I look forward to watching a 2 hour Batman movie where Batman never takes a punch.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

She's old money too. You could change that of course. Bottom line you'd have to fundamentally change Bruce's back story to swap his ethnicity. He really is a uniquely white character. It would be like making Black Panther white. He's from a long line of African Kings. Batman's successor could be black. You could make Terry McGinnis black or even Damien Wayne or Dick Grayson.

I was thinking something such as: young African American kid witnesses parents killed by bad cop during routine traffic stop. He then lives through childhood in foster care, in and out of trouble. He's eventually taken in by one of Gotham's oldest, loneliest magnates as some kind of late-life PR move. Kid takes a liking to old man, gets adopted, learns and travels and inherits his fortune after he suspiciously dies on a business trip.
Then he falls in hole and gets lifted out by bats.

If Batman was recast as black or a woman the ensuring internet meltdown would be far more compelling than the movie could EVER hope to be
