NONE

Muslim Batman?

Make it happen, DC.

Beata

Just stop. Thankfully DC isn't as bad with this crap as marvel is.

The Trinity won't get the PC treatment since it's actually iconic.

Superman is alien so there is no reason why he would be caucasian plus his powers come from the sun why not solar body.

Amazons myths were just greek myths so Wonder Woman would have more South Africa/Western Europe/East of Asia Look.

Batman also doesnt have any idication being white is his main characther as characther

i think hispanics just became the majority in california iirc so just keep them white since we are now an oppressed minority

I think they're just as bad, but better because they don't make their MAIN continuity heroes different (besides Wally West). Black Superman and gay Alan Scott are both on Earth 2, so they can have their diversity cake and eat it too.

Black Bat-Man 'Nuff said

It would be fine with an African American such as myself if all comic characters were white. If the people writing them are white, by all means use white characters.

Here's the reason why: when white writers attempt to write black characters we get this ham handed attempt at exploring social issues. I know it has become a cliché but the Black Panter, Black Lightning, Black Manta s*** is beyond lame. I get way more uncomfortable seeing that kind of thing than I would if everyone was white.

*drags dead horse in* They could either push the existing diverse characters or write new ones (without naming them Captain Afro). Ideally, if black people want a character to identify with, then we should create one. How stupid is it to wait for Stan Lee to do it for us.

Batman. They only change their popular characters, and Batman's most popular so it'll be him.

None. And let PC treatmenters burn.

@spidey_jackson: Then hire Frank Miller to do the story. Id like to see how it would turn out.

Wonder Woman is considered to be Greek because of her Greek God roots.

Aquaman in the DCCU is a Pacific Islander

Green Lantern Kyle Rayner is Hispanic, Simon Baz is Middle Eastern

Wally West is already african american in Post Flashpoint.

none of them ever will... we already have a race swapped JL with earth 23 (president superman etc.)

Uh, DC trinity is already all PC. Superman is an illegal immigrant, living in America, he wears glasses even though his vision is perfect, so he is a hipster as well. Batman is a rich guy, who in his rich guy persona Bruce Wayne, stereotypes billionaire playboys, vilifying them, and uses his resources and wealth to fund his true passion, helping lazy, poor people in Gotham. Wonder Woman is a woman, and even though her Dad paid and paved her way, godlike powers yadda yadda, she hates him or something, plus she is a Feminist SJW.

Y'all should stop reading DC and Marvel and read Popeye, like I do. Popeye is a real hero, true blue American, no drugs or steroids like Captain America, is a sailor, so has an actual job, works hard, is straight, is a man, is white, is red blooded, blue collared, doesn't stand for hippies. Smokes, drinks. Has a hat. A real hero.

Black homosexual overweight batman in a fursuit when?

I actually slightly prefer the Earth-2 universe because the characters are more interesting. I'd be ok with the Flash being black, if it meant Wally West could retake the roll.

Superman isn't black in Earth 2 unless you're speaking of Val-Zod who came in after Superman proper died. Superman on Earth 23 is, in fact, black, from the get go. I think you should stop worrying about it. DC is diverse enough as it is. I don't think they'll go into PC panic mode.

Just emphasise WW's Greekness (Hellenicness idk). Like draw her with slightly darker skin, and give her a Greek accent in cartoons/movies.

I would do as Yale Stewart has done and make her skin tone different than its usual whiteness. Wonder woman is meant to be of greek/amazon descent.

Actually, ancient Greeks had a variety of skin tones, so its not completely unreasonable for Wonder Woman to have white skin.

You'd have to change Batman and Superman's background too much if they weren't white and WW actually makes more sense with a slightly Mediterranean skin tone.

Maybe the Northern tribes from the mountainous areas, but WW grew up in an island in the middle of Mediterranean, which would have a warmer climate than most of of the Ancient Greek world considering it'd be more South.

Marvel is just as iconic as DC

Popular? Sure. Iconic? Not even close.

clearly none of them

@nickras: It is easy to argue that DC is more iconic, but characters like Spider-Man,Captain America, wolverine and The Hulk are definitely iconic. And with the success of the MCU, more marvel characters are going to achieve icon status.

I seriously doubt that any superhero will ever get more iconic than Superman. This isn't about fame or popularity-Superman is the archetype, other superheroes are just those that came after him.

If you ask people who read the comics to name a random superhero, you may get some obscure answers like "Booster Gold" or "Saturn Girl". If you ask people who go to the movies but don't read the comics, they might say "Batman" or "Thor". However, if you ask a person who doesn't follow the subculture at all, the answer is going to be Superman. That's what makes him iconic.

That said, I'm not denying that Marvel has their iconic characters. I just wanted to tease Marvel fans a little.

None.

Technically black skin absorb sunlight more than white skin which deflects sunlight so logically being an alien and all
Superman should be black, as his absorb, storing powers would be greater than a white alien variant.
However Milestone comics answered the whole what if Superman was black, white America would have a hissy fit.

And how are these characters not already PC? I don't see them lashing out against particular groups. Rather, they stand for everybody.

Being popular and iconic don't mean the same thing. The only truthfully iconic DC characters that most people would argue are the DC trinity and Lois Lane. Superman, most people know why. Batman is DC now tbh and WW's for the gals. Lois Lane pretty much started the whole trend that a superhero needs a human love interest that they have to save or just be a love interest. Plus they've all lasted for more than 70 years. Without too much interference or any notable changes or legacies.

I'd argue for Spiderman and Captain America being iconic. Wolverine's and The Hulk are super duper popular and relevant at the moment, but I don't know about them being an icon. Maybe Hulk reaching close to that.
