I think Anthony Daniels has the career as highest grossing actor all time but if it's not him it's gotta be her sooner or later, especially with 5 more avatar movies coming . Might as well put her in the new star wars too Edit I'm way off, slj is at 6.7b, rdj 5.6, scarjo 5.1 , Harrison Ford 4.9, Bradley Cooper 4.6. saldanna is are 4.07 in 10th just ahead of Daniels I do bet this isnt adjusted for inflation and Ford is actually#1 mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 19:06 on May 17, 2019 |

I'm convinced that the Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie is just a ploy to get Samuel L. Jackson in a Star Trek. But it's also possible that Jackson just walks onto random movie sets and they give him a role out of obligation.

I would like to see Sam Jackson as a Starfleet Captain telling a Jem Hadar or Species 7849 or the Borg to kiss his motherfucking rear end and gently caress off. Then Sisko can punch them out and put on cool shades.

My first reaction to thinking about Pattinson as Batman was to hate it, but some of the posts back up the chain reminded me about Ledger as Joker. I hated that choice as well, but the joke was on me when Ledger loving nailed the role. I don't know much about Reeves, but I enjoyed Cloverfield and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. So...maybe I'll like this? I'm still salty because I liked Ben Affleck's version of Bruce Wayne/Batman, and I really wanted to see a movie involving a grizzled Bruce and his one man war on crime.

My question about any potential Batman actor is, can he get really really buff or can they make his Bat Armor look like he is ridiculously buff, and the answer is always yes. Life is good to me on that account.

The only non-problematic version of Batman is the Silver Age one who went to mars and spanked pirates with cutlasses and poo poo. And even then, y’know, he’s dragging a kid along.

Superheroes kind of run into the problem that a huge majority of them are either wealthy or effectively lacking in any sort of money concerns. It's kind of baked into the concept because their basic idea is someone who has enough free time and resources to go around fighting crime. Spider-Man is the big neon glowing counterexample here and even then it has always been a trend towards giving him solutions because it's infinitely easier to write "Peter Parker gets help from the Fantastic Four/Tony Stark/himself from an alternate dimension/whatever" than to actually try to create a plausible character who is at once constantly struggling for money and also can devote 8+ hours a day towards swinging around fighting crime without it feeling false. That isn't to say it can't be done. It absolutely can and should. It's just that is why so many existing heroes have those particular advantages, which runs into the other problem of "we're basically doing nothing be regurgitating heroes from 50+ years ago, with almost no new characters created." And short of massive drastic changes to the characters (which naturally get really negative responses unless done extremely well) that means the Justice League is going to have multiple billionaires and the Avengers probably are 4/5ths people for who 'money troubles' is nonexistent. I'm honestly not even sure how you can fix it. You need to get a creator with a strong voice and a willingness to buck the status quo who also wants to make these changes, then somehow convince the studio to allow it, and then somehow make it excellent enough to make it a central part of the character so it doesn't get instantly retconned once enough people complain. (Looking at you, IM3 Mandarin.) The best way would be creating new superheroes but I genuinely can't remember the last time a non-DC/Marvel superhero was successful enough to be relevant for more than a single film. I guess technically the Incredibles but lol Disney. Maybe the Split/Unbreakable universe?

Kevin Conroy has the best Batvoice. Has actually come up that it's pretty difficult to make a nonwhite Batman without drastically changing his origin, since the whole Bruce Wayne deal is being old money and having major industry connections and a sprawling family manor. Says something that the closest nonwhite equivalent, Black Panther, is literal royalty. (and The Phantom might as well be. Also wondering how much of Black Panther was ripped from The Phantom now. Also a lot of issues with The Phantom would be solved by having him be mixed-race, makes a lot of sense for a family that's lived in Africa and actually gets along closely with Africans for generations)

And what's not to say PoC Batman doesn't have all that from a foreign country. Bruce Wei, his family attempted to flee China and was framed for anti-government actions. Bruce found Asylum as an orphan in the U.S. because the family's faithful butler snuck him out. Or something. Batman just needs to have Money. The Old Money poo poo isn't necessary in an era where people on YouTube can be millionaires for being shrill and white.

FilthyImp posted:New Money African-Americans get gunned down because they're "flaunting" wealth sounds like very fertile ground for a nonwhite Batman. The Old Money part is important for story elements involving the Wayne family's ties to Gotham. They are one of the city's founders from back in the colonial era. That being said, it doesn't preclude the Waynes from being a multiracial family. Or even ignoring it to focus on different parts of the Batman story.

Make Robert Pattinson the vampire Batman from that one animated justice league movie I watched. I think he was voiced by Michael C. Hall in that one. Edit: It also had Latino Superman. That movie was great.

The problem with ebonics is that it's a play on phonics which is in itself a method of teaching children to properly read, understand, and manipulate sound. The term ebonics sort of implied that black people have a paralleled and different understanding of phonics than white people. That isn't really true though. While there might exist gaps in traditional understanding of phonics because of systematic racism in our education system and broader system racial discrimination that impact parenting and development of black children, there are tons of people who take part in AAVE but can switch back to a more "standard" English at least as well as any non-Black American. In short if a black person says "dem," it's probably not because they can't properly manipulate the "th" sound in "them." It's just a different way to interpret the "th." But honestly the "dem" example is also not great, because by and large black and white people are mostly pronouncing things the same. "Th" as a d sound or dropped "Rs" tend to be more of an affectation than anything else. AAVE has a lot more to do with syntax and verb conjugation.
