Just read on wikipedia that it also wouldn't have any Ebony White, good old pickaninny child/short adult cab driving sidekick and possibly the only person
of african descent in Central City.
Oh, if only Hollywood could be true to the source material and include Ebony White in his original incarnation. How respectful of Will Eisner that would be.
Tokenism AND a call-back to America's proud minstrel hall traditions.
ha ha.
In all seriousness, the Spirit movie's tone, as seen from the trailers, is probably not going to be either the comedic, caper romps or the precursors to
Contract with God Trilogy urban crime misery stories that the Spirit strip oscillates between. I'm actually somewhat reminded of Warren Beatty's Dick
Tracy movie, though neither in a good or bad way.
