I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting more diversity.

Especially in iconic roles. Maybe it shouldn't be demanded that this role must be filled with a WOC, but I don't see anything wrong with people suggesting that she could be. I also think that colorblind casting calls for some roles would be a good idea. It's Gotham, a stand-in for NYC, why couldn't she be Black or Latina or Asian or any other race or ethnicity?

This.

I mean I'm not the biggest Batfan, but unless a significant part of her character was her needing to learn how to relate to 'ordinary' folks after being in her middle class WASP bubble for so much of her life and her having significant defining things about being white then.... I don't see how it makes a ton of difference. Especially when a superhero flick isn't likely to get Deep about racial relations in Gotham.

I mean one time I picked up a published fanfic book about Batman and the back said there was a white power organization terrorizing Gotham. My first thought was "Wait, there's anyone non-white in Gotham???" After a while I was able to come up with Lucius Fox, so that led to a lot of joking about these bad guys all camped outside the one black guy in Gotham's house. He's on the phone "Mr. Wayne, they're back again."

Wanting more diversity is great! But demanding that a canon character be changed Because Reasons when there are plenty of other characters that fit the bill that nobody is mentioning is an entirely different kettle of fish.

Plenty of other characters? I don't think there are a lot of lead female superhero movies being made. I mean, DC does seem to be expanding their horizons with male characters, given Aquaman, Cyborg, and possibly Black Adam.

Anyway, demanding, maybe not, but what's wrong with asking why not?
