The studio wants and looking for the most diverse cast as possible. Just such a strategy for future films in general. Some characters are waiting for changes in the images. For example, as with the Black Canary in Birds of Prey movie.Reeves himself had to refuse some preferences(like Vanessa Kirby).So...
Catwoman. WOC type.No latinas.Fancastings excluded(Gonzalez,de Armas,Hudgens). Names in the list(not all): Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Nathalie Emmanuel,Vanessa Morgan.Also Zazie Beetz was mentioned but it is unlikely to happen.Zoe Kravitz did not pass. WB wants to offer Rihanna a different role in the future(Poison Ivy).And yes the character will also be WOC type.
James Gordon. Yes, Reeves wanted to see Mahershala Ali but Marvel with Blade were faster.And Ali himself initiated the deal. Jamie Foxx and Giancarlo Esposito as alternatives. They also claim for other roles. If the deal takes place then Barbara Gordon character in the future will definitely be also WOC.
As for the rest of the Batman rogues.There are no casting restrictions.The list has no boundaries.
I dislike it when white characters are recast as black
Caleb Fisher
Jesus fucking Christ, they gave up Jeremy Irons and JK Simmons for this
Robert Carter
Have you tried not being racist today??
Chase Rogers
It’s okay to be white
Robert Williams
>Catwoman. WOC type.No latinas. >No latinas That's racist. >Barbara Gordon character in the future will definitely be also WOC. STOP BLACKDIRTYING AND NIGGERING MY GINGERS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just be open and say you want a mixed-race actress for God's sake.
Connor Anderson
Isn't this supposed to be in the DCEU? You can't just make Gordon black. What, did he have vitiligo?
Leo Ortiz
>dc will make a movie about a white guy beating and fucking black people Source: OP's ass
Jackson Garcia
Eartha Kitt is the greatest Cat Woman of all time so whatever make her black it doesn't matter, but Rihanna can fucking die in a ditch that bitch can't act for shit
Jamie Foxx is indicative of a terrible movie, always has been. If he's actually in the running to be cast then this will just up an kill the Batman franchise all together which is fine by me maybe they'll actually have to try and write some good comics for once instead of the stale barf they've been pushing for the last 15 years.
Hudson Ross
DCEU doesn't exist anymore
Alexander Wright
fuck

It's the jewish agenda, it's important to normalise the idea of a 'super diverse population' because of globalism, ie the eradication of national and ethnic identity, with an exception for jews of course.
If you utter anything negative about israel or zionism you are a dirty antisemite.
Kayden Morris
...and dropped.
Hunter Powell
Except when a hwyte woman is recast as black. That's hit as hell.
Carson Cruz
Catwoman is the only one i can except as black because she has been portrayed that way in the past. she must have short hair hepburn style. Everything else is shit, from the blackwashing of ginger characters to the overexposure of mulattos. The only other batman villian i can see as black would be two face due to the scrapped billy dee casting.
Austin Sanchez
>Catwoman is the only one i can except as black because she has been portrayed that way in the past
So would it be a problem if they did it to Gordon now, if it's only okay if they've done it before? By your own logic says once it's done, it's okay to do it in the future.
Jack Cooper
now no, now they'll draw attention the fact they're black, back in the day the characters were written as if it was completely normal they were just acting a part not acting a black part. that's the only reason it's kind of ok for cat woman to be black now, it was already done well.
i guarantee you they'll push black gordon as getting shit cuz he's black instead of angry "turn in your badge mendoza" normal black cop from the 80's.
that shit doesn't fucking belong in super hero movies, especially DC, race baiting was always Marvel fag territory DC would have just had everyone be treated normally regardless the way it should be.
Sebastian Nguyen
i just dont see gordon as black its that simple. if they wanted a black cop character then cast aaron cash or crispus allen and dont make montaya an old hag . catwoman has been black multiple time and it can fit her character so its fine.
Easton Lopez
TLDR, muh identity politics
Every fucking time it's you fuckers whining about the same imaginary thing.
At this point they should just go all in for muh diversity and make Batman black too
Matthew Jenkins
Black Babs...
Just end it already. Make Superman Chinese, The Flash Indian and Green Arrow Mexican.
Grayson Adams
If they end up doing Birds Of Prey v Gotham City Sirens
>Batgirl - Black
>Black Canary - Black
>Huntress - White
>Harley Quinn - White
>Catwoman - Black
>Poison Ivy - Black
Aaron Wright
What a shitshow.
Liam Nguyen
This. Not supporting it anymore at all. I'm done with these people.
Daniel Powell
You could say the same for the people randomly racebending and genderbending characters. How can you complain about the people responding to what the identity politik obsessed studios do?
Adrian Taylor
>WAAAAH NON-WHITE PEOPLE EXIST AND GET ACTING JOBS >No one questions OP's lack of source.
Still wishing Moot had shut this site down before leaving.
Levi Sanders
Kalergi plan.
Jace Wood
>wah people say things I don't like You could just leave, faggot.
Ian Torres
mark my words within 10 years they will have a movie with an entirely race- and gender-bent cast inverting timeless classic characters for the sake of it
Levi Martinez
I’m sure your voice will be heard and will be the tipping point that brings the fall of Hollywood
See you at the premier, user! My turn to buy the popcorn!
Jackson Rivera
Harvey Dent was black in Batman 89, we would have had a black Two Face earlier than the Lego Batman Movie.
Bentley Diaz
Randomly? Its been a thing forever, and complaining just got a "shut up nerd." or "I dont care." until it became trendy to bitch about it by the politically obsessed.
Thomas Phillips
>James Gordon. Yes, Reeves wanted to see Mahershala Ali Great, just completely change an iconic character. Why don't they just make a new chief of police who is black instead?
Mason Adams
yea and why no latinas? that was....shocking? why cant catwoman be latina?
Jack Davis
>Why don't they just make a new chief of police who is black instead? >Having an issue with black police chiefs t. Underage
Samuel Robinson
>because she has been portrayed that way in the past but if that is the case, then what about setting the same precident for other characters that was set for catwoman? im sure people were just as mad when eartha played her
Isaac Williams
Cool, do what they want. I just won't watch. No big deal.
Justin Rodriguez
>No Latinas This has to be a joke right? Selina is Latina by fucking canon and dont give me that she is italian/greek bullshit she still latin and you know it how the fuck are they so ignorant about 1 character's story? i will never know.
Would you complain if they recast Black Panther as a fair skinned Asian?
Dominic White
Cat woman is fine, I can even get behind commissioner Gordon if Barbra wasn’t mentioned, but I really wanted to se ginger Barbra on screen. Oh well. I hope they can at least act the character.
Adam Torres
>Chinese Superman user, I have some bad news for you.
Matthew Wilson
>They should make Batman black. user, I...
Easton Turner
Well considering part of the lore of Black Panther is their heritage and culture tied to Wakanda. So yeah it would bother me and if it were to happen that they race swap t’challah then I would just not see the movie instead of being a shit bag baby bitch and complain on the internet.
Do I really give a a fuck if a police Chief or burglar who dresses up as a Cat is race mixed? No because their race and skin color literally has nothing to do with the character or the over all plot.
See user, it’s not that hard to use critical thinking skills to form an opinion. :)
>DCEU doesn't exist anymore >Wonder Woman movie with Bruce Wayne >Aquaman mentioning Justice League >Shazam reference all DCEU heroes >Black Adam movie with Hawkman
Justin Phillips
I'm getting less and less excited about this movie.
Because comic book Selina is actually half-Cuban and if these movies have anything even close to comic book accurate all the producers will melt into goo.
Adam Morgan
BLERGH, IF they change Barbara Gordon from Ginger to Ni gger, I'm not watching it.
Selina should always have short hair t ho.
Leo Perez
He is old, Jim. Too Old.
Dylan Ramirez
>Can only accept race-bended characters, if they were race-bended before
I can see Black (not just Mixed Hollywood Producers) Catwoman, too. But, why if a minority actor is good, that not be acceptable now in a different interpretation?
Adrian Rodriguez
I didn't know this. Red pill me?
Ryan Reed
>Female thief is black >Ineffectual law enforcement is black >City needs to be saved by an able-bodied straight white man
Secretly based and red pilled
Levi Taylor
Nah, unless Jim's around the same age as Bruce in this?
Dylan Sanchez
It’s just made up bullshit. Complete with the same meme actors.
Jeremiah Reed
let me give you a speedrun on things, Ancient indians>greeks=rome=byzantine+other mixes=Latin
Jaxon Phillips
>tied to Wakanda. Wakanda is fictional user. There's literally nothing in Black Panthers backstory that necessitates him being black. ;-)
Josiah Hall
We seem to be in agreement.
Nolan Morris
>it was always a thing >and so was complaining >but now I think it's different cause it's now
Colton Richardson
Nah faggots and men in dresses in conjunction with shills ruined this place.
You're likely at least one of the three if you disagree.
Dylan Martin
Are you retarded? Do you say "Latinx" unironically?
Mason Wright
Are they rebooting the entire DCCU or just batman for some retarded reason?
Jack Brown
read a book.
Henry Bell
Just Batman.
William Anderson
How about you read a comic and stop headcanoning random shit?
Nolan Sanchez
>Rihanna as Ivy >Another red head turns black STOP THIS!
I know this is bait, but let’s go ahead and poke holes in your argument because It doesn’t matter if Wakanda is fictional or not.
Wakanda is located in Marvels Africa and its entire existence revolves around this tribe like society evolving into a afrofuturistic technological wonderland.
So yeah, it sort of requires him to be black considering the Black Panther mantle is handed down the royal blood line of Wakandan King’s dating back to the inception of this fictional country.
There’s times race bending is fine and there are times race bending isn’t required. It isn’t required when a character is deeply rooted in their race or their race is literally the character exists.
If you can’t understand why comparing Commissioner Gordon to Black Panther is asinine, then have fun being a dumb ass.
Elijah Turner
Wakanda could be located in North Africa. There, no blacks. Also, let me guess; you were A-OK with black Achilles & Zeus in BBC's Troy?
Evan Brooks
Character's race is already part of their identity. You can't change that. End of fucking story.
Zachary Ward
I've wanted to play Selina since I was a little girl, but I want to be Batman Returns' Selina, and she's nothing like comic selina
Zachary Parker
Just say Barbara isn't his bio daughter, problem solved
Connor Evans
Is Reeve's Batman set in the 80s or 90s, or are they somehow rebooting Batman and nothing else?
Carson Martinez
fuck off weirdo
David Nguyen
>The studio wants and looking for the most diverse cast as possible And this is why I barely consume American entertainment anymore. No more capes for me, USA.
Drown in your shitty PoC propaganda and die.
Cameron Sanchez
I wonder if "redheads turned into black girls" will eventually become a mainstream meme, on like Twitter or something.
Doubt so. That shit gets buried hard as soon as someone tries to talk about it.
William Hernandez
Fuck off back to /pol/
Benjamin Miller
Have you tried not going to Metafilter today?
Jack Lee
I literally haven't paid to see a movie in theaters since Avatar.
Landon Lewis
So then you'd be okay with changing the race of Jim Rhodes, Blade, Jon Stewart, Monica Rambeau, Bronze Tiger, Black Manta, Spawn, Amanda Waller, Cyborg, etc.?
None of their races matter.
Jordan Rodriguez
I will tolerate a black Catwoman IF they adapt her suit to contrast like they should have done with Domino. Give is a white/grey Catwoman suit like TAS.
