I know right, that's insanely unrealistic.
Dude is just basically saying the idea that there would be a wealthy family that happens to be minorities isn't realistic and of course he doesn't see the racism in that, especially in this day and age. **** is sad. We talking about fiction and his argument for for no minority being Batman is he wants it to be more realistic so only a white guy can be him. That also brings up the fact that you don't get Batman
Look.
If there was a black president in the 1950s in America, even in a fiction, that would make you question a lot. Would it not?
Even if it's FICTION, it should have some reflection on humanity and the society it's based off of. IMO, having Bruce Wayne be the son of two black or hispanic billionaires really downplays A LOT of the racial issues in America. Brushes them off like OH anyone could be rich in America. I personally don't think its all that swell here. But you guys think racism is over so I'm way out of line here
Just give up kid.

How am I wrong son? I'm the only one that backed up my points. All you guys have done is put words in my mouth and go crazy because I brought up race in a realistic way.
Whatever.
I've never seen any of the Batman vs. Superman stuff. Is there any one that would work in this type of world? Cartoon or comic? The only one I've seen that was actually REALLY well done was TDKReturns and there's no way that could take place this early. Superman took it 'easy' on Batman and Batman knew everything about Superman + there was a loaded backstory that explained why they were fighting.

Definition of FICTION
1
a : something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically : an invented story
you didn't back up anything with any valid points. all you've said is that there is no possible way there could be a rich black man in the 50's because its unrealistic but we're talking about a man who dresses up as a BAT FIGHTING CRIME
Here i'll make up a story for you
a urban black family is walking down in gotham and is gunned down by the klan. the only survivor is the kid and in anguish he trains his entire life and dawns a bat helmet and vows to fight crime. there i made a black batman more realistic for you

Dude said realistically like the premise of a billionaire dressing up like a bat and fighting criminals at night isn't already unrealistic enough . . .
I don't think Batman should be black simply because that's not how it was in the comics. But then again they were about to make Robin black in the 97/98 movie with Marlon Wayans, so if it happens, I'm not really trippin. Idris Elba would be cool

Think of your favorite FICTION stories. Now think of how they reflect current society. You'll see a lot more parallels than you think... Are you following?
Last point. Ignoring race or racism doesn't help or progress anything. I'm not a self-hating Dominican. I see America for what it is today. It's not perfect. You guys should remember that - you seem like the type of people to say racism is dead.
Either way - it's whatever, there's no need to continue this. This thread is about Batman and Superman, not black billionaires. I'll only respond if you guys keep disrespecting me.

No. It wouldn't make me question a lot. Because IT IS FICTION.I know right, that's insanely unrealistic.

Off the bat I'd know this fictional story will be dealing with how America is different and how Americans react to a black president in the 1950s and it would most likely be done in a realistic way if the author's take isn't it being a comedy.
The Wayne family being billionaire minorities doesn't downplay a damn thing. Batman is not the story about how a rich white guy whose parents died tackles race relations. There's no connectivity there at all. All you're saying here with this bull **** excuse is that there can't be a wealthy family that's a minority as if there are none in the real world. It's so racist and you're ignorant about it. You actually think you're justified in what you're saying. You're too focused on the wrong things. Not sure why you're hung up on it. The message wouldn't even be anyone can be wealthy. It'd be extremely unique cuz there'd have to be a legitimate reason for how this minority couple managed to earn their wealth in story but I guess you can't see that.
Also according to you the Black Panther and his African country of Wakanda which in his origins he is the king of is a complete affront to racial issues throughout history cuz that could never happen in the real world...... Oh wait.

There is a black superman on Earth 23. He is also the president.
Spiderman 2099 was Hispanic.
Bane is Hispanic, and is as smart if not smarter than Batman.
Cyborg is black and is one of the most intelligent beings in the DC universe.
Green Lantern John Stewart was black, and also a brilliant architect.
Batwing is black and also a main representitive of batman inc.
Black lightning was the secretary of education.
Just throwing it out there that there are black and Hispanic heroes who are very highly ranked in the comic universe.

True and you forgetting the best one T'Challa the Black Panther. He's a King and one of the most brilliant beings in either universe.
It's not whether or not there is enough diversity it's giving them great stories and good writers willing to take them on. They never last like David Liss revitalizing the Black Panther story leaving and no one picking up the character.
Currently the Ultimate Spiderman is a teenage half black half hispanic kid Miles Morales. They also brought back Cloak and Dagger one of the OG mixed couples.

Good list, thanks for this. I was in no way arguing against these guys or minority superheroes BTW which was why I specifically brought up Spider-Man.

Reading this article has me ready for another Batman film series
I would love for a Batman movie series that focused on the detective aspect, and him being a sleuth . . . we've never seen Bruce/Batman going undercover for example
Also like the idea of Batman being a Bond-like franchise where there is a new film every 2-3 years . . . The OG series was probably going to be like that if Batman and Robin didn't happen
Get this man to write the script for the next Batman joint

I miss the days when people casted people who looked like the characters
No White Black Panther or Blades.
No Asian Wolverine
No Black Batman
No need to bring race into a thread about comics. Just cast the guy who looks like the character.

I agree that it would be weird if batman was black but that was a stupid reason on the last page about being the son of billionaires.

That entitlement coupled with that imaginary victimization.
