The Fox and Halle Berry

June 25th, 2008 · Comments

No, it’s not a fairy tale or a Aesop’s Fable, its about Wanted’s Fox and Halle Berry.  Recently, I had a discussion with someone who talked about how much The Fox in the graphic novel Wanted looked like Halle Berry in Catwoman.  But I pointed out that Wanted was out before Catwoman.  But I concede that they look alike.  The original artist of Wanted, J.G. Jones, was obviously influenced by Jinx from Die Another Day (that’s just my opinion, but look at the photo evidence).  The creator and writer of Wanted, Mark Millar, would tell you that he based The Fox on Selena Kyle, the Catwoman in the Batman comics.  And if you stumble across any sketches by artists like Marc Silvestri, you’ll see some of that same influence of Jinx/Halle Berry.  Well, I am not going to belabor the point here, and I’m not going to rant about how black characters are replaced with white actors/actresses, and I am not going to rant about the lack of black females in the media, especially genre films.  But I am going to take this opportunity to post pictures just for pure comparison.  No matter which version you like, they are all hot.
