Anonymous asked: why don't you simply try to boost black panther more, if you want black characters in the spotlight to shine with diversity? one would assume that with dc's bat-universe-dominance black panther might sell well, if he is written and portrayed in a similar way.
I don’t know, I think there’s something a bit off about the notion that the only way to make the Black Panther successful is to make him a clone of Batman.
But that’s not really the issue here, is it? And you’re mistaking the goal.
We’re telling a Captain America story, plain and simple.
For all of the folks that wrote in about this: I’m sorry that there are no longer any white male heroes in comics that you can relate to.
Ah yes, Black Panther, who rules his own sovereign state, with advanced technology, excellent schooling and medicine (and from the BET series, a fair amount of religious diversity), who - while not morally ambiguous - is mysterious in his methods and goals, but honest with his friends and allies, as well as a bit of a joker, who longs for vengeance and peace but does not allow himself to be consumed by it, should totally just be a Batman clone.
Now, Batman has complexity when he’s written well, but a lot of people just see “punch bad guys, be rich, MAN PAIN” and that’s what we’re also sold.
If we can have 50 bajillion white male heroes, what’s so flaming wrong with having Sam be Cap?
And Black Panther should also get a film. And a reference in Age of Ultron.
