[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 1382151, member: 4049"] Yes, it was [i]Much Ado About Nothing[/i], a very good adaptation of the play. And, yes, it was an African American/black actor: Denzel Washington. I think the ethnic background of a character depends on the character. As an African American, I would have a problem with Superman suddenly being black. But, I didn't have a problem with Harvey Dent being black (Billie Dee Williams) in the first (and only good) [i]Batman[/i]. I didn't have a problem with Halle Berry as Catwoman... I do have a problem with a crappy costume and a bad move to isolate the character from its comic roots... Not to mention the fact that Michelle Pfiefer already played the character (and tolerably well despite the garbage story and direction). As for Beyonce... I think this could be a good cast if the direction is handled well. However, I've never imagined Lois Lane as drop dead gorgeous and Beyonce is far too attractive to may a plausible Lois... [/QUOTE]
