This. Johns pitched Cyborg to WB executives so he could Shield Hal Jordan, After the movie went to shit WB executives would had been happy to use the more "diverse" alternative.

Do you see a Martian Manhunter here? If he wasn't on Super Friends, Johns doesn't care.

No, it was Johns idea to use Cyborg. It was WB's idea to BLACK the JL.

I'd be happier with Black Lightning over Cyborg. He was offered a place in the league anyway.

>>83523320
That's bullshit and you know it. Martian Manhunter does all kinds of trippy mentalism shit and has adventures inside people's brains. Nobody else has insight into the psyche; even Wonder Woman doesn't have that kind of magic-like adventures.
>>
>>83524041
I did this a time ago because we had this conversation since nu52 started, I asked people about MM and what race does he fit on Earth, those who knew who MM was will always tell me he's a black dude, some times they ad the but "he's actually a green Martian", but still is a black dude.

But maybe this only happens in my city.

Cyborg has been DC's "Le Token Negro" of choice for quite a few years now.
With Marvel having so many black superheroes now that they ARE STARTING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER IN MOVIES, DC is forced to push boring as fuck Cyborg in everything.

Otherwise the Hall of Justice looks like a Klan meeting.

Although that's Cyborg's son in the pic, his awful blackness completely covered in pure metal.

If J'onn's doesn't count as a black why people count Clark as white?

Jonn doesn't count as black just because he's green. Superman counts as white because he's a white Kryptonian.
Yes, there were black Kryptonians.

Does Thanos count as being black because he's purple?
It's a popular color with some black people.

He looks white at all times and Clark was raised practically from birth by white Midwestern parents. Which makes him culturally white

That's a different anon, firstly.
Secondly, there's nothing canon to suggest they are all "female" Ridley Scott offhandedly said he considered the alien in the original movie a hermaphrodite.
This whole "all aliens are female" is some crap you've pulled off of fan discussions.
>>
Might be an unpopular opinion but I say demote MMHs powers to just shapeshifting, body splitting and psychic. Maybe give him a leaner physique as well.
He needs a power demotion to separate him from Superman in the eyes of casuals and they need to put emphasis on how important those powers are to him. His New52 series was great because it was so much about J'onns psyche and how it manifested with his powers.
>>
>>83524861

>Quoting non canon stuff

My argument remains.
>>
>>83523217

Because if there was no other black they'd have replaced Hal for John.
>>
>>83524930
I mean why not have Cyborg and J'onn on the team
>>
>>83524896
Should we "demote" Shazam to magic lightning powers too?
>>
>>83524923
No, it really doesn't. You are getting in an uproar over a point that's entirely substantiated by "stuff some people said on a website".
Anything Ridley Scott suggests is 1000x more valid than message board drivel.
>>
>>83524976
No, because he's not part of the O7.
Thats another thing that Cyborg has over MMH right now which is a more distinct power set. Having a team 6 varied powersets + 1 Superman+ is off putting for a lot of companies. There's a reason War Machine wasn't the token black guy in the Avengers film even though it was a team of whites, which is that he wasn't distinct enough in his power set.
>>
>>83524964
>I mean why not have Cyborg and J'onn on the team
In the comic? The JL will eventually swell again to too many members, DC books always do this.
In the movies? Because they barely have the Trinity speaking to one another, Cyborg is going to be window-dressing, and he's too "Superheroey" for the Snyderverse.

Literally the same show with a new title. I guess the Justice League cartoon has nothing to do with Justice League Unlimited...

>>83524896

Wonder Woman has Superman's speed and strength too though.

I guess what they could do with John would be making his strength basically psychic in nature though, like what they used to do with Superboy in the 90s. That would keep his powerset while differentiating him from Superman.
>>
>>83525065

Superman and Wonder Woman share almost all their powers and they're as fast as the Flash.

There's no real distinction power-wise between the Leaguers. Stop this bullshit.

Are you even aware that "goes fast" is not even the tip of the iceberg for the Flash?

>>83525129
That's what I'm saying. By all means The Avengers film SHOULD have had a token black guy. It was Whedons SJWfest and its an international summer blockbuster which features a team of people from around the world, perfect material for having token diversity.
But they couldn't because the only black guy they had at the time was War Machine AKA Iron Man+ which isn't interesting on a diverse team of powersets.

To any kind of casual on looker MMH is the War Machine of the DCU. He's a last of his species alien with flight, superstrength and laser eyes. Thats why they need to push HARD on the psychic, shapeshifting and body splitting aspect of his powerset and the simplest way to force that is to strip out the Superman like aspects. Its what his DCYou run was great for and I hope in future they use it more.

Batman is already the tech/computers/armor guy.

Having Cyborg on the JL is like having Iron Man and Ultron on the same team.

Cyborg has the benefit of being the only black hero that normies give even half a shit about.

Same as Wonder Woman, the only female DC hero in the public's consciousness aside from Superman's cousin.

Black Lightning. He's a street guy like Green Arrow and Canary so he's got an interesting place in the team dynamic. Plus he already has history with the League, what with Arrow trying to get him to join up because of his blackness.

Maritan Manhunter is an alien who lived a full life on another planet and has to make a new one from scratch on Earth, while looking completely unlike humans

That doesn't make sense though. Why would racists even want minorities as pointless tokens in media unless they wanted to use them as an examp...you're on to something....

He's a green man wearing brown skin.
And you could easily cast a black person to play a green one.

This is one area where I think Johns fucked up. John should be on the JL, so that he can be completely and utterly ignored in GL comics without anyone getting pissy.
>>
>>83529056
Vixen
>>
>>83519659
No, Johns wants everyone to know his husbando is the REAL green lantern so he made Cyborg a member to stop anyone from crying GL should be John Stewart for diversity sake.
>>
>>83533121
I mean, he's right.

Sue Dibney

>>83533096
She was on JLI. Why didn't you buy it?
>>
>>83519633

Once the JL movies are done, they'll change the roster a few times and then reboot the series by bringing back the original Big 7 (like they did in the 90s with Morrisons JLA).
>>
>>83519633
I don't mind Cyborg being IN the League but him as a founding member is fundamentally wrong. If DC wanted a more balanced team at the start of the New 52 I'd have used Vixen.

Vixen addresses both the racial and gender imbalance among the founding members, and her animal powers tie her into the the Red/Green story line DC were running at the time. Her being a founder also doesn't invalidate her relationship with other characters the way Cyborg does.

I'd throw Black Lightening in too, because fuck it he's awesome.

And then Johns could have had Cyborg in the team after the time skip.
>>
>>83532980
The problem is Johns was WRITING the JL comics and who would want to write the brown mannequin with no origin story or character motivation?

Like at least Cyborg has arguments with his dad and maybe angst about not being able to play sports anymore or some shit like that.
>>
>>83519633
>its been 5 years since the new 52
>the most interesting thing cyborg has done is play ping pong with someone
>>
>>83534515
>the Red/Green story line DC were running at the time

Just because Swamp Thing and Animal Man were the most popular books at the dawn of the Nu52 doesn't mean their storyarc was supposed to be important on the macro scale.

It's not like "The reboot will make all the actual A-lister titles suck" was PLANNED.
>>
>>83534550
But Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Action Comics were all average at worst post-reboot.
>>
>>83532812
Nobody actually wants tokens. Tokens are what publishers and execs mandate so they can placate the diversity crowd without actually giving a shit about diversity.
>>
>>83534573
Varying degrees of agree and disagree and other words with "gree" in them.
>>
>>83534650
an-gree?
>>
>>83534604
Then why do I see publicity and people cheering on when comics do this shit instead of everyone calling them out on it? I'd much rather have no minorities or women in a work then a token being tossed in. The diversity crowd should be against it if they want any quality or for it to go anywhere
>>
>>83534515
>I don't mind Cyborg being IN the League but him as a founding member is fundamentally wrong.

Why though? It's no different from the time when Black Canary was made into a founding member because they couldn't use Wonder Woman.

>If DC wanted a more balanced team at the start of the New 52 I'd have used Vixen.

Or Dr. Light. Or Katana. Or Judomaster. Or a Milestone character, like say, Rocket. Hell, even Blue Beetle could have been a founding member.

>Vixen addresses both the racial and gender imbalance among the founding members, and her animal powers tie her into the the Red/Green story line DC were running at the time.

That's a very poor argument when the Red and the Green had no impact on any other books being the Swampy/Animal Man crossover which was just a gimmick that got traction.

>Her being a founder also doesn't invalidate her relationship with other characters the way Cyborg does.

Cyborg hasn't really suffered from losing the Titans connection. Other Titans have, but not him. If anything, he's actually been allowed to grow the best out of all the NTT members thanks to his usage in Justice League. He's friends with Shazam, teamed up with Metal Men on a regular basis, his awkward relationship with his dad is actually a pretty good basis for his own ongoing book...
>>
>>83534658
Sure, the Nu52 inspired plenty of that.
>>
>>83528182
He already has
He was part of the team then he quit and mind wiped
His time on the league was essentially off screen
Then he joined Stormwatch which he quit and mind wiped them too.
THEN J'onn went insane and split his mind into like a few dozen identities and made a plan to bring back old Mars and replace it with Earth while at the same time fighting himself and saving the Earth.
>>
>>83534539
Idk his ongoing was pretty cool
Last issue he literally saved the day from hacking terrorists while taking a nap and tormenting movies.
>>
>>83519633
He had a pretty solid DC You Title, it's you faggots fault for not buying it.
>>
>>83534787
>Why though? It's no different from the time when Black Canary was made into a founding member because they couldn't use Wonder Woman.

Personally, I would argue that the League isn't the proper place for a teen character, as a matter of grandeur. Training minors is, like, the entire purpose for which the Titans exist. (Or even the JSA, provided said minor is a legacy to a Golden Ager)

Although...Nu52 Vic is written as college age, isn't he?

It would've been smart, now that I think about it, to have him on both teams and be the connection between the two, like he's the one who forms the TT in the first place specifically so other kid capes have the kind of safe environment to learn and get advice from a more experienced hero that he didn't have when he started.
>>
>Johns will never put Plastic Man back on the JL
>Instead, we are treated to Shazam showing up every couple years because Johns remembered he wrote him once
>>
>>83534783
there's a lot of pro diversity in media and social media which creates an air of people agreeing with this
>>
>>83534820
>tormenting movies

What, like... "Norbit"?
>>
>>83524007
>Mystique
No she's a woman. Her "default" is still female. Manhunter's "default" is a green alien, not a black dude

There should be Doctor Fate in the justice league. Or a character who could be his equal
>>
>>83535527
That's usually Zatanna. Fate's more of a Society guy.
>>
Mister Terrific should be the token black guy.
>>
>>83535775
Forgot about her
>>
>>83535837
mr terrific would never actually get to do anything on the justice league because god forbid another character steps on batman's toes

it would just end up like JLU where he sits behind a computer and yells at stuff

Nah. Magic mixed in with usual superheroes is really lame.
>>
>>83532396
Black Lightning is based as fuck mate.

I think they make a Guardians of the Galaxy reference and maybe Airplane! ?
I can't remember past GOTG cause it stood out the most.

Movie Synergy. Don't worry, it's okay when DC does it.
>>
>>83536205
Cyborg has been a JL Member before the DCEU was announced you maroon.
>>
>>83535979
He's also Outsider, we don't want another "he belongs with Teen Titans" right?
>>
>>83536248
How is that different than any other Movie synergy?
>>
>>83536321
Because you're assuming the movies are influencing the comics and not the other way around.

I mean hell Lois and Clark had more influence to the comics than the DCEU so far, since they actually postponed Supes and Lois marriage in the show and in comics till they could their relationships at the same time to confuse the viewers and readers less.
>>
>>83534783
Because liberals can only see the color of the skin, not the character
>>
>>83538312
The problem is that you're ignoring that the new 52 was molded with movies in mind. It doesn't matter if plans were finalized only after the new 52 began. They were obviously talking early planning and scripts and marketing shit. Harley being in SS in both the new 52 and the movies isn't a mistake nor is WW being Zeus's daughter.

But Cyborg was also in Robinson's JL anyway pre-Flashpoint.
>>
>>83519659
Isn't that why they tried so hard to place Icon on the team a few years back?
>>
>>83519659
Honestly I'm no longer sure that's the case it's clear nobody wants him so there must be some other reason for pushing him they have other black hero's they can use
>>

It did get into a fair few things auctualy

It is kind of strange how he just floats in and out.

If you have fate on the league you kill all chance of constantine ever helping you with anything
>>
>>83539869
Do they have history i am unaware of? And John staying away really all that bad, given his track record of getting people killed around him/being a dick to Swamp Thing.
>>
>>83540034
I forget what it was but wonder women did enlist John's help on something recently off panel
She did not enjoy the expirence

As for fate current constantine fucking hates fate.

He also doesent like earth 2 fate

And that league also had dick and supergirl. It was a legacy league.

>>83536248
>Cyborg has been a JL Member before the DCEU was announced you maroon.

And was pitched as a founding member by the CCO. The movie guy,


Cyborg got into the leagure thanks to Johns love for Hal.
>>
>>83540409
He was also in Smallville's JL but that was kind of a secondary roster anyway since they couldn't use certain characters.

Honestly, more than A Black Guy On The Justice League, I want to see a more low-scale team of black/minority characters actually from poor communities and stuff. Black Lightning, Rocket, Amazing Man, et cetera.
Cyborg doesn't get to be on the team because he's a rich guy. Likewise Steel and Mr Terrific, as much as I like them.
Dunno, I think it'd be an interesting perspective if written right, and it'd net DC those precious SJW brownie points too.

Fucking disgusting.

>>83541445
Morrison's JLA and Waid's by extension had a lot of those guys though.
