No, about her casting. As far as Twitter goes, it seems like there's a vocal base who were very vocally against her before the casting and they've been stoking the fires hard on this one since the news broke. You'd think they cast her as Batman at this rate.

The very first reactions I saw were all “SJWs have ruined everything” and had nothing to do with her acting. Given Batwoman is a lesbian character and it’s a BIG part of her character, I’m guessing any woman playing her would have faced the same reaction. I haven’t seen her in anything but she certainly looks perfect for the role based on the comics I read (which were pretty great).
Besides, if it had been about her acting, the same people would have hounded Cavill off Twitter when he was cast for Man of Steel. But they wouldn’t. Because he’s a white guy.Comment

I mean, she's been pretty well rubbished for her acting for a long time now. She first came up for me when she was in a season of Orange is the New Black, then again with the last Resi Evil film and most recently with John Wick 2 but for each of those any criticism I've ever seen of her as always been down to her acting over anything else, her casting in Batwoman is the first real time I've read so much vitriol about her outside of that criticism.
The thing is, her being self described gender fluid playing a gay superhero is by the by. It's as though straight actors have never played gay ones before or vice versa. Finding out more since this kicked off about her outside acting, you'd think they'd be behind it.Comment

Meanwhile this report exploded everywhere saying that because talks of Henry Cavill appearing in a cameo in Shazam broke down he was now no longer going to portray Superman in the DCU movies. Deadline apparently reported that years from now Michael B Jordan is being viewed to be cast as Superman. Frankly, the whole thing sounded suspect from the outset and true enough, yet much less widely reported as the world has long held a fixation in seeing the DCU actors fall from its umbrella, is that Cavill's agent denied the reportComment

The extended new trailer for Aquaman. Now, on one hand it's over five minutes long so you're seeing far more than you likely want to but on the other hand it at least gives the impression that with this film the DCU is finally taking its first firm step beyond Snyderverse tone.
