Asians of the DCU

[El_Gato]

Why am I not surprised lol Only two appearances for one of DC's oldest Asian characters? That's pretty sad imo.

[Silvermoth]

DC is lacking in the Asian male department but I feel Kenan Kong is a step in the right direction. Now we just need to get Ryan Choi back!!

Kenyans been great. I feel like he's challenged a lot of stereotypes even though he's only had two issues so far

It's funny how you had to put the same issue in there twice, listing a variant cover(!) as if it were a different issue. LOL

Thanks for the laughs mace11.

I'm glad to see Kenan doing so well. My only concern is that he is carrying a mantle/name more associated with another character that is an icon. Eventually I hope they give him his own code-name, otherwise his growth in popularity and as a character will be stunted.

"Katana pic"

So how many lines of dialogue did she actually get in the movie? I was betting on 3.

[Lonewolf36]

3 sounds about right.

That sounds about right. Her introduction, the bar scene, her crying while talking to the sword. She was just there to provide a foil for Harley and add more diversity imo. I think Karen Fukahara did a great job with what she was given tho and I'd like to see more of Katana in future movies. On the bright side tho, she seemed to be the only one that could take on Enchantress (a part from Diablo and Croc).

Yeah but it was Harley that got to play hero with Katana's ermmm... katana right?

So it looks like Traci 13 is returning in Superwoman!! It was posted in the Africans thread that she will now be dating Natasha Irons. I'm glad to see another Asian character in use and Traci definitely has cool powers!

What do you guys think?

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

I voted Dr. Light, but Cass and Tatsu are close second and third places.


I just like the fact that she's very, very powerful but prefers to be a scientist and Doctor instead when she can be. She also does t suffer fools lightly (plus it's rare to find a hero not at all intimidated by Batman or other main Leaguers).

[El_Gato]

Has Dr Light popped up at all recently? Or is she still stuck in comic book limbo?
