The new-look Batwoman is just one of a wave of ethnically and sexually diverse characters entering the DC Comics universe.

Others include Mexican teenager Blue Beetle - who replaces the character's previous white incarnation - and the Great Ten, a government-sponsored team of Chinese superheroes.

Regular characters Firestorm and The Atom, meanwhile, have been reinvented as black and Asian heroes respectively.

The characters are part of a wider effort to broaden the make-up of comic-book creations in line with society as a whole.


I take little or no interest in comics - but WTF?!

Bring comic-book creations into line with society as a whole? I thought the whole point was that they were different?!

Madness!

"Lipstick lesbian". Cool. Cool

It's like porn but badly drawn. Is it wrong to be aroused by this?

I guess it will create a wider audience and help boost sales.

A black/asian/hispanic person is more likely to buy a comic if it has 'one of their own' in it. Also lesbians will probably be more likely to read batwoman comics (and then finger themselves afterwards...JOKING! Razz)

Think about it this way; if we lived in Africa and there is a comic showing all black characters, and then they create a new white character, I am sure we will be more interested in it as we can 'relate' to that character a little more than the others (especially kids who will then dress up and pretend to be that character). Hence making the comic more interesting for us.

One slip during a blow job and she'd never see again. Might not take a slip with that lack of depth perception. Laughing

Production costs would go down as they started using less ink, so its a win win for the production house aint it. Wink
