The hell did they do to Dr Midnite?

DC's color allergy is now showing up in in their TV shows.

I know what you mean. They're trying to make the DC universe more diverse, but I don't think it's working. The JSA is from World War II and there really wasn't much diversity then, so I don't really agree with this change.

Wait, they are making the JSA from WWII, but they made Dr Midnite be a black guy? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Those are some pretty cool JSA costumes.

You do know about the Tuskegee Airmen, right? And the 120,000 or so Japanese Americans placed in internment camps? Not to mention Chinese Americans, native Americans, Latinx Americans, Hispanic Americans...

There is literally a whole wikipedia page proving you are wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic...g_World_War_II

I'm not entirely sure on it, but it does take place during Nazi occupied Paris and the team features Commander Steel who appears the same age as his grandson.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was aware of the army being diverse during World War II, but I was referring to the time period when racial tensions were still high.

The title of Ben Affleck's Batman Movie has tentatively been revealed as "The Batman":

Not to be confused with the cartoon that aired on WB back in the early 2000s....

Should have been Batman v That Vampire From True Blood

The season 3 premiere of the Flash was interesting. I was surprised that that Flashpoint only lasted one episode. I thought this would be all season long. And now that everything is back to normal, Iris is gone. The scene with Dr. Alchemy was pretty cool.
