But I was pissed off about Samuel L Jackson being Nick Fury. I think it's racist to change the race of a character, at least if the character is well-established, important and popular.

No, its racist to say that every comic book character should only be played by actors of the same race. Skin color doesn't matter, talent does. I think Denzel Washington would be an outstanding Two-Face, but people like you would never get past that he's not the same color as the character from the comics.

And why are they not using the classic character that was important for so long instead of some recent invention?

They did.

And he was terrible. The Ultimate version of Nick Fury is not only black, but is modeled after Jackson. They couldn't have chosen a better candidate.

Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent in Batman 1989, but then someone had the poor taste to cast a hammed up version played by Tommy Lee Jones. One thing i thought Burton did right. Having a wayans brother as robin would have been horrible though, and that was one of his less brilliant ideas. Totally would have fit those shusucker films though.

I don't think that is Sam Jackson being Nick Fury though, sam jackson plays sam jackson and was absolutely horrible in jackie brown, the star wars prequels, snakes on a plane, both xxx movies and jumper. Only good performance in Pulp Fiction. Also awful in shaft. Whats supposed to set his military character as fury apart from the character he played in xxx?
