Did that start after DC rebooted their comic line again? Catwoman was white in the Brave and the Bold series (which aired in 2011) and versions of the character being black were when continuity was not a thing (Eartha Kitt) or was a completely different character and not Selina (Halle Berry).
It was very recent, and more adaptation than comic. The Batman was pretty largely responsible for streamlining it, but The LEGO Batman Movie, DC Super Hero Girls 2019, and Harley Quinn show all did it first.
I'm calling things that will bomb at the box office for 500.
I didn’t mind it once we got to see Falcone and Detroit-Gotham. Totally believable that Falcone fucked a nigger whore and then went “lmao,” this is Jesus Quintana after all.
I hope so.
...But of course, damn it. Has Alfred been blacked as well lately?
To which he should have called her out instead of shutting up like a bitch.
Depends on the work, but sometimes Bats does make Gotham slightly better. Not sure what can he do if he couldn't even stop the city from being flooded. Unless the idea is to adapt the No Man's Land arc from the 90s, which would be something.
That is pretty clearly where they are heading. Penguin carved out his own territory already by the end of his series.
No, but race swaps have been prevalent. LEGO keeps pushing Batgirl as Latina, both in the movie and in this new game. Had that film dropped, it also would have gone that direction. I also think that Bat Wheels show pushes it.
Was not born yet for Batman the Animated Series, so for me the first thing I think of when I hear Clayface is the Lego Batman the Videogame.
The only race swapping of Alfred I know of was that Gotham High series where he is Bruce's gay Chinese uncle. It also made Bruce Wasian, Selina Latina, and Ivy Korean.
While it's far from my favorite Batman cartoon, it still had my favorite animated depiction of Alfred. While he still helps Bruce fight crime, he wishes that he would stop being Batman, which makes for an interesting dynamic. To me, The Batman was the show that best captured Alfred and Batman's father-son relationship.
Creature Commandos sort of did something like that with Doctor Phosphorus taking over Rupert Thorne's criminal empire.
Because it's not like you could have just shown him get even worse and become more of a dangerous psychopath, right?
I might give it a shot in October, but... yeah, this doesn't seem like it will do well financially.
oh heavens no
Bennett is exclusive to The Batman cartoon and hasn't been introduced to the comics. Adaptions generally pick characters from the source material, it's very unusual to pick a character from another adaption of said source material. So I doubt Ethan was ever in the running.
True on all accounts, but he is the best Clayface. The only actually pitiable one, the best design and his existence lets Basil be even worse and monstrous, fitting the trend of Batman’s villians degenerating (Arkham mastered this) as they reject redemption.
I’m so glad that whore was embarrassed and her career damaged.
Alfred has a black daughter, that they've pushed off and on over the last decade.
Joker 2 wasn’t losing sight of the audience, it was the director hating the audience that liked the first movie and deliberately pissing them off.
And have a woman be overshadowed by a man? Not possible anymore.
Wasn't Reeves-Batman adopted into the new universe? I recall him complaining he was getting old and still no sign of the sequel due to Gunn meddling with the executive process.
But of course.
Pennyworth I'm watching on and off, and it's a somewhat based at times show, very odd considering it's somewhat modern. It shows a super-authoritarian England... That doesn't look too bad, honestly, especially compared to RL England.
Honesty, I am surprised by the fact that most execs do not see that the Bennett version is the best Clayface. Most tragic, relatable and sympathetic version of the character. Mr. Freeze had his BTAS version become the staple, why not this?
BTAS left a massive impact that largely usurped any Batman content that came after, rightfully or not. The Batman was frequently left in its shadow. Even LEGO Batman, which came out in 2008, largely based itself around BTAS rather than the much more relevant 04 series - with the exception of using Firefly from 04 in the DS versions and later LB3.
If Rian Johnson can get work after Star Wars Episode 8, anyone can keep working after sabotaging a movie.
