@Angel.Azrael I have to say that I agree. While I don’t see gender bending as something wrong in fan creations, such as art or fics, its a AU troupe. But the silver screen is different. I could see maybe doing a movie where Plastic Man gets a female character counterpart, and the movie sets her as the protagonist, such as what @mrmiracle prompted, but even I, as a female, wouldn’t see the point in making a male character into a female, and vise versa. Granted, I’m not saying that it can’t happen, but I think the execution of it would have to work. The key word in this title is in development, so perhaps someone has the idea for it, but the story itself has to be planned and written out? I honestly feel like I’m in the middle when it comes to opinion (even if my first comment may not show it that much). Obviously the initial news would be shocking (it was to me) but again, the story has to make it work. Me personally, I don’t see why a gender swap is needed, regardless of what the initial character’s gender is, but if it can work, such as a new female character to star alongside Plastic Man for example, I don’t see why not, but this is just my perspective. I hope I made sense here, I know this is a wall of text with a bit of repetition .
But I do have to say, when I think of female Plastic Man, I think of Rita Farr, but that’s just me.
