Comic fandoms in general are pretty petty and toxic so I wouldn't take their opinions on certain things with too much weight in general.

She could have been cast bacause she was the best option avaiable. Not just because of her skin tone. People get so wrapped up in color now a days they forget that there is some talent involved when making movies.

Your not wrong in that regard about maybe being the best ill give you that but you cant deny theres a lot of race swapping. Be real is anyone going to read black batman? Also if it isnt political where do you see black batman now? Isnt it interesting they only do it for black history month and pride? Like remember before pride month they hinted Bruce beeing bi. Pride has been over yet nothing about bi Bruce. Not saying i want it but it is political. Its kind of like hey Fuck you your only good once sa year and Not monthly

I don't think I'd have greenlighted a Batgirl movie in the first place. Not unless someone sent me a script that cried out to be filmed.

Let's see. A television series with a half-black Batwoman tanked, and a movie with a black Batgirl isn't even being released. Meanwhile, a Black Canary movie starring Jussie Smollett's sister, and movies with a Latino Supergirl and a Latino Blue Beetle, are probably getting canceled.

Something seems to be similar about all those projects, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

Hmm. Maybe its the idea that all you have to do is replace a white heterosexual protagonist with a minority member, and the market will throw money at you.

I hate race swapping but they could of had Gordon in a interacial marriage. I have no connection to batgirl but instead of casting for sake of equality they could at leaast make it believeable. Also the acress would fall under light skin black

It breaks my heart, but my expectations for Netflix's Sandman series are SUPER low. From floppies to absolute format, I've bought that series 4 times since 1987 and I should be the main audience for this show. Yet I know they are going to ruin it like they do every other beloved franchise.
