      Bruh. Since it is a title, it doesn’t matter who is holding it. Even comics Ra’s Al Ghul doesn’t mind that considering he wants Bruce Wayne to be his heir.

        Yes, again, you can come up with that convoluted after-the-fact explanation that wasn’t in the movie or you can not piss off Arab people.

            Good thing the character isn’t a terrorist then. The head of a cult of assassins is not a terrorist. Assassins target specific people for specific reasons, not to create terror.

                I thought we were talking about a character that’s the head of a league of assassins, not the actual plot of the movie. You know that the movie didn’t have to have that plot, right? You realize it’s not some sort of requirement to make that specific Batman story, yes?

                  …What even is your point? In almost every iteration Ra’s al Ghul is trying to destroy Gotham (or Star City in case of CW’s Arrow). He’s absolutely a terrorist.

                    Apart from the many, many, many Batman stories where he isn’t.

                    He even teams up with Batman sometimes.

                    Maybe the problem here is you don’t actually read the comics.

                Please show me that definition. Assassinations are generally not done to cause terror. They are done to achieve more specific political goals (i.e. get the guy in power out of power).

                    That is not the definition of terrorism… if you believe it is, please show me this definition.

                    Also, please quote what in specific I said that makes you think I am angry about this.

        For the same reason the excuse of a white character being named Mitsimu Hashimori is that it’s just a title being passed down is something people might find offensive.

          I think artists can make whatever they want (within the bounds of the law) and that it’s up to the consumers to decide whether they like it or not with their wallets.

            When did this become about what people can do and not about whether or not they’re being highly offensive?

            It is legal to make and distribute a movie where a guy just yells the N-word for 90 minutes. I assume you would find that offensive. Most people would.

              Right, so I wouldn’t watch it or give them money, and I’m sure you and most other people wouldn’t either. But if that person wants to make it, more power to them.

              It’s been about that the entire thread. The OP image is about casting choices.
