The biggest reason being that we have black superheroes.

TheCyborgNinja 05/29/18 5:24:23 PM #12:	No. Create new leading heroes instead. "Diversifying" existing characters is stupid. Changing history isn't progress, it's changing history. Less iconic ones, or maybe some that have become unpopular and outdated, why not spice them up? Use it as a means to reinvigorate them like Nick Fury and Domino.

Zikten posted... the Waynes can't be black. it wouldn't make sense with their history. they got rich in a racist time. a black family wouldn't rise up to such prestige back then. its fucking fiction jesus christ People care about the stories in their fiction. Still seems like a petty reason to keep Batman white forever Can you explain how a black man in America has ancestors that came to this country rich? can you explain how a fucking alien can use the sun to be strong on earth? oh, is it because in fiction we can bend the rules of reality? This. A lot of fiction fans have weird habit of excepting ridiculous shit and then questioning every little other thing the movie doesn't comment on. Why assume literally every aspect not talked about has to apply to reality when the whole thing is based in fiction.
