there IS a possible future like this O-o' maybe more than one? the DC wiki lists a potential future story where Superman has multiple part Kryptonian children... who are written as young adults and...

Grail's not really a Fury though.

What I want to see most... is something I suspect they won't do, but... it'd be an epic throwdown: Grail vs Devastation.

Why? Well Diana vs Grail is basically...

This is one of the more defining questions.... how much did the people of Krypton know about life on other planets? Did they know what Earth was like?

Is he? The idea is that the world around him is very imperfect, but he's trying to make it perfect.
Now this brings up an interesting question. Why Earth? jor-El chose a planet with people that...

Yeah, Zoe Saldana auditioned for the role of Nyota Uhura. There's pretty obvious reasons for them to look for someone with a strong similarity to Nichelle Nichols. ...

Exactly, they cast an actor who looked like the character. But like you said... why would they do otherwise? they really had nothing to gain by trying to "make a statement".

Is it really the same character with a drastically different origin story?Simply put, it wasn't relevant so people didn't talk about it. Dean Cain's ancestry wasn't the reason he got the part.

Yeah... the plot said Donna was less than 20... but the story didn't actually treat her as such.

Honestly? It made Beast Boy relatable. He was this guy who didn't know what to say or when......

One thing they barely talked about but... is a thing that's seemingly important when they do mention it... Krypton had multiple groups that didn't look or act the same. this included massive scale...

This made me think of something I"D like to see. In the Batman vs Dracula animated movie Dracula is planning to turn Vicki into his new queen of the undead... The idea is what if he succeeds? ...

I was probably agreeing with you?

I don't remember exactly? I think it was a generic comment about how/why you need to separate cultural identity from biology? Also I wasn't talking about stereotypes?

T'challa of Wakanda doesn't really have anything to do with African Americans either. John Stewart though? That's a good choice. :D To be honest part of why John is compelling is because he's NOT...

I just noticed there's a Tinkerbell-like Pixie as one of Circe's minions. hehe

I don't see that. Ra's has a powerful organization in the League of Shadows... but it's not that different other than scale from other threats Batman has to deal with.

Right but mixing culture with genetic origin muddles the discussion.

In this case it's specifically phenotype which is even farther from cultural identity.

Yeah as the Kingpin in Marvel comics likes to phrase it there's a difference between "associates" and employees.

Employees are people like Mercy working as Lex's bodyguard. She pretty much...

This is because the Spanish Conquistadors come from a country in southern Europe and have relatively light skin. "Hispanic" people from modern day North America are treated as descendants of the...

Realistically, while pathos is an important plot element... over-use is depressing and makes the finished work unappealing to read.

About that....

In DCAU it WAS Lex that turned John Corben into Metallo. Also, in several versions, Metallo's weakness is that his mechanical body can't self repair. Thus Corben eventually needs...

She's basically a female Lex Luthor in that she has stupid amounts of money and uses it to fund others.

IIRC Donna and Terry split because of the Team Titans incident and Lord Chaos(her son Robert).... yeah... that went.. in a strange direction. It didn't fully end in divorce(but that happened)... so...

The same sort of thing is true of Teth Adam. They're characters vaguely tied to the region, but... not really meant to represent it. That's kind of a red-herring in general. Characters in fiction...

Ah, but his is not universally true. Some actually are. But more often than not the writing just doesn't work.

It's often used as an excuse for why they don't get sent to death row or...

Yeah Jimmy is a supporting character who sometimes does errands, but he's not a full-time errand boy. Also the same is true of using him for comic relief.

As for the talk show host thing... Jimmy...
