It’s Black History Month in North America and the United Kingdom.

 

I’m inspired to celebrate some of my favorite African-American superheroes and update fans on their status in their comic book universes.

 

These fictional characters are not as important as civil rights leaders, boundary breaking athletes, artists or scientists. It’s important to celebrate diversity in comic books. The irony is most these fan-favorite black characters were created by white males but by recognizing these heroes it might inspire new writers and artists of all backgrounds to push for new voices to be heard and give all readers more diversity in comics.

The casting of Gal Gabot as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Superman vs. Batman sequel to Man of Steel inspired an explosion from fans over the internet. The Israeli actress from the Fast and Furious franchise steps into the role of the most famous woman in comic books in her big screen debut.

 

Here’s what I’m hoping for from the film now starring DC Comics Big Three:

 

She’s Diana – like Man of Steel and Batman Begins I want to see Gabot as the Amazon Warrior who evolves into or is ready to become Wonder Woman by the end of  the movie (and spin off into her own film!) Maybe we don’t even see Diana in the iconic costume until the end? Continue reading WONDER WOMAN in SUPERMAN BATMAN Inspires Geek Dreams
