(+) Yeah! (+)

I honestly don't get the butthurt when the dude did it all on his own.

I think the argument is that it's some kind of "SJW pandering" or that he's almost being emotionally blackmailed by the outrage rather than it being an authentic thing he believes.

I don't think it actually is that, I buy it's something he believes, and I don't think it would be right of him to do this if he didn't believe it. Could just be my white privilege talking or what have you but I don't see this as a clear case of right and wrong.

Really think batman should be played by s Hong Kong actor.

The martial arts stuff would work and upper class HK wealth is just as elite as American white.

Would also allow for some killer plotlines set in Macau

Which kind of Asian?

I feel like penguin could give off new money Chinese well.

If you go older style, I think thai or even Vietnamese could work

Only other one I think would suit Asian, is Korean Harvey dent.
