It's the same thing as making Human Torch black just for the sake of it. I really hope that studios don't limit themselves that way. The best actor should get the role, not depending on race, belief, gender or orientation. |

The best suggestion from this thread is Sam Claflin. He was perfect as Finnick in Catching Fire (and the people that flipped out when he was cast all changed their tune after they saw it). He's already in good shape and definitely has the look and range to be a perfect Flash.

If they want an more diverse background, then just have John Jones black since he's been portrayed as such in most mediums as of late and bring in cyborg as well. |

I wouldn't mind if Mamoa was playing him. But if they want a multi racial Justice League they can already do it with existing characters. Superman - White Batman - White Wonder Woman - White Green Lantern (Kyle) - Hispanic Flash (Barry) - White Cyborg - Black Martian Manhunter (John Jones) - Black And there you have it. A Justice League which has 42 percent of it's roster as non whites and manages to do it without altering characters. Sure Kyle probably shouldn't be around at the same time as Barry, but screw it. Compare that to Avengers where if you don't count Fury because he's not really an Avenger is 100% white. |

Our Wonder Woman is being played by an actress of Israeli/Middle Eastern background, so there are further diversity points right there.
I really enjoyed Ryan Choi as The Atom, and would like to see him in a JLA movie. People rarely seem to remember Asians when they think of diversity, however. Unless they think of cute Asian women. With bare thighs.

![]() The way Warner Bros think and act, I can see them go with Hal and a latino Flash, not even knowing they could have Kyle in the film. They are a little backwards sometimes. |

Wouldn't the backward thing be making the fourth Lantern the first Lantern?

I would rather warm up to the idea of just Barry Allen being in this film and his final scene being a set up for his own film later on.
Just have him come in for his professor under the CSI unit from Central City, perhaps exploring whatever scientific mystery/plot that Lex has going on. |

I'd rather have hispanic Hal Jordan or hispanic John Stewart than Kyle for the first movie.

or instead of turning a character like hal or barry hispanic, they can be played by one so long as the accent isn't an issue since, we come in all sorts of colors. I'd prefer that then changing the characters ethnicity.

I agree. I didn't have a problem with Dean Cain, (Canadian, Irish, Welsh, and Japanese) or Henry Cavill (British) being Superman. Superman was still from Kansas in Lois & Clark and Man of Steel.

2: How do they usually end up for the worst? What about changing the race of a fictional character in an adaptation is inherently predisposed towards a negative outcome? What examples can you give of that which illustrate that it has a higher likelihood of ending badly than ending well?

They know that, Snyder, Goyer, Affleck... are comic book fans, so we'll see. And if they use Cyborg and Martian Manhunter, the JL will be diverse enough to avoid unnecessary changes.

What matters is if Warner Bros know about Kyle. They are in charge and can force any direction with story/characters.

Well, if they're going to use a GL, it will probably be either Hal or John, not Kyle Rayner. Anyway, hopefully all these rumors will end soon since shooting starts in February.

I like Foster, but I think he's better at playing psychos, creeps and drug addicts. Seeing him as someone as mild-mannered as Barry Allen almost seems like a waste.
I really, REALLY want them to make a Layne Staley biopic and cast Foster. |
