What if Batman was Black /co/?
>>81844383
He would be the night
>>81844383
He'd only see Martha die.
>>81844383
I don't know actually, has it ever been done before?
We'd have at least 1 minority on the team and thus, no need for cyborg
>>81844383
He'd be Black Panther?
>>81844383
T. Wayne would still be alive because he would have been an absent father and unable to take Lil' Wayne to the Boyz N Tha Hood movie.
>>81844499
No. Because black people are poor.
He'd be suspect number one in his parents murder investigation
>>81844383
>>81844383
He wouldn't be rich.
How come in the other universe with the black justice league, batman is still white?
>>81844383
Already explored.
What if the Punisher was a Black man?
>>81844383
There's a Black /co/? Is that like black twitter?
>>81844769
And Luthor also

Hivemind
Black Batman makes a lot sense from a character point of view.
Batman is all about not trusting the police to do their job right, so he takes justice into his own hands.
A black character would fit right into that type of thinking.
And the whole taking young boys under his wing? Makes sense for a responsible black man who feels the burden of improving his community.
>>81844769
Perhaps because his origins and upbringing are very "white." He epitomizes WASP.
But most likely it was a slight oversight with no real meaning behind it.
>>81844878
Gives "I am darkness, I am the night." a new connotation.
>>81844878
And the costume wouldn't look too bad on him compared to other race switched characters. I mean Bats usually avoids being seen anyway.
>>81844499
Nighthawk?
>>81844383
Stan Lee already answered that.
Nothing about Batman is white by necessity, I've always thought he'd be fine as a black guy.
>>81844383
They'd call him Mr. Terrific and relegate him to a background character on a team book full of old white men.
>>81845351
Being old money from a well respected family
>>81844827
There aren't a lot of black old money families.
The Waynes are old money.
Also, they're not rich, they're WEALTHY.
>>81845400
He just has to have wealthy parents. No reason the Black Waynes couldn't be well respected.
>>81845424
They aren't a lot of rich playboys who dress as a bat and beat up homeless people either.
>>81844383
Can't go out a night without Robbin'
>>81844878
you could also give the Wayne family roots in the Black Wall Street and Tulsa Race Riots in the 1920's. Bruce's Grandfather made their fortune in Black Wall Street and was one of the few who escaped with most of their money intact, so taught his boy 'keep your head down and don't make waves, else the Klan will burn down everything', and the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne signals to young Bruce that 'keep your head down' 'turn the other cheek' just isn't gonna make a difference
>>81844383
He would be a lot stronger and his dick would probably be 8 inches longer than it already is.
>>81845448
so was T-Wayne a up and coming East Coast Rapper who got gunned down back in the 90s around the same time as Biggie and Tupac or what
>>81844420
>>81844479
>>81845489
I would assume Thomas Wayne was a wealthy philanthropist who invested heavily into practical technology and whatnot. He and his wife installed a sense of altruism into their son Bruce, and were sadly gunned down by white supremacists (add something so it's not just a pallet swap).
Any problems?
>>81845400
His father was the wealthy east coast rapper/producer who got gunned down by racist white cops and acquitted by an all white jury.
>>81845446
No. For Batman to work at anywhere near the level he has to he has to be old money with pockets deeper than the Mariana Trench. You have to remember that Batman finances not just himself but also the Justice League with things like the Watchtower
>>81845539
>gunned down by white supremacists
The name Black Panther's already taken anon
>>81844383
>>81845544
>>81845539
I wonder who is behind these posts
>>81845556
I was thinking of Nighthawk, actually. Just less racist and murderous.
>>81845539
>>81845544
why would this make anything better? Why would you need to make it a hate crime? Why would Batman be focused on all crime instead of just fighting hate?
>>81845568
So what was wrong with Kid Flash in this story?
>>81844499
EVERYTHING has been done anon, EVERYTHING.
>>81845602
I dunno man, just an idea. If people want Blackman to be 1:1 with Batman then go ahead.
>If
>>81845657
He's racist Batman though.
>>81844383
I think we can all agree he wouldn't be nearly as popular.
>>81845610
He was right.
>>81845602
Ok fine his parents got killed by their west coast rival.
>>81845672
Shut the fuck up before he beats your ass, whitey.
>>81845568
Jesus Christ Wally, get your shit together.
>>81845626
I forgot Stan Lee's Batman was black.
That was actually a pretty good story.
>>81845482
This actually sounds really good.
Police would have shot him 52 times the first time they saw him.
>>81845702
Has anyone read Contest of Champions? Ewing brought him back.
>>81845754
can't corner
>>81845702
Yeah? Well what if I told you I'm really Doctor Spectrum?I'm totally not Doctor Spectrum
>>81845754
CAN'T TANK THE FRANK
>>81845754
Didn't he kill innocent people though? Which, as you may know, is a big no-no for Frank.
>>81844383
https://youtu.be/0rYv2xUijII
Sell out Broadway.
>>81844383
Then he wouldn't have to dress up as a bat to scare people.
>>81845963
This is true.
He'd be Blackman.
>>81844654
>Lil' Wayne
Funniest part.
>>81845835
>LAPD
>Innocent
>>81845690
>he wouldn't be nearly as popular.
Are there any non white super heroes that are A-list popular? Like on the same level of a spider-man, superman, batman, wonder woman, green lantern, captain america.
>>81846263
Cyborg
>>81844896
>>81844769
Because every character there aside from Superman isn't a race swap, they're actual black characters.
Batman is the token white guy in Blackverse
>>81846328
not really. He's being PUSHED in the hopes hell become an A-lister but hes never been there and he isn't at that level yet. If anything hes mostly well known for happening to be a character in a cartoon.
>>81846328
Not even close.
>>81844383
It would be less surprising to see his family gunned down in a back alley.
>>81846263
by all accounts Wondy isn't white. Themysyria is in the Mediterranean right?
>>81846263
Batman is Jewish. His mother was the daughter of a Jewish woman, making him Jewish.
>>81845568
The random emphasizing of words in comics is always funny.
>>81846422
I dunno but its not quite what I mean. Wherever she is from you look at a picture of wonder woman and how she was portrayed when she first got popular (or fuck it even now) shes a straight up white lady. I'm just wondering if there are any decidedly 'not white' heroes. I honestly can't think of any. The closest I come up with is Miles Morales but even he isn't anywhere near the same level as OG spider-man.
>>81846353
But if Supes and Wondy are black, shouldn't Steel be white?
>>81846573
Superman is the only raceswap there and there's no white version of Steel in the traditional sense. Although IMO Steel shouldn't be a part of that JL if thats meant to be their founding JL
Wonder Woman is Nubia.
Green Lantern is Jon Stewart
Cyborg
Vixen
Guardian
Red Tornado is a robot so he's black in the slave way
And Bruce is the token white guy the same way Cyborg is the token for E0 JL
>Be black batman
>kills own parents
>regrets it

>be black batman
Would /co/ be more mad at a blonde Bruce Wayne or a black Bruce Wayne?
>>81846387
>>81846404
It was a joke guys. If this was 10 years ago I would have said Blade though
>>81846789
Blond to be totally desu with you
>>81846789
Wasn't Val Kilmer blonde?
>>81847118
Maybe in movies alone. Id on't even think most people know blade is a comic book character.
>>81846031
Okay so. They actually know him, right?
>>81847177
How about Spawn in the 90's? I can't remember a black character getting more A list than that
>>81847333
Oh yeah there you go. There is at least one.
Honestly a little depressing. I figured there'd be a few by now.
>>81846253
>killed an innocent just because she as someone's daughter
yeah, no.
frank doesn't kill cops either, unless he knows they're bad.
Then we would call him Blackman.
>>81847333
most people don't know Spawn is Black, they just remember the costume
>>81844383

>in the grimdark future, Kramer and Joker are remembered as the same person

Absolutely disgusting that such hate speech is allowed because people outright lie and say "It's just a joke man, satire and parody man. It's just a prank bro!'
>>81844383
That's impossible. Batman is rich
He'd spend every night looting various convenience stores as vengeance for his murdered parents
#Justice4T-Wayne&Marthandelique
>>81844383
batman is one of the few characters who i would mind if he was black, because it just doesnt make sense that there would be black old money. expecially not THE old money
>>81846462
he can't be jewish, he's a philanthropist
>>81847157
blonde it is then
>>81845754
He's still alive bros
r-right?
>>81844383
>>81844499
Yes it has actually! In the Marvel Series Supreme Power, vigilante hero Nighthawk is the son of billionaires and uses their fortune to fight racially motivated crime, investigate super powered individuals, and eventually lead a vigilante campaign against the Warlords of Africa.
He's also extremely violently racist, paranoid, and a murderer. Think a racist version of Batfleck and you have a good idea of him.
Also Africa's superhero's fucking hate him for being another interfering American and don't see him as any more black than Hyperion
>>81852497
He doesn't seem that bad, the last panel makes me actually side with him. Got anything that actually has him being a racist prick or is this like that one scene when Ultimate Cap didn't believe Nick was an officer due to how it worked in his times ?
>>81852497
"graffiti is art"
Yeah, he's a prick alright.
>>81852909
Have you never been to a major city? Kids tagging is ugly as fuck, but actual murals tend to be pretty good
>>81852997
This.
>>81852909
There's graffiti that easily qualifies as art and there's graffiti that is nothing more than marking 'your' territory. Like cats pissing on a tree.
>>81852997
no they don't plus they're illegal
>>81844383
I guess he'd use a lot of electricity gadgets
>>81845704
>>81845692
He was under racist mind control.
>>81844383
I felt if DC really wanted diversity
They should have made him Asian
Like, half the time he's drawn as Bruce Wayne, he looks Asian anyway
>>81846263
Martian Manhunter?
>>81844878
>And the whole taking young boys under his wing? Makes sense for a responsible black man who feels the burden of improving his community.
Yes the african americans are quite well known for their fatherly instincts.
>>81853386
wait that's the one part you had a problem with? You couldn't even consider that a possibility for even one single individual have among everything else?
>>81852178
Why can't Bruce Wayne be nouveau riche?
>>81847555
>LAPD and their families

Can you point to where they say that his grandmother is Jewish in the comics?
If that's true than you are technically correct about him being Jewish.
>>81844383
>white
Crtl+f "white" and nothing...
C'mon, guys, he'd totally have a white girlfriend if he was black.
>>81852497
Nighthawk's suit is really neat. I like the design, especially the big fuck-off glowing eyes.

Our gang leaders.
Then we'd be following the story of the guy who shot Bruce Wayne's parents
>>81855226
f u coon
>>81844383
Then his name would be Blackman.
>>81844769
I still think he's light skinned. We don't see him in any other panel, so it's hard to confirm.
>>81853504
>You couldn't even consider that a possibility for even one single individual have among everything else?
Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>81845286
I miss him and his followup
>>81845787
>>81858118
So why did he pick a skateboard of all things to be associated with
>>81858430
Because he was the leader of the Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers and that was kind of their gimmick.
>>81858430
Because it works
>>81844769
In this universe black people were more inspired to be superheros for reasons I can't remember, whereas Batman's inspiration was his parents murder, the fact that black people were more prominent didn't effect that

The value of our long rivalry!
You’re my Bat, my straight man foil,
The dark lance to my purple boil!

And when push comes to shove,

And no, don’t go after Two-Face!
That R’as al Ghul’s a disgrace!
It’s the Dynamic Duo FOREVER!
It’s Joker and Batman Forever!
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever…
You’re my Bat, there’s no escape,
We’ll feud and brawl and annihilate,
And one day, cuz I’m your clown,
I’ll sculpt a smile in place of that chiseled frown!
When you’re gone, I’ll go sane,
So don’t forget which of us is to blame.
Seconds wane, now I must confess,
I wrote this song to tell you Commissioner Gordon’s got a bomb super glued to his chest!

He does a lot of shit I can't find panels for, but he calls Hyperion "Snowflake", ignores white people being attacked by minorities. He also called Blur, a black version of The Flash, a House Nigger and said white people get the best powers because Hyperion is racist.
There's already a black Batman. He lives in Ontario.
He's have a baby with Huntress, Barbara and Catwoman. And won't pay child support even though he's a billionaire.
>>81844479
Truth be told as a black guy who grew up in the ghetto. Yeah. Pretty much. His hatred of guns would also be justified. She'd either be shot in a mugging or in a drive by trying to protect her son. Imagine Bruce under his bleeding mother. She's telling him it'll be okay baby, it'll...be...
You get Black Panther, who is better.

Night Thrasher comic ideas.
>Secret Wars: Taakyo Drift - Night Thrasher is the only hero with the skateboarding skill to protect the universe from a rampaging Galactus! With the power of the silver surfer he shapes the cosmos into one vast interstellar board and steers it away from the Devourer of Worlds.
>Wolf on Wall Street - The Taylor Foundation is ruined by sudden, crippling debts. Dwayne suspects foul play but is powerless without the resources to investigate. The only route open to him is to don the mantle of Night Thrasher and join the private detective company run by an unstable superhuman theriantrope - the Werewolf by Night!
>Night's End - A case of mistaken identity results in a midnight encounter with Wundarr the Aquarian! Left a changed teen after the incident, Dwayne swears a vow of pacifism and takes up the name Dawn Thrasher. But will he still be able to protect his family and friends?!
>Skating Iron, Shadow Fist - At a corporate board meeting/skateboard swap meet Danny Rand tore his ligaments trying to outdo Dwayne on the thrash! Then the evil kung fu master Junzo Muto struck, absorbing Danny's power and fleeing to K'un Lun to establish himself as the next Iron Fist. Night Thrasher must travel to the mystical city and overthrow Muto - but will he be able to unite the Immortal Weapons behind him with skateboarding skills alone?!
>Send Them Skate To Hell: Unbeknown to Dwayne, killing the leader of the Folding Circle has made him the gatekeeper of the Well of All Things - a power that can only be unlocked with his death! With a demonic bounty on his head, Night Thrasher must evade the attentions of the Ghost Riders and skate into hell itself to end his curse!
