What if Will Smith was cast as Batman instead of Christian Bale? Would America accept a black man as Batman?

Are you insinuating Will Smith is secretly a white man in a black suit?

That's sweet that Hopkins is going to be in The Wolfman. The Burning Plain should be good to, I love Theron, and Basinger.

If Will Smith was indeed a white man in a black suit, and he was cast as batman, this would make him a white man in a black suit in a black suit. lol

There was a rumour a while back that Will Smith was being considered for the role of Captain America, though odds are people were getting confused about early reports of 'Hancock'.

As for Batman, he'd certainly be good as the guy in the suit, but I don't think he could tone down his own loud'n'shiny presence enough to play Bruce Wayne.
