Might be like poor Connor Hawke, whose ethnicity apparently varies by moonlight. (The one thing *I* didn't like from Identity Crisis was that Connor was suddenly white with a bad hair cut)
Yeah, no colorists and few pencillers remember that he's supposed to be biracial. Cassandra Cain usually looks white or hispanic instead of asian, too. It's the "if you don't know, make them white" syndrome.
...Really? Wow. It's not even like Connor, where I can kind of understand the colorist being confused by the blond hair, son-of-a-white-man thing. Did she have a big role in the book?

You'd think it'd be more logical to jsut color somebody hispanic if you're not sure -- that way, you can blame it on lighting or a tan.
ReplyDeleteHoly Coloring Errors! Evidently no one could decide that day?
ReplyDeleteRelated, perhaps, to the same metatextual disease that changed Tempest's son into a daughter....
