This kind of diversity to me has always felt so disingenuous to me. It's basically *insert minority group* can have this character. When you could just use an actual POC or create a new character. I generally don't care about this with the exception of superhero movies/comics. Comics are a visual medium filled with iconic imagery whether it's designs, moments, etc. so it feels so off when watching it on the big screen. Seeing Harley and Joker covered with tats bothers the hell out of me, an overall desaturated/realistic world bothers the hell out of me, Batman killing people bothers the hell out of me, going out of your way to make things not like the comics bothers the hell out of me.
Use diverse characters to make a diverse cast. The idea of a race change, gender-bending, or orientation swap should fundamentally change the character. Acting like it doesn't does a disservice to the character and the people you think are representing. But that's just my opinion.
