The Issue with Deadshot

[AdderTude]

My big gripe with Deadshot is how Rocksteady was like "Yeah, that's the same Deadshot from the Arkham series."
Fans: "But Deadshot was white in the Arkham games."
Devs: "Uhhhhh, it's a retcon! He was always black!"

Keep ticking those diversity boxes, Rocksteady.

that is most asinine reason one could ever come up with
bravo!

even if they were accused, those ignants would be shut by the fans withing 1 second
they could do Bloodsport if they wanted "black guy shoots guns" so much. Not ruin their own continunity for no reason.
Also for all you "non racist" concerns Deadshot in Arkham City already looked like Latino.

deadshot is way more recognizable than bloodsport. also they didn’t ruin their continuity, they gave an explanation. it was a dumb explanation, i’ll give you that, but the continuity is fine.

And what will you say when in next games they will make Batman african american and then say Bruce Wayne we played all this time was actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ copycat/clay face/hush?

Changing Deadshot this way is inexcusable. They could use Will Evans Deadshot if they wanted black Deadshot so much.

I am really tired to talk to people who don't care. You acting all cool and calm until it is all too late for you.

there are certain characters that DC can get away with changing the race of. batman ain’t one of them. not to mention bruce was not just an integral part of the arkham storyline, he was THE CORE while deadshot was in side quests.

In reality there are none. Otherwise this thread and many like this wouldn't exist.

What slippery slop? I am pretty consistent.

just because some randos whined about it on a forum doesn't mean dc can easily do it without much reprocussions.

What's done is done, I don't really care or plan to harass them to change stuff.
Only thing I will 100% harass them if they won't add Justice League playable, at least in paid DLC in a span of the year or two since the release. THEN will be virtual cartooney digital "blood", I swear.
I am just pointing out at stupid decisions. Runining their own Arkhamverse. At least say this isn't really Arkhamverse, how hard can That be.

Also they should add other Suicide Squad members, if King Shark, Harley (who looks rather like her pre pub daughter), inclusive (for movies people) Deadshot and probably son of a Boomerang (judging by his speed force powers) Is all? No no no no.
Also don't love how they not only ALL have guns, but dedicated guns. Instead of like just their standard powers/abilities , but can pick up assault rifle or machine gun lying on the ground.
Or that Deadshot already has jetpack. And Harley uses grappling hook instead of Pego Stick or something. Just overall thing looks more like DC comics inspired third person moba shooter thing like Gotham City Imposters, rather than an actual DC comics game with DC characters using dedicated arsenal from all previous comics, films, cartoons and nothing more (like their own Batman games which are just amalgamation of all devices from comics, Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher and Chris Nolan movies)

And I think Stenton actually wanted to do Superman videogame, but WB in their everalsting brilliance forced them to do this instead. So If I will be harassing it is WB, not Rocksteady.

I'm not racist like a lot of these people, I just they should've simply made him opposite of the films for variety.

EDIT: Funny, just realized the thread title "The problem with Deadshot"
LMAO mofo there is no problem with Deadshot, the only problem he is that your a biggot ass.

Yeah keep crying racist you sissy sjw's.
How about we call you racist for wanting to race swap every character?
I blame that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miles morales for this ♥♥♥♥.

miles is a separate character from peter. it's not a race-swap.

He's a race swap. He has a lot of plot padding to make the race swap less annoying, but it's still a very obvious race swap. Miles himself is a good kid, though, and kind of a cool character if you ignore his reason for existing. The people who created him as a race swap are the ones you need to blame. Like many bad things in comic books, Bendis did it

There's also Blackrock to think about. If being woke got you millions of dollars, you'd be woke

cuZ mr Will Smith had to ruin everything

[Leon]

I think Floyd Lawton was never well portraied in almost any adaptation he was in , what is sad cause he is one of the few C-grade villains to have such well defined looks and personality

He is that mix of Tony Stark and Deathstroke, humorous , sharp tongue , sarcastic , love his familly , had suffered great loss , he had a rich backstory in the comics . His mustache is a trade mark as well as being always smoking .

He had two live-action version in series ( that i know ). One in Smallville and other in Arrow, in both they are just generic dudes that dons't look the part and are basiclly mute .All they have in common with Lawton were the name , the monocle and shooting .

In the movie , i think the race swap was really unnecessary , for cast diversity they could have easily used Bronze Tiger that is one of the greatest martial artists of DC universe .
Lawton personallity is not there too , in the movie he is mostly serious and stoic save for some quips here and there .

But even in comic books it seems DC doens't care for those well defined traits as he was completely changed in the new 52 , turned into a generic guy like the ones from Smallville and Arrow

The cartoons got him right tho , in Justice League unlimited he was great

i wonder if you "gamers" would complain if a character went from black to white lmao

no, you multiple hearts off, we aren't hypocrites, unlike you. At least you can't prove it. And we both know you never will.
Changing phyisical appearance of ALREADY established character will always be stupid.
Unless ofc big twist will be that this Floyd is actually Will Evans .
Anyways. Just hope there will be classic Deadshot costume from comics.

I know i would and alread had . When Wanted was adapted i was mad they changed Fox race , the character was made to be played by Hale Berry .

Tho , the double standards do exist .There was that girl who wrote for some entertaiment site , she would complain when white poeple were cast in anime adaptations and then said
"deal with it " , when disney changed ariel's race for the Little Mermaid live-action .

So i believe it really depends on the person . In my case i like to see adaptations being true to the original characters , unless the casting is specially good , like Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury ( that was basically cast by Mark Millar years before on Ultimates ) or Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin ( this Daredevil movie is my guilty pleasure , and i think MCD as Kingpin will be the best KP forever) .

Turns out the one in the Arkham games was an imposter. Which is as far as comic books go is a reasonable explanation.

mate you expect steam-users who frequent the forums to read an article or any written text in that regard?
you are out of your mind.

jokes aside these forums - thanks to being so poorly moderated - are a honeypot for unhinged, delusional and ignorant people.
