How would readers feel if Batman was Asian? Would artists feel like he was more relatable towards their audiences? I don't believe Batman would have the same affect towards readers like the way the original Batman does. Just by looking in the cover above you see how Batman isn't very masculine. He doesn't make readers want to be just like him. If Batman were to be Asian and was sold in America I would highly believe their sales would have dropped dramatically just because back in the 1940's it was white dominate. So we can see why it is justifiable for the comic book heroes to be white since most of their readers were white and this would make the comics more relatable.
