Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle being POC in Gotham High!: a Does Racebending Count Feature

Oh snap! This is literally my SECOND post in my Does Racebending Count? discussion feature and I knew I was waiting for the perfect topic! This post here today is dedicated and honored by the release of DC Ink’s Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz and illustrated by Thomas Pitilli! Do you know how much I was so into this graphic novel even before I opened the book?! Okay, not gonna lie… I could see some color on that cover, and I didn’t mean the artwork okay?

But it makes me think about something… was I only into this graphic novel rendition because there was finally some POC in the mix that weren’t just in the background?

Let’s discuss.

Hello everyone 🥰 I hope that you are doing okay on this Friday – or Saturday for my future fam – and staying healthy. It’s another week down, and it feels like we have been living inside for a long time. I’ve been slowly getting used to it, although I’m still having bad headaches and stuff every once in a while. Like right now I feel a headache coming on, and I’m needing to take some meds that will hopefully make it go away.
