Well, depends what you mean with dead on. If you mean it was an excellent cast then yes. If you mean that all looked like they looked in the comics, then no. Rosario Dawson happened to be quite black.

Other than Rosario Dawson, the casting was dead on, it was as close to 100% accurate as one can get. Wonder why this was done?

Odd, you are very odd.

Probably so the fans can relate more, though a good actor can pull off a role that he/she doesn't look "dead on" about. As Duncan did for Kingpin.

If they are remaking Star Trek, and they are casting for Kirk, lets say they have it boiled down to two actors. One is white an looks the part, and can act well enough to get the job done. The other is black, looks nothing like Kirk, and can get the job done a bit better.

999 times out of 1000 the filmmakers will go with the white guy.

Hahaha, his argument is falling to bits.

I assume because the producers saw merit in a very close to accurate portrayal of the Comic Books. Possibly because Frank Miller was closer involved, too. And because the source material is very easy to turn into movie.

Now, Batman Begins, also being an excellent movie, did not go as close as possible to story at least. Because it doesn't matter how exact the transition is, it matters how good the movie is. You can obviously see that Batman Begins was influenced by Year One...there are similar traits in it, but, it is not a panel for panel copy...it's a standalone movie, with a standalone story. In fact, a stand alone universe.

I cant find a source that tells me what the black populace was in ancient Greece.

So by your rationale, RJ, Rosario Dawson should not have been cast, and should, in fact, be replaced.

Right?

Hehe, made me laugh.

Could though, happened today in the news.

Racist. If the baby was black, then the only reason it was black would be because it was black. Unless, there was another reason for it being black, but then it would be black, too.

Either way, you're definitely a racist.

Nope, but technically neither is Blade.

He's mixed race.

Aren't Vampires supposed to be really pale?

Not necessarily.

Born vampires that are white, perhaps, cos they'd never see the Sun. People can be turned, don't forget.

Well, I guess it depends on what Mythology we are talking about. I am not familiar with marvel kinda Vampires. But in many others even those that are turned (at least the white ones) get pale, over time anyways.

Caucasians (not the beverage) pale when they lack exposure to sunlight. Negroes stay dark, with or without sun.

Vamps avoid sunlight, so logically, the white ones would pale. Or it could be the whole being undead thing, as Caucasoids pale after death, while the Negroes don't; they do sometimes get a bit of a grayish sheen though.

Worrying.
