I would love if we start having Russiagate/foreign influence conspiracies about making various IP "woke".

We have found that Iranian funding is behind making Velma not white.

We have uncovered an FSB plot to make a Superman reboot where all Kryptonians are black.

Sorry but no way to beat the well established "(((them)))" conspiracy theory

Marvel has their version of black Batman

His name is Nighthawk and he kills people

Also, his version of the Joker is a racist serial killer named Clownface

Ok cool, but hundreds of hogs would literally die instantly if Batman^(R)^ was rebooted as black

It was a funny show but I heard the new episodes aren't that good

Generally, You didn’t miss much. However I thought the deep dive episodes on the Egyptian presidency/politics in modern history was a bit out of left field, but I’ve never learned so much about the impact of the Sadat, Mubarak, Hussein, etc. presidencies from a children’s cartoon. Honestly came out of it with more questions than answers

I'd say it's worth watching the first episode. That's like 50% of everything that's memorable about the show in 20 minutes.

there's some structural obstacles to having a story about a black american who's superpower is being old money rich, but that just means you need to hire a good writer.

There is a new DC series where Batman has a working class background

Isn't that just Rorschach?

[–] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Kind of? Rorschach is more than just poor batman.

Superman would probably be even more effective thanks to that whole literal Übermensch angle

I think the west would start considering Batman legally public domain at that point.
