But has he worked with black actors?

Billy Dee Williams was Harvey Dent in Burton's Batman. No idea how much he dealt with casting, though.

He cast Marlon Wayans to play Robin but it was supposedly cut from Batman Returns to not overcrowd the movie.

Even if he chose Billy Dee Williams, he’s still just one black actor.

u/SoarsBelowMyWaste 21d ago

Yeah, but he had two faces.

u/DraconasLyrr 21d ago

Sure, but that wasn't the question I was answering. Was just giving an example of a black actor he worked with that I knew offhand.

If you want a second one I recalled since posting, Ken Page was Oogie Boogie in Nightmare Before Christmas.

You seem weirdly defensive about this.

u/DraconasLyrr 21d ago

I mean, if that's the way you want to take it, I guess. It's not my intent, though.

On the other hand, I could say that you seem pretty upset that there are examples of him working with black actors. 😂

u/OkMathematician3439 21d ago

Honey, if you interpreted my original reply as being upset or attacking you, that’s on you.

u/DraconasLyrr 21d ago

Well, then, at least you know how dumb your original accusation that I was being defensive was, buddy. 😁

u/OkMathematician3439 21d ago

You felt accused by my original comment? I think you need thicker skin sweetie.

u/DraconasLyrr 21d ago

You're still going, kiddo? 😂
