Man can act circles around his co-stars, and you're wondering why we want him as the face of hero's being ethnicity-swapped?
I mean, right now, he's just lending his voice to two children's movies, and they're both amazing characters. Shier Khan doesn't get as much screen time as, say, Baloo, but I'd happily put Elba and Murray as the real draws of the film.

>>82693121
Shoop a tiara in there.

A black Bruce Wayne makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Many of Batman's themes harmonize well with black racial dynamics.
He distrusts the police and feels a responsibility for a community that he feels isn't been protected.
And the Robins too. He feels pity on them for growing up with a father figure.

Batman really works as a black guy.

>>82693190
Except for the being rich part, and coming from old money.

So, you want Batman to be Black Panther?

>>82693404
Not really. Even if Bruce was descended from African royalty in this scenario he would be far enough removed that it wouldn't factor into his character like Black Panther is. But I was thinking he'd be descended from merchants who had hit it big.

>>82691584
Because Bruce Wayne isnt black, the debate SHOULD begin and end there.

>>82693558
Hit it big selling slaves to Europeans?

>>82693700
Possibly. I was thinking more like spices or tea. I know that stuff mainly comes from the Orient, but I would think there is something in Afica that is similar enough.

He would actually blend better in the night than anything that Bruce could ever hope to achieve with his ninja gimmick.

Most rich Africans got rich raiding, pillaging and selling their own countrymen. Africa is infamous for its slavery, or was, until white guilt started editing what gets put in school textbooks. The actual cargo manifests and records from the time are pretty damning.

You could, maybe, go for diamonds or gold, though, but that, too, is (still!) mined with slave labour.

>>82694370
I figured it'd be better to go with something other than slavery to show the integrity of his family. That and if I was DC, unless I wanted to fit the slavery guilt angle into a story, I wouldn't want to associate Batman with slavery.

Also you're wrong, they play the same role in most movies, not all of them.

No matter how rich or successful a black Wayne family was they would always be considered outsiders by the old money families that are such an important part of Gotham City as a setting. We're talking about the kind of people that considered the Kennedys nuevo riche trash here, there is no way a black Bruce Wayne could move effortlessly between the cocktail parties of the elite and the back streets.
There is a potentially interesting else worlds story there but it's too big a change to be the "real Batman"

No making the Mexican superhero a luchadore isn't racist, it isn't anymore racist than japanese motorcycle bug men and ninjas.

Yes. But NuWally does have a lot of stereotypes mixed in.Duke is Tim Drake 2.0. Very safe, nothing to really not like about him, but at the same time nothing to really like about him either. His personality is just very plain and indistinct. Problem is having multiple Robins or Robin-esque figures is redundant and kind of confusing. They have Bruce's 10-12 year old kid Damian outside of Batman running around on his own as Robin, but in Batman they gonna have Bruce taking in a new teenage ward to train as a new Robin-esque figure, while at the same time in Tec' they're putting Tim back in his Robin costume to take part in Batman's boot camp.

Haven't confirmed her sexuality.

Do you know any NE old money WASPs? They marry only amongst their own and their own is as white as freshly fallen snow, not NY sleet.

>Or he could be from a rich african family who moved to the US
Possible. You could play with a lot of family baggage due to corruption (as the only Africans wealthy enough to just move to the US come from blood/dirty money).
A self-hating Batman, or at least one not proud of his immediate ancestors and their crimes would be a nice take.

>or even from a family that slowly built up its wealth during the 19th century and managed to maintain it.
Go with my first comment: it just didn't happen.

Bruce Wayne being what he is works for him because of what he is.
He's the closets thing this fictional America has to an aristocracy. So he acts, not like the typical spoiled and useless aristo by trying to do some kind of good. Like a Scarlet Pimpernel of the modern age, but more persecuting other aristos for their crimes rather than saving them from their much needed comeuppance.

He's a figure from a long line of privileged, that chooses to do some good because he has the ability to do so.
Having a former, or at least one from a slave caste changes this dynamic.

Whether or not this element is vital to the character of "Batman" is another question entirely.

But there's only so many elements you can change in a character before you have to wonder whether or not it would have just been better off just to create an entirely new character from scratch, perhaps borrowing some elements of interest.

That's why I don't like this apparently solely american act of race changing long established characters. Some times it makes no difference. Some times not so much. Pandering reek.

>>82697668
>All off this

There are maybe 6 or 7 characters that would be affected more than cosmeticly by changing their race and Batman is by far the most prominent.

I don't know, my cousin's black and he always shoots with his gun upright when he goes to the range.

>>82697668
Well, batman is a mantle tho. Pretty much anybody with detective skills, martial arts training, acrobatics and a need for revenge or fight crime could be batman provided that they have the tools and gadgets. I mean, even Cyborg, John Stuart or Steel could be batman. It's a mantle like being the flash. It's not like being Deadpool, silver surfer, dr doom or wolverine. It's like being iron man, captain America, green lantern or, dare I say, spider man or even superman to an extent. Like, there's nothing stopping Zod from being superman if Kal-el steps down for some reason.

>>82696150

Okay, how about...
That rich black guy from Shark Tank gets almost assassinated by a butthurt contestant on the show. His wife and child die in the attempt. He enters depression and drinks almost all of his money. One of the guys who was in the show trying to get a business deal helps him with his crazy gadgets and they start fighting crime together. Other guys on the Shark Tank are actually mobsters in secrer and conspired to take him down.

>>82698648
Batman as a mantle is a different concept. I see no problem in passing on the mantle of "The Batman" to anyone of any race or sex.

I would have issue with changing the race of the current character known as Bruce Wayne, also the first an original Batman, without dramatically changing their entire backstory.

To do so without dramatic changes is just lazy fucking race pandering for no good reason, and it wouldn't make any sense.

A black kid watching his parents get gunned down in the hood by some ghetto snipe, who subsequently takes on the symbol of the bat to enact his form of nightly justice, mentored or looked after by some kind of foster father/case worker called Alfred (Fat Albert) or some shit would be fine as "A Batman".

But "THE" Batman? The Bruce Wayne?
Just change his skin color without changing anything else?
Wouldn't work. Can't say it can't be done, just that it shouldn't as it's a sucky, lazy way of going about it for, like I'll say again, no good reason.
