Seriously? They couldn't have made her Latina or Indian or something?

And a "no-nonsense, take no prisoners" personality type? Sounds like a boring-ass interpretation of Starfire to me.

Not sure how enthusiastic I am about this show now.

[Alycat]

She's lovely. Her and Dick are gonna be much older though.

Well...I can kinda see that with early, NTT, Starfire and her temper. She was very aggressive back then.

I am curious how they'll adapt her look though.

Yeah, for a bit she was like that.

But come on! Just about everyone knows and prefers "fun, socially awkward Starfire" over "no-nonsense, take no prisoners Starfire."

We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

Berlanti and co. are consistent with their castings .

I'm not surprised at all. People already calling her ugly too Ugh.

She's definitely a looker, no argument there .

Wow, that's pathetic. She's gorgeous! My only complaint about her race was the fact that I just thought that a Latina or Indian complexion might better approximate Kori's orange skin tone. A Latina or Indian accent could also help sell the whole "She ain't from around these parts" angle.

No, right now, I'm much more worried about her personality than the race of the woman playing her. That is to say I'm not worried about her race AT ALL.

*sighs* People need to stop being so quick to be outraged. She's black, so what? Black women look exotic by default. Once they paint her skin, give her some green contacts and throw a decent looking red wig on her, she'll be fine.

As for her no-nonsense, take no prisoners attitude. I'm not worried because there are so many ways to pull off that type of personality.

I hope Bumblebee is in this.

Assuming they'll go to all that trouble .

If they give her a wig I hope it's better then Medusa's on the Inhumans show.

[Starchild]

Yeah, for a bit she was like that.

We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

So she can't be both?

[Frontier]

Well, I'm getting the sense that they might be leaning more towards early New Teen Titans Starfire, but it's really hard to tell at this point.

Blink from the X-Men looks pretty good in The Gifted, design wise. I don't see why they'll have a problem with Starfire. We've been seeing alien races with exotic designs on tv for years.
