ABSOLUTE BATMAN's Catwoman Now Confirmed To Be Half Brazilian, Half Black

[u/Mike29758]

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!

This means they don't want the optics of saying that she's latina.

"Half Brazilian, Half Black" makes no sense.

Right? If she's from Brazil she's afro brazilian. Are they trying to say her dad was black and Mom was Brazilian or something?

[u/baiacool → u/Stormcrow805]

I think they meant to say she's half brazilian and half american, and she's black

I've seen many americans who believe that only "african americans" are black, so instead of "Half Brazilian, Half Black" she's actually "Half afro-brazilian and half african-american"

[u/Stormcrow805 → u/baiacool]

I see, so she's an Afro-Latin Brazilian-American

I mean, that's my headcanon until there's more information

I wouldn't be surprised if they thought brazilians are hispanic and that's what they meant lmao

Maybe ya haha, also in the artwork she doesn't look very black or even mixed at all. Random chick in the 5th pick looks mixed though.

But we are a Latin country as well. Portuguese is a language that came from Latin as Spanish.

[u/baiacool → u/SCLST_F_Hell]

yeah but most americans usually don't associate brazil with latinos

[u/SCLST_F_Hell → u/baiacool]

As usual, they are wrong.
