    And let's not forget what happened when Michael B. Jordan was cast as the Human Torch in the travesty that was Fan4stic.

    People disliking the decision to racebend certain characters is nothing new and not something that only applies to Black Canary.

    I was talking about this part of skyvolt's comment.

    I am aware of the backlash that Hiemdall and Mordu's actors faced but I don't recall anyone complaining that it wouldn't boost their comic counterpart's sales or change their races.

    There is the legitimate question that if they wanted a Black Character in this "Birds of Prey Movie that is actually a Harley Quinn vehicle" then they may as well have added Vixen or any other female black character since they've already admitted their not really making a Birds of Prey movie, just looking for a way to sell Margot Robbies Harley.

    I guess making a Suicide Squad movie without Harley Quinn is a bit like making a Justice League film without Batman in it. Or an X-Men movie without Wolverine: Losing either MVP character means losing a big chunk of the draw for your film. I wouldn’t be surprised if Warners gave Gunn permission to do whatever he wanted but stipulated that he has to put Harley in there. Money talks, so it makes sense.

    I’m indifferent toward this news.

    Imagine not reading monthly comics for about 18 yrs and learning that this Harley Quinn character that I remember from the animated Batman is a major player ! Lol!! I had no idea.

    Also confirms that Superman has been put on a shelf and WB will be concentrating on Supergirl as the Kryptonian of the movies.

    Well! That just sucks.Supergirl is in no way a replacement for Superman-Clark Kent. Then again, i don't particularly care for the universe anymore except for Shazam.So, good for the supergirl fans. As long as they don't introduce a Superman just to put over supergirl.And keep telling us Why she is so much better than Clark. I am alright with it.

    They need to have Cavill at least make a cameo. They can’t make a Supergirl movie and disregard Superman’s existence.

    They shouldn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

    This whole Supergirl situation just keeps reminding me of how much WB has bungled the Superman brand on-screen to the point where they start banking on a spinoff character instead of the Big Blue himself .

    And I say that as someone who loves Supergirl.

    Sounds like it’s more of a relaunch than a reboot

    Hahaha, I've been gas lighting people for years claiming that Supergirl preceded Superman and now, soon we're going to meme reality to mimic my lies! Supergirl is now more popular than Superman and soon she will become the original refugee from Krypton!!!!
