/re " People Are Calling Absolute Batman Woke Garbage" | why is it mostly blackwashing tho? why no Norwegians or Mongolians?

 it's just such a weird fetish that they don't turn anyone indian or polynesian or spanish or mongolian or Japanese Okinawan or Norwegian (a caucasian? HISSssss); there's so many shades of the human identity ethnically to tap into, but it's always gotta be bland black african american, usually black female. That specifically is interesting, it's so bizarre. And they do nothing with that background, absolutely nothing warranting the change, because most of these creatives know NOTHING of the ethnic background to use in the first place. But they like the reactions from the swap. Just a base level DLC skin swap. 100% shallow.

That's not enough to ruin the entire book, but it says a lot about the writer that gimmicks matter more than substance. Could've made Barb a failed P.I or something, and her arc is becoming a realized detective & hacker through trailing Batman.

Something. From what I saw and remember, there was nothing of Barb worth intrigue in that issue worth talking about beyond the unnecessary swap & what says most about the writer: is that was likely the point.
