First of all, I don't get the appeal of Ruby Rose at all. I have not liked her movie appearances.

I am no comic book geek, but my understanding is that Batwoman has always been a "lipstick lesbian"--which Ms. Rose certainly is not. Hell, Scarlett Johannsen would be perfect for the role.

My comic geek brother is O.K. with Batwoman being gay--because that is what the character has always been. It's when the SJW idiots change the fundamental nature of an established character that my brother goes berserk.

Here's my suggestion to bend everyone's noodle. Let's have someone do an adaptation of the play Othello where Othello is white and all the other characters are black.

Lots of comic book characters, like Iceman of the X-Men, have been rewritten as gay.

One movie adaptation of The Fantastic Four made Johnny (The Human Torch) Storm, the full brother of White Susan (The Invisible Woman) Storm, Black.

The liberals sure are stubborn, aren’t they?

I'd like to think that has something to do with the "Stan Lee Held Captive in Own Home" stories that were circulating a little while ago, but it probably doesn't ...

Just a reminder to young ladies: tattoos are not an improvement! Nowadays you stand out in a crowd if you don’t have any. That’s how you can express your individuality.

“Just black? Surprised not also a homo who drives a Prius.”

That shocked me too. I know I’m in the minority, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Idris Elba playing Bond. Quite frankly, outside of Casino Royale, the Craig and Brosnan Bond movies have been various takes on the word “boring” and “predictable” (they really blew it with Spectre ... what a snoozer).

They could certainly take a risk to do something different ... I don’t think the franchise has much gas left in the tank overall (though I guess the box office draw has been good recently ... I can’t figure out why though).

The character is a Jewish lesbian; Rose is gender fluid and part of the LGBT community, but not Jewish, which isn't good enough for those who think the actor must check off all the same boxes as the character.

Okay, so who gets the part? Sandra Bernhard? Judy Gold (who I'd never heard of, but she checks both boxes)? How about a real dark horse, Miriam Margolyes from Harry Potter?

Bond needs to be retired!
The original Bond was a WWII vet.
A new SIS hero needs to be dreamed up.
To match the times make him a UK Muslim Trannie.

Jodi Foster better not play any more straight roles.

Since when is Bat Woman a homosexual?! These homosexual perverts are subverting our culture, our entertainment, our history. So now Batman, Bat Woman, Bond, our Star Wars, and Star Trek character are to be homosexuals?! Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan next? Captain Kirk? John McClane? Indiana Jones?

How does a woman that is being cast as a lead actress get work with all those tats on her? I know they can digitally take them off for a movie or TV show but it’s expensive.

I would not hire just on the Tats alone. Well that is one show I can avoid.

Batwoman was not always gay, that is more recent I think.

I loved Spectre and thought it was pretty good.

I don’t see why that tattooed young man can’t play Kate Kane. He looks like he could pull it off.

The old Batwoman of the Fifties wasn't.

The new millenium Batwoman is.

Trace the history of this stuff and it's hard to take it seriously.

Writers go with whatever they think will sell and hope reader's memories aren't long.
