You can't make black panther white because his ancestry and place of origin is directly tied to his character. Barbara Gordon's race has absolutely nothing to do with her character. Same thing if you made Spawn white, it wouldn't really change much about the character.
I can’t tell if this video is suppose to be serious or comedy since most of it was just him calling something woke or gay.

It’s not like they changed the main universe or a pre existing one. All I can suggest for this guy is being outside more and on the internet less if this video was serious.
Ive already made a comment explaining this, but just so others can understand why changing Barbra Gordon black isn't a bad thing: Changing the color of Jim or Barbra Gordon is a lot easier because it's the same character regardless; nothing has changed. The difference between characters like black panther and Luke Cage is that their characters' history and personalities are affected by being black. For example, black panther is the leader of an African country that has isolated itself from European powers. So, it wouldn't make sense to change the skin color to white because it would mess with the story. Luke Cage protects Harlem and has various canonical storylines focusing on his race, background, and the black culture of Harlem in the 1970s and 200s. If you're not a comic book fan, you could watch the TV show and see this adaptation of the canon multiple times. It would be odd for a white Luke Cage to experience racism from a white cop for being white haha. Luke Cage also expresses his feelings about the effect of systematic racism and white privilege on not just himself but African Americans as a race in general. So, with that being said, changing Barbra Gordon black doesn't make as much of any difference as changing someone like Harley Quinn asian in the new Batman Caped Crusader animated series. it's still the same character with no complications. I hope this makes sense, as I see comments like this often. Hey and either way, Absolute Batman is still loved by Batman fans I actually enjoy it myself.

At this point in time, it's no wonder people are looking ELSWHERE outside of mainstream media for something good and entertaining. People come to media for escapism first and foremost, be it with their films, shows, comics, games, novels, etc. Plus, there's a proper way to incorporate social commentary into stories without having to bash your audience in the head with it. Creative writers call it "subtlety", which is what allows the audience to end your story having learned the lessons on their own and of their own accord... not just cuz they got bullied and gaslit into thinking they're an "istophobe" if they disagreed with what the author/director/actor/developer wants to say through their work. PERIOD
I mean, no black people or anyone from the "woke" community had an issue with the lighter skin color as far as I can remember but it was really a issue with not thinking that it was the right casting (actor) for the role given his past. Me personally, I don't really care as long as the actor does a good job so we may have to just wait to see how he does.

Everytime someone's only criticism to piece of media is just 'woke garbage' i immediately understand that they don't actually have a good criticism to make
I love it when woke people deal with double standards. They are fine with black Barbara, but get triggered by white Blade. I dare them to make a Tarzan movie and cast Tarzan as a black person. Come on!!!
Denzel Washington as Old Man Tarzan for the win. But lets face it, if they made a new Tarzan they'd cast Pedro Pascal as Tarzan, Aquafina as Jane, and the chimp would be voiced by Jack Black.
Kind of interesting how you “Anti-woke” people always say the same thing. You’re getting made over a black person in the comic? I think there’s a word for that bucko
its not really a double standard. The difference is that one side is getting diversity and representation without any actual changes to the story or character. I'm sure you can gues which side that is

@@Launchpad05I agree, I mean I love Zack Snyder’s DCEU, but it has issues as well, but at least, he didn’t make any characters gay. Unlike Bruce in this, he looks stupid. He looks like a girl with one of the worst haircuts ever. And that is not Batman at all. I have read Batman Endgame, also written by Scott Snyder, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s actually not bad. Yes it has problems because it’s the New 52 comic, but overall, I enjoyed it. So what the actual crap happened with Scott Snyder with this?
Honestly, I gave up on Batman because of his run. He inserts Batman as this character who can do literally everything all the time because of his le big brain. Sadly people really do think Batman can easily take on the entire Justice League because "he's planned for possible outcome." Snyder completely brain rotted Batman fans.
I had been reading Batman comics for a few decades and had a good grasp of what Batman is to me when my buddy loaned me his copy of the Court of Owls trade paperback. As soon as Batman punched Nightwing, I knew this wasn't a Batman comic for me. I did give Tom King a chance and that didn't turn out well either.
That Batmobile....that's not a 'construction vehicle,' that's a dump-truck from a mine! Is there a coal mine in Gotham City? How does he even get that down the road? He wouldn't be able to cross an intersection without knocking down the signal lights...
I have no intention of giving DC the satisfaction of a single sale of this comic book even if it's just from the random comic book store I go to so I haven't read it but I don't know what the hell these people liked about it so much that they'll freak out at you for not liking it unless they just really like reading left wing political propaganda or watching everything about a famous comic book character get completely ruined. I looked through some of the comments of that video after I watched it and the people weren't even really saying anything they liked about the book they were just saying horrible things about you because you didn't like it. This video was a justified follow up.
Yeah, I saw your last video's comments. So much Reddit soy in there, it looked like a Kamala Harris rally. I agree with your criticism, but there really hasn't been a good Batman in a long time now, in comics or out of them (no, Batfleck and Patman both sucked and I seriously hate "The Batman" almost as much as the Snyderverse.) Here have another upvote.
Wokeness has nothing to do with political correctness wokeness is supposed to combat political correctness wokeness is supposed to challenge the status quo so if you're claiming woke and you're not a rebel that means the rebels have won or you're misusing the word and the rebels haven't won so you're misusing the word
@@whichjaytodayyou don’t know the definition of woke. You’re ignorant. “Woke is being aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). Also politically liberal or progressive (as in matters of racial and social justice) especially in a way that is considered unreasonable or extreme”.
Remember when it was revealed that during the rebooted G4 TV's hiring process, they asked why Batman should be canceled? Because he's a rich white male.. They've been wanting to castrate Batman for a while now.. This is the dream of a blue haired land whale. Also, the people who DC comics are catering to aren't going to buy the comic.
I find it interesting how there are people in the comments saying 'it's just comics, it's not that deep. Go outside and touch grass' when they can see the title of this video, see the thumbnail, and are then acting like your take is unresonable....In what world did this video give the impression that it was going to be a calm collected video that was going to appeal to the audiences sensiblities? I knew this was going to be a rant, it's what i clicked on it for, and it didn't disappoint. It was actually pretty awesome to see how passionate you were about it. 👍
Where does this versions of batman get the time to get all martial to make his suit, weapons, Batmobile along side bing a full time engineer while staying in contact with his living mother. Him being a CEO of a fortune 500 company that has an advance R&D division developing the tech for his war on crime made scenes. Batman losing his parents being the motivation for him to fight crime and not take a like makes scenes. Even if Batman only lost his dad and having that be the catalyst to push Bruce to be Batman still works but Batman being a savage butcher is not making scenes.
Black Panter "white"... 😂 That was hilarious 😆 Better explained can't be possible. A race and sex swap is plain stupid and unnecessary. Why can't they just create a freaking new character??? 😒
I hear you, but I think some of the points you brought up will/can be addressed in the later issues, I dunno why they changed some of things they did, but I think this is to signify to the reader that this universe is a bit unorthodox to the stories they’ve read in the past. Plus I don’t think you’re giving the story a fair shake when you’re dismissing it after one chapter.

Way to go man! I love how you speak your opinion. I've had my comments taken down and I was no where near as harsh as you. I don't think I have to worry about having a comment being removed from your vids. Subscribed!
An argument could be made that being black is intrinsic to Black Panther while being white isn't intrinsic to Barbara Gordon. It doesn't seem that complicated. I think people are bringing up your appearance mainly to point out that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You seem very opinionated on superficial aspects of characters, and how gay things are, and it instantly feels a little hypocritical when you look like you do. I'm glad you're obviously not bothered by your features, but you see why it was brought up, right?
One could argue that if someone made an alternate universe Black Panther his race could be change which according to DC and Marvel fanboys it should be ok because "its a different universe" He criticized how cringy a character looks while you people attack a 15 year old by how he looks and make weird comments about him looking gay which sounds like something a discord gro,omer would say
@SnipeJackal I genuinely didn't mean to imply he looked gay. He doesn't look gay, in as much as anyone looks gay. He's only 15? Ok. I don't care what gets done to any character particularly. Just gave a reasonable explanation why one thing would be an issue while the other wouldn't. I did point out he doesn't look conventionally good looking, and I am glad that doesn't bother him. I'm more bothered by this spread of toxic weirdos online. I think it's valid for people to not go out of their way to be nice to him while he purposely tries to upset others.
You do realize this is a new universe, right? “Absolute Batman” is a deeper take on what would happen if Bruce didn’t grow up with billions, just like “Rebirth” did. What if we find out Barbara is adopted? If you don’t like it, it’s cool. But trashing Snyder because he doesn’t want to use the mold just comes off at “Grifty”.
Yet he has a vehicle which tires cost the best part of a hundred thousand dollars 🤣😂🤣 make it make sense, also how the fuck does he move with an axe head in his chest, this whole idea is ridiculous
As a white man I will feel offended until Marvel´s Black Panther, The Falcon, Storm, War Machine, Photon and Luke Cage will be turned into white blonde people
well, changing the color of Jim Gordon is a lot easier because it's the same character regardless; nothing has changed. The difference between characters like black panther and Luke Cage is that their characters' history and personalities are affected by being black. For example, black panther is the leader of an African country that has isolated itself from European powers. So, it wouldn't make sense to change the skin color to white because it would mess with the story.

@blackishsheep9156 they have been replacing red haired characters for black for a while now. It's weird. There are a TON or switches. Google it as someone put them all together and it's alarming
@@blackishsheep9156Those were a lot of words to justify your double standards regarding race swapping Harley Quinn was completely changed in the Caped Crusader it wasnt just the race swap her origin and motivations not longer resemble her original character Regarding your example about Luke Cage what if they changed the race of the cop and make him black? If that was the case then it would make sense plus they could change the setting of Harlem to any other place after all if they had no issue with creating different universes where they change the race of characters who where originally white why not make a white Luke Cage universe? After Marvel, DC and their fanboys claim that everything goes as long as its an alternate world The same goes with Black Panther some one could make a movie thats not tied to the MCU or the comics and make him white and add a justification to the story as for why all of the other people in Wakanda all suddenly white would you be fine with that?

0:16 Alright, so please, indulge my curiosity. How does one respond to nothing? You can't. The only two arguments you've got are that you dislike this comic for branching off and taking Batman in a different direction (which is the point of this new absolute universe/else world stories as a whole) and that you don't like race swapping (Great, race swapping is bad, the reason you dislike it is stupid. You think Black people don't deserve representation and already have enough of that and should be back to being nonexistant in media. You also can't disern when race fundamentally matters to a story). Both arguments are garbage and barely even arguments. Otherwise you haven't provided any argument or reasoning for your beliefs or opinions other than emotionally charged political bullshit. When you find a real reason to dislike absolute batman - instead of just arbitrary calling design choices you dislike gay or trans - come back and talk to us.
It's all meant to trigger and divide. You guys have to stop taking the bait and getting emotional. While I agree with most of your commentary, some of it is the polarity the overlords of this place want to see pitted against one another so that they can profit off of it.

I actually enjoyed Snyder's Batman run for the most part. There were some misses for sure but overall it was fine. That said, this gimmick won't work for very long if the story and characters aren't amazing, and race/gender swapping is not character development. It's just a gimmick.
I was considering picking up Absolute Batman #1 because I though the idea of him not being rich and his villains being his friends could make for some interesting stories, but I'm glad I watched your videos, before I did. So tired of everything being woke.
LOL. I love the way you explain things. Nice to see someone so young actually love real comic books and knows comic book history. I also agree with your statement on swearing. I hate when people get excited and describe a comic as bad ass, or edgy because a character swears. Especially when it doesn't fit the character. I tried watching one episode of Harley Quin the cartoon. Every character swears and it just turned me off. It was unnatural and not fitting of the characters and the situation. I haven't read the comic book Absolutely Batman and it has been quite some time since I have bought a comic book. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore. Not really a fan of the art from what I have seen. I really enjoyed Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns. That is about as bulky as I want to see Batman. Just saying.
Just vote with your wallet if you don’t like it don’t purchase the comic, if the comic is as bad as you are saying it won’t last 10 issues. However I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna last a lot longer than 10 issues. While I don’t agree with your opinion you are entitled to it, please try to keep an open mind with this series because if you keep comparing it to legendary runs by millar and loeb you won’t see any redeeming qualities than may be in the comic as the comic defiantly won’t live up to those amazing stories.

lol Me too.

You got a lot of spirit, son.
I love it when woke people deal with double standards. They are fine with black Barbara, but get triggered by white Blade.
I dare them to make a Tarzan movie and cast Tarzan as a black person.
Come on!!!
Denzel Washington as Old Man Tarzan for the win.
But lets face it, if they made a new Tarzan they'd cast Pedro Pascal as Tarzan, Aquafina as Jane, and the chimp would be voiced by Jack Black.
Kind of interesting how you “Anti-woke” people always say the same thing. You’re getting made over a black person in the comic? I think there’s a word for that bucko
its not really a double standard. The difference is that one side is getting diversity and representation without any actual changes to the story or character. I'm sure you can gues which side that is
@@blackishsheep9156 Okay. Make an alternative universe where Black Panther is White Panther and he's from Norway, fighting for the vikings and he is white.
DO IT.

Scott Snyder as a writer is massively overrated.
Worse than Zack Snyder.
@@Launchpad05I agree, I mean I love Zack Snyder’s DCEU, but it has issues as well, but at least, he didn’t make any characters gay. Unlike Bruce in this, he looks stupid. He looks like a girl with one of the worst haircuts ever. And that is not Batman at all. I have read Batman Endgame, also written by Scott Snyder, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s actually not bad. Yes it has problems because it’s the New 52 comic, but overall, I enjoyed it. So what the actual crap happened with Scott Snyder with this?
Always has been. He's lucky to be writing in a time when there are barely any genuinely good writers working for the big 2
Honestly, I gave up on Batman because of his run. He inserts Batman as this character who can do literally everything all the time because of his le big brain. Sadly people really do think Batman can easily take on the entire Justice League because "he's planned for possible outcome." Snyder completely brain rotted Batman fans.
I had been reading Batman comics for a few decades and had a good grasp of what Batman is to me when my buddy loaned me his copy of the Court of Owls trade paperback. As soon as Batman punched Nightwing, I knew this wasn't a Batman comic for me. I did give Tom King a chance and that didn't turn out well either.
That Batmobile....that's not a 'construction vehicle,' that's a dump-truck from a mine! Is there a coal mine in Gotham City? How does he even get that down the road? He wouldn't be able to cross an intersection without knocking down the signal lights...

I have no intention of giving DC the satisfaction of a single sale of this comic book even if it's just from the random comic book store I go to so I haven't read it but I don't know what the hell these people liked about it so much that they'll freak out at you for not liking it unless they just really like reading left wing political propaganda or watching everything about a famous comic book character get completely ruined. I looked through some of the comments of that video after I watched it and the people weren't even really saying anything they liked about the book they were just saying horrible things about you because you didn't like it. This video was a justified follow up.
Yeah, I saw your last video's comments. So much Reddit soy in there, it looked like a Kamala Harris rally. I agree with your criticism, but there really hasn't been a good Batman in a long time now, in comics or out of them (no, Batfleck and Patman both sucked and I seriously hate "The Batman" almost as much as the Snyderverse.) Here have another upvote.
Thanks bro!

What's the definition of woke?
its a modern colloquialism for Political Correctness, you know exactly what it means.
Wokeness has nothing to do with political correctness wokeness is supposed to combat political correctness wokeness is supposed to challenge the status quo so if you're claiming woke and you're not a rebel that means the rebels have won or you're misusing the word and the rebels haven't won so you're misusing the word
@@whichjaytoday lol keep telling yourself that
Well considering how I am a person who actually knows the definition of woke I will
@@whichjaytodayyou don’t know the definition of woke. You’re ignorant.
“Woke is being aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). Also politically liberal or progressive (as in matters of racial and social justice) especially in a way that is considered unreasonable or extreme”.

Understandable not liking absolute batman personally i like this version of him but people need to chill it's just an opinion
Remember when it was revealed that during the rebooted G4 TV's hiring process, they asked why Batman should be canceled? Because he's a rich white male.. They've been wanting to castrate Batman for a while now.. This is the dream of a blue haired land whale. Also, the people who DC comics are catering to aren't going to buy the comic.

Where does this versions of batman get the time to get all martial to make his suit, weapons, Batmobile along side bing a full time engineer while staying in contact with his living mother. Him being a CEO of a fortune 500 company that has an advance R&D division developing the tech for his war on crime made scenes. Batman losing his parents being the motivation for him to fight crime and not take a like makes scenes. Even if Batman only lost his dad and having that be the catalyst to push Bruce to be Batman still works but Batman being a savage butcher is not making scenes.
Black Panter "white"... 😂
That was hilarious 😆
Better explained can't be possible.
A race and sex swap is plain stupid and unnecessary.
Why can't they just create a freaking new character??? 😒
I hear you, but I think some of the points you brought up will/can be addressed in the later issues, I dunno why they changed some of things they did, but I think this is to signify to the reader that this universe is a bit unorthodox to the stories they’ve read in the past. Plus I don’t think you’re giving the story a fair shake when you’re dismissing it after one chapter.

This is the first video of this guy I’ve seen and I want to hang out with this guy. I agree with everything this guys said
Absolutely. If this guy ever came to NY, I'd buy him a fleet of drinks at the pub of his choice.
An argument could be made that being black is intrinsic to Black Panther while being white isn't intrinsic to Barbara Gordon. It doesn't seem that complicated.
I think people are bringing up your appearance mainly to point out that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You seem very opinionated on superficial aspects of characters, and how gay things are, and it instantly feels a little hypocritical when you look like you do. I'm glad you're obviously not bothered by your features, but you see why it was brought up, right?
One could argue that if someone made an alternate universe Black Panther his race could be change which according to DC and Marvel fanboys it should be ok because "its a different universe"
He criticized how cringy a character looks while you people attack a 15 year old by how he looks and make weird comments about him looking gay which sounds like something a discord gro,omer would say
@SnipeJackal I genuinely didn't mean to imply he looked gay. He doesn't look gay, in as much as anyone looks gay.
He's only 15? Ok.
I don't care what gets done to any character particularly. Just gave a reasonable explanation why one thing would be an issue while the other wouldn't.
I did point out he doesn't look conventionally good looking, and I am glad that doesn't bother him. I'm more bothered by this spread of toxic weirdos online. I think it's valid for people to not go out of their way to be nice to him while he purposely tries to upset others.
You do realize this is a new universe, right? “Absolute Batman” is a deeper take on what would happen if Bruce didn’t grow up with billions, just like “Rebirth” did.
What if we find out Barbara is adopted? If you don’t like it, it’s cool. But trashing Snyder because he doesn’t want to use the mold just comes off at “Grifty”.
I don't like that, it screams rich
People cannot be good messaging.
Yet he has a vehicle which tires cost the best part of a hundred thousand dollars 🤣😂🤣 make it make sense, also how the fuck does he move with an axe head in his chest, this whole idea is ridiculous
@Matt_Wilson01
All of it is ridiculous bro.
@Matt_Wilson01 It's almost as if comicbooks are fictional 🤯
As a white man I will feel offended until Marvel´s Black Panther, The Falcon, Storm, War Machine, Photon and Luke Cage will be turned into white blonde people
well, changing the color of Jim Gordon is a lot easier because it's the same character regardless; nothing has changed. The difference between characters like black panther and Luke Cage is that their characters' history and personalities are affected by being black. For example, black panther is the leader of an African country that has isolated itself from European powers. So, it wouldn't make sense to change the skin color to white because it would mess with the story. Luke Cage protects Harlem and has various canonical storylines focusing on his race, background, and the black culture of Harlem in the 1970s and 200s. If you're not a comic book fan, you could watch the TV show and see this adaptation of the canon multiple times. It would be odd for a white Luke Cage to experience racism from a white cop for being white haha. Luke Cage also expresses his feelings about the effect of systematic racism and white privilege on not just himself but African Americans as a race in general. So, with that being said, changing Barbra Gordon black doesn't make as much of any difference as changing someone like Harley Quinn asian in the new Batman Caped Crusader animated series. it's still the same character with no complications. I hope this makes sense, as I see comments like this often.
@blackishsheep9156 they have been replacing red haired characters for black for a while now. It's weird. There are a TON or switches. Google it as someone put them all together and it's alarming
@@blackishsheep9156no its because their origins are woke
So how about we just leave all characters as they are in the original IP ? How about that ?
@@blackishsheep9156Those were a lot of words to justify your double standards regarding race swapping
Harley Quinn was completely changed in the Caped Crusader it wasnt just the race swap her origin and motivations not longer resemble her original character
Regarding your example about Luke Cage what if they changed the race of the cop and make him black? If that was the case then it would make sense plus they could change the setting of Harlem to any other place after all if they had no issue with creating different universes where they change the race of characters who where originally white why not make a white Luke Cage universe? After Marvel, DC and their fanboys claim that everything goes as long as its an alternate world
The same goes with Black Panther some one could make a movie thats not tied to the MCU or the comics and make him white and add a justification to the story as for why all of the other people in Wakanda all suddenly white would you be fine with that?
i love this guy
I didn't see any woke move.

0:16 Alright, so please, indulge my curiosity. How does one respond to nothing? You can't.
The only two arguments you've got are that you dislike this comic for branching off and taking Batman in a different direction (which is the point of this new absolute universe/else world stories as a whole) and that you don't like race swapping (Great, race swapping is bad, the reason you dislike it is stupid. You think Black people don't deserve representation and already have enough of that and should be back to being nonexistant in media. You also can't disern when race fundamentally matters to a story). Both arguments are garbage and barely even arguments.
Otherwise you haven't provided any argument or reasoning for your beliefs or opinions other than emotionally charged political bullshit. When you find a real reason to dislike absolute batman - instead of just arbitrary calling design choices you dislike gay or trans - come back and talk to us.

Why DragonBall and rap music?
Every version of Batman is just a reflection of that generation.
I actually enjoyed Snyder's Batman run for the most part. There were some misses for sure but overall it was fine.
That said, this gimmick won't work for very long if the story and characters aren't amazing, and race/gender swapping is not character development. It's just a gimmick.
I was considering picking up Absolute Batman #1 because I though the idea of him not being rich and his villains being his friends could make for some interesting stories, but I'm glad I watched your videos, before I did. So tired of everything being woke.
@josephspaulding3906 Did you watch the video? One example would be them blackwashing Barbra Gordon.
LOL. I love the way you explain things. Nice to see someone so young actually love real comic books and knows comic book history. I also agree with your statement on swearing. I hate when people get excited and describe a comic as bad ass, or edgy because a character swears. Especially when it doesn't fit the character. I tried watching one episode of Harley Quin the cartoon. Every character swears and it just turned me off. It was unnatural and not fitting of the characters and the situation. I haven't read the comic book Absolutely Batman and it has been quite some time since I have bought a comic book. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore. Not really a fan of the art from what I have seen. I really enjoyed Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns. That is about as bulky as I want to see Batman. Just saying.

Just vote with your wallet if you don’t like it don’t purchase the comic, if the comic is as bad as you are saying it won’t last 10 issues.
However I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna last a lot longer than 10 issues.
While I don’t agree with your opinion you are entitled to it, please try to keep an open mind with this series because if you keep comparing it to legendary runs by millar and loeb you won’t see any redeeming qualities than may be in the comic as the comic defiantly won’t live up to those amazing stories.
