gwenfrankenstienSo apparently they have cast Bane for Dark Knight Rises. Surprise surprise, he is a white dude!
I know the internet has a collective hard-on for Tom Hardy, but the fact remains that Bane is Latino and Tom Hardy is very clearly not.
Chris Nolan has created a Gotham that will be seen by more people than any comic. And in this universe, Bane and Ra's are white guys, Jim Jr. is more important than Babs, one woman was fridged to provide angst for two men, and the closest thing we get to Renee is a woman who turns out to have betrayed everyone.
I'm sick of this. I'm not saying that the comicsverse Batfamily is perfect by any means, but I really really hate that the major public face of my fandom is sexist whitewashed bullshit. I am not okay with this.

Date: 2011-01-20 12:05 am (UTC)(Also Anne Hathaway I ADORE but I just don't know about her as Selina. Also I HATE that Nolan's Gotham is a Gotham without Robins, without Batgirl or Batwoman, without the JLA, without even Supes visiting him to hassle him ... it's so ... I don't know, it's just not what I'm looking for in the Batman franchise at all. He's the Dark Knight, not the Totally Alone Knight. He has buds. I mean, I know that, whatever, rights licensing & all that bullshit means we're never going to get Superman/Batman: The Movie, or probs a JLA movie, or whatever, BUT. BUT. Oh man, my feelings.)
