I'm kinda glad it didn't find an audience. It irks me to no end when moviemakers decide to just slap the name of established characters into some random actors that don't resemble the source material not even a little bit. Like, the only thing that asian chick has in commom with Cassandra Cain is that they are both asian. That's it.
And although the race-bending thing has worked in some cases (Nick Fury, Aquaman, KingPin) I still find it to be highly distastesful when not done correctly. Like, if you want to have a white actor on screen, then take a white character from the comics; if you want to have an asian actor on screen, then take an asian character from the comics, and if you want to have a black actor on screen, then take a black character from the efffing comics! How hard is that? There is already a bunch of diversity in the comics to chose from!
And then they didnt even try to resemble their iconic customes!
