What the flying ^%#*!!! Why???? I'm of color and believe me it doesn't make me feel closer to the character if they match my skin tone. Just grab the character on the page and put it on the screen! >_< There are plenty of characters of color to choose from! Grrrrrr WB.

Batgirl wasn't white in the LEGO movie either tho.

WTF. Well if that's the case let's give a Hispanic a chance. There are a lot of great Hispanic actresses that could be a good fit. But if i could have a say i would prefer to stick to the comic. Problem is you now have to recast Gordon or make his wife of another ethnicity. Or another dumb adoption story. (Fantastic Four)

Was thinking the same thing. I always thought that there should be a more 'urban' take on one of Batman's sidekick's instead of always coming from a rich or middle class upbringing who wants to wear a costume and fight crime.

"Problem is you now have to recast Gordon or make his wife of another ethnicity."

Or just make a new character, or maybe have Cassandra Cain who I believe was asian. You don't necessarily need to make Barbara Gorden the Batgirl.

I think the headline is the offensive part. Why not ." Looking for a woman to play bat-girl."

I might be wrong as I'm not up on all that is batman but I thought batgirl was commissioner Gordon kid . So he would have to be ethnic also .. but like I said I might be wayyy off. Lol
