-year history, there are almost no black people in Batman comics.

Batman has a packed cast of characters as it is. The options here are to omit an existing character for the sake of introducing a new character to meet a diversity quota or giving an existing character a cosmetic change. I'd much rather have a Black Mary Jane Watson or Selina Kyle than a "Michelle" or "Patience Phillips." I think DC made the right choice. ... Copied to Clipboard!
