I don't know about that. Fans of the comics definitely heard of him. If you only ever watched TV shows / movies you might not know.

Eh no. Plastic man can shape shift along with being stretchy. Haven't seen it but heard about him ozzing inside of someone than resolidifying and basically exploding out of them.

With that said plastic man could easily be plastic woman if he wanted to.

Plenty of anti sjws complained about Birds of Prey and Captain Marvel. Also there's far less established female characters than established male characters, so if they want to change the gender of male characters then so be it.

As long as it's obscure characters i dont mind that much. Plastic man bugs me a little cause I liked him and its just difficult picturing the same personality on a woman. (Not saying it cant be done) but sometimes a reinvinting of a character is in order if they aint that popular to begin with.

Doesn't Elastigirl shape shift into a parachute and a boat during the movie?

Also, seems like a dumb decision to me. And if they want a female led superhero movie, there are already a bunch of good choices. On top of Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn.

How about a fucking Zatanna movie already?

By shape shift I mean he can literally change his face and also create more complicated objects. Like hes been shown to turn his finger into a key to open a door. Which was funny cause he used his middle finger and flipped off the security camera first with his key finger

As long as they keep the personality in tact, that's fine. But hes the kinda person the make himself into an extra sexualized woman to distract people so.. that might be worse.

The wording mentions that its being changed to a female-led vehicle, which might just mean its going to be an ensemble movie, or some other character with Plastic Man as a supporting character (like Nick Fury in Captain Marvel)

The fuck are you talking about? He was a major recurring character in multiple tv shows (and years ago had his own show). I bet you also think most people don't know who Aquaman is.

This so hard. Hopefully it turns into a trainwreck early enough to derail the film entirely and get it back on track.

Well dc doesn't normally do this. They kinda did in titans but they show their was a male dove he just got killed and replaced with a female also kori being black I guess but that one wasnt a big deal as unfortunately no orange people where avalible for the role.

DC at least has female characters in important roles. Marvel was screwed without X-Men or Sue Storm.

A shame their movies usually suck though.

This is a hero who was so unpopular that a writer once made him get literally stretched out across the gears and pipes inside the walls of Arkham for years by the inmates, leaving him twisted, immobile and distorted in agonizing pain until he went insane due to the immense loneliness and suffering

Making him a chick to score points is a borderline insult to women

Would be like a Star Wars reboot that made Jar Jar a black lesbian Muslim

Personally, I love Plastic Man. Hes my favorite hero. He should not be gender swapped to Plastic Woman. Just keep it close to the source material. Its not rocket science.

DC has plenty of women who deserve their own movie. Gender swapping feels more like an insult to those characters. Zatanna could have her own movie with Zatara and Constantine as supporting characters. Renee Montoya as The Question II. Hell, take a risk with Fire & Ice or a rookie Batgirl fighting a lesser known Batman villain such as Killer Moth.
