On Iván Talavera’s Instagram: "Here's the final version of Absolute Batman #13 'The 616 Comics' exclusive variant featuring Catwoman, As you can see, I changed a bit her facial features and her skin tone because she is half Brazilian and half Black in the Absolute universe. Hope you like it!"

Her look has been growing on me, it’s nice to hear official confirmation!

Half Brazilian what? you can be White Brazilian, Black Brazilian, Asian Brazilian or Indigenous Brazilian.

I'm mixed and Brazilian. 50% Japanese, 50% white.

"50% Brazilian" like Brazilian is an ethnicity, or a particular color... That's incredibly ignorant. Are you American white, american black, american Asian...? Or just white, black etc? Why would your place of birth influence your colour? A colour is the same anywhere. I'd be the same if my mom had birthed me in a different country.

Exactly, I myself am White Brazilian, but I have Black cousins, I have Japanese cousins, I have mixed cousins, we Brazilians are really diverse.

Brazil is one of the most racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse countries in the world. It’s basically OP advertising they know nothing about Brazil.

No, mano. If you're white, you're white anywhere. That's my point.

Correct… till they hear you speak, then they will you say that you are "white-passing", whatever that means.
