Given how there are very few black superheroes in DC Comics, why don’t they use affirmative action legacies like Marvel? This way we could have a black Superman or a black Batman.

They do, you fucking idiot.

>Mr. Terrific
>Jakeem Thunder
>John Stewart

There are even TWO alternative Earth black Supermen.

>I don't read comics but I figured I would get some (You)s before the new year :^)

Have any of them ever held their own book?

2 of them, yes.

Stewart was even the only active Earth Lantern for a while.

Terrific and Jakeem Thunder were leading characters in JSA for almost a decade.

Just kill off Batman Beyond and have a 14 year old take his place that's half Hispanic but everyone calls Black

>Given how there are very few black superheroes in DC Comics
Since when? Did they suddenly kill a bunch off?

Shut up, Bendis

Why don't you just make a new fucking superhero? Why do you feel the need to remake an old one?

Nice Virtue signaling OP. Just gonna leave my report here so I can see less of these threads.

Because it will never catch on.

How many new superheroes have been successful in the last 20 years? Like, 5?

Name five.
And no, Milestone doesn’t count.

>why don’t they use affirmative action legacies like Marvel?
They Do.

>a black Superman
Before New 52 there was Steel and Earth 2 has Val-Zod.

>black Batman
He is called Batwing.

I've always thought Bruce being black wuold e good, but it kinda messes with the old-money-brit background

Steel
Vixen
Mr. Terrific
Cyborg
Black Lightning

You know what's harder?

Naming five Native American superheroes

Black representation is more important.

I know this it bait, but reminder that DC did tons of the legacies before it was cool, in both the 90s and the 00s. And reminder that Batwoman ended up getting tons of press due to having "bat" in her name and most people hated Jaime until some begrudgingly admitted his solo was pretty good

>I know this it bait, but reminder that DC did tons of the legacies before it was cool, in both the 90s and the 00s.
No black legacies though.

Native Americans aren’t the ones getting beaten on the streets.

Super-Chief
Man-of-bats
Equinox
Raven Red
Sky Alchesay

Make Batman black.

>t. Retard who does not read comics
The easy one would be firestorm. Some would argue John Stewart, but thoe people, much like you, don't actually read comics and fail to realize the Green Lanterns are a corp.

and another different five.

Batwing
Duke Thomas
John Stewart
Simon Baz
Jackson Hyde

Simon isn't black

then that's one tanned white guy

Then you’d just have Black Panther.

He’s Lebanonese.
Then again, Lebanonese aren’t supposed to get that dark.

Wally West 2 then.

Imagine all the Trumptards getting triggered over black Batman.
The tears would be delicious.

Manitou Raven
Manitou Dawn
Scalphunter
Aztek
and.... Dawnstar(maybe??)

Conner Green Arrow, Jason Firestorm, and John Stewart
Also the Batgirl in pink from Simone's shitty future's end issue

>He’s Lebanonese.

No dude who's Lebanese is that dark. The Lebanese are more olive skinned.

Why black and not south east Asian? there's hundreds of millions of them. Java has more people than Russia or Mexico.

Isn't/wasn't Aztek white?

That’s why I added “aren’t supposed to get that dark.”
I’m guessing the artist thought Middle East=brown.

they're starving on reservations

Because blacks need representation.
Remember Charlottesville?

why DC doesn't do ongoing elseworld titles with diverse main leaguers is beyond me.

Because no one would buy them. Elseworlds and minis already sell pretty low.

I would totally read Apache Chief yet his rights are fucked

They did that, look up the Stan Lee DC project from a decade ago.

Honestly you and OP likely came from Sup Forums or something

He was a lab created human who was engineered to combat some ancient Aztek evil thing. I'm not sure if he really had a race. Aztek was a weird idea that never really worked.
