"Why Batman Can't Be Black"

[robkelk]

Now, if Black Batman (Christ, that sounds exactly like the 70s problem I just mocked, doesn't it?) was someone other then Bruce Wayne, I could see it.

See my earlier post - specifically, the bullet starting with "Why can’t you just create a new character?"

I realize that these are comic books, but some ideas are just too ridiculous for our society.

The same used to be said about integrating schools ... until it was actually done. If a concept continues to be dismissed out-of-hand, it'll never be accepted as valid (or analyzed and found wanting - but the "analyzed" part is the important part).
