scarletspeed7 09/23/19 5:54:06 PM #1:	https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-jeffrey-wright-talks-play-commissioner-gordon-1237376 As a massive fan of his work spanning the last fifteen years or so, I'm all on board for Wright in the Gordon role. It's a great turn away from the Oldman-style Gordon. This will be a more soft-spoken Gordon with more ferocity in the eyes, I expect. Definitely a side of Gordon I'd like to see. This comes after Robert Pattinson was picked for the Batman role. Honestly, a really intriguing cast so far. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

pjbasis 09/23/19 7:40:57 PM #22:	Without going into the whole racist argument, I think it's still very picky to care about the actor's skin colors. Not looking like the character does not mean you can't bring the character to life. Nor does looking like the character exactly mean you're bringing it to life in the first place. It's also extremely constraining when casting to have to 1:1 character design. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png <cite>pjbasis posted [p:927848060] in Your New J...

Magneto, Wonder Woman, Black Lightning, Iron Fist, Shang Chi, The Great Ten, certain versions of Hawkman, Black Adam... you could list them out. But generally speaking, the supporting cast characters are pretty much blank slates.</quote> Speaking of Magneto, how are they planning on working around him being a Holocaust survivor but not being like 100 years old? I know about sliding time but I dont think WWII slides like that</quote> I have absolutely no problem with being a mutant extending your lifespan.</quote> That's the best way to do it in my mind. Or have it set a few decades in the past and have it not directly connected to the rest of the MCU</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
