Zoe Kravitz told she was TOO BLACK for role in The Dark Knight Rises

[Uno]

A number huh...like two
The only black people I can think of was Morgan Freeman and Debo.
Now that I think of it I don't think there have never been any black actresses in any superhero movies expect for Halle and Zoe's (and they're bi-racial, but I'm sure they were counted as black ) limited parts in the X-Men movies.
This is why I'm glad I don't support these movies at the box office. At least they throw black actors a bone here and there, black actresses don't even exist in the mind of Hollywood, unless they are looking for someone to play Mammy.

That black guy that offers money to kill the Joker.

That's one problem but even in the movies they won't give a black actress even a 10 minute speaking part. Black women don't seem to even exits in the minds of studio execs, casting directors, producers, writers, etc.

Zoe looks way to immature to play Catwoman.
Halle ruined Catwoman as as potential opportunity for every black actress.
White actresses are allowed to fail and it won't fukk up the prospects of another white actress but since Halle flopped as Catwoman (never mind that the script and direction was awful) the most we can hope is that someone is open minded enough to give another black actress a chance.
