I saw The Zeta Project...I don't remember them explaining it, although it has been a whileYou must be registered and logged in to post a message.- I'd say that question is answered in the Zeta Project. Plus, you never know, he does shape-shift.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
- Built itself a new head I guess to look more 'human' than robot. I like the 2nd version better though.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.

I can't remember it being answered in The Zeta Project (although I haven't seen it in years)
But I do remember that Zeta doesn't truly shapeshift. It projects a hologram over itself to look like whoever/whatever it is pretending to beYou must be registered and logged in to post a message.- His 'shoulders' do shift up or down sometimes to match the height or width of the person he imitates [then again that was in his first appearance in Batman Beyond]. But you are right about the hologram projection thing.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
- If it helps, the original, less advanced Zeta robots appear in JL and JLU. My jaw dropped when they appeared during the kick-ass "Secret Society part 2" fight scene.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
Just an unexplained revamp for the sake of the series. Hard to sympathize with the main character if he doesnt have human features...like a face lol
btw, awsome episode. Zeta kicked his butt.

Well, Billy Williams (I think that's his name) didn't played Two-Face, Tommy lee Jones did, the twoface character is more important,so it doesn't really matter who played him. And from Batman 89 to Batman & Robin (4 movies) 3 BATMANS! so It woudn't be a problem to have 2 Harveys.
And remember this is the same show we're talking about! What if in BTAS, Batman appears in 1 episode from nothing with the JL suit?

The actor's name is Billy Dee Williams. My point is that, regardless of whether or not he had become Two-Face or not, Harvey Dent is caucasian, not African American. Of the three Batmans you mentioned, were any of them Asian or Latino? No. Why? Because Batman isn't Asian or Latino...and Harvey Dent is not African American. Can you imagine the uproar if they had cast Sienna Miller to play Storm in the first X-Men movie?You must be registered and logged in to post a message.Hoeech wrote:

There wasnt really an uproar when Kingpin was played by an african american in Daredevil.
Skin color doesnt matter i think. If Twoface was played by an African American in Forever, i wouldnt have a problem with that. Anyway, theres practically no reason that connects the first 2 films to the third and fourth. Actors and directorschanged, and little references to the other two were made.

Given the social realities of modern America, no one in their right mind would dare make a complaint about a caucassian character being played by an African American. Do you really think the reverse would hold true? For Example, if Spike Lee had cast Dustin Hoffman (a brilliant and Oscar winning actor) to play Malcolm X, what do you think the public reaction would be?Granted, the example I just gave is an extreme one since we started this ping-pong match talking about comic books on the big screen, but it hammers my point home in very unsubtle ways. It reflects the reverse double-standard that exists in television and films to compensate for the intense racist attitudes of the past.
