SyFy's been skating by for the longest time due to gaining somewhat of a legit status due to the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Prior to that SyFy's biggest claim to fame was probably Farscape and that was produced by in Australia for a network there. And the only reason SyFy even fucked with it at all was due to the Jim Henson Company doing make-up & creature effects for the series.

And Krypton isn't even the first comic book related series they had in their line up this year that had both a following & acclaim going for it. Both Happy & Deadly Class got the axe. I never watched Happy, but there were a good deal of non nerd types at my work who did and they were beyond pissed that it was cancelled.

Agreed. If they brought in a black robin who eventually took the mantle fine but it always feels like pandering when they do it like this. I don't like feeling I'm being pandered to. I wonder if Asian fans want an Asian Blade or would they appreciate a completely different fleshed out character like a Jamie Reyes who is the Blue Beetle?
I like that they created another Kryptonian Val Zod who happens to be black rather than give us a black Kal El. What will be will be but as a fan this doesnt excite me.

Exactly.

It's like they don't care to use their creativity for new black characters. Like It's not worth putting the thought into it. It would literally cost them nothing to imagine a new character. They aren't bound by physics or anything, just imagination.

Batman in blackface
 
Since Batman has been temporarily replaced by at least half a dozen different people over the years, giving a black man a year or two under the cowl isn't that big of a deal. As long as they aren't race-swapping Bruce Wayne I don't have an issue with it.

I don't get that either. Falcon replacing Cap is different because he is still falcon with a new title.

Anyway I don't really care because I'm not much of a DC fan.
 
DC logic:

There are other rich, genius guys that are extremely talented in martial arts that have the same resources and imagination as Bruce Wayne, and they just sit around as a back up just in case something happens to him

I'm gonna just chalk it up to strange DC "logic." A bunch of coo coo birds

HBO Announces October 20 Premiere Date for Watchmen
Sep 2019


HBO has announced the premiere date for its much-anticipated Watchmen series starring Regina King: October 20 at 9:00 PM.

Per Deadline: “Directed by Nicole Kassell from a script written by Leftovers alum [Damon] Lindelof, the pilot for this sequel of sorts to the borderline dystopian depicted in the award-winning 1980s comic series finds an America ruled by long-serving President Robert Redford. An alternative 2019 America where the best intentions have seen technology curtailed, the police now hidden by masks like the outlawed superheroes and white supremacy having picked up the legacy of the infamous Rorschach.

“Along with Don Johnson as the Tulsa Police chief, Jeremy Irons plays an aged and seemingly dispirited Ozymandias and Jean Smart as a past Silk Spectre. The heavily radiated Doctor Manhattan is in there too, but is unclear to what extent so far.
