And, more importantly, you should go read this essay at 4th Letter about the whole deal. It's a pretty good essay about race and responsibility and funnybooks:
-I don’t think DC is a racist company. I think they’re a bit clueless, but they have made great strides in terms of being better about race, for whatever “better about race” may mean to you personally. They’re trying.-I do think that this decision is racist, or, at best, sympathetic to racists. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this story as described, and no reason to be suspicious of a fictional character.
-This is cowardice, pure and simple...If your comics are supposed to be this utopian garbage about the power of a single man fighting against evil, what type of message do you think this sends?
-You don’t bow down to scum, and you don’t bow down to tyrants. You shouldn’t be bowing at all.
