I am 100% against Idris Elba as Bruce Wayne, because that would mean that I could possibly find Bruce Wayne a sympathetic and compelling character, and that's just a line I'm not willing to cross.
I kind of agree with latenightcuppa in that, if Idris Elba was Bruce Wayne, they'd have to completely flip the mythos on its head, and in doing so, might create a Batman that I could potentially care about. That being said...
... I could possibly find Bruce Wayne a sympathetic and compelling character, and that's just a line I'm not willing to cross.
To be honest, I kind of would love if they gender-swapped or race-swapped the Batman story and just played it straight – one of the reasons I loved Colombiana is that the heroine’s revenge quest (and associated body count) is unquestioned by the narrative.
Hmmm.
I don’t have any deep thoughts, beyond not wanting to automatically limit power fantasies given to people who are not white males.
But basically, I just don’t want to like Bruce Wayne.

(Alice is his Catwoman. Except more prone to killing people. ...she's some kind of terrible Catwoman/Joker hybrid.)
