As a blerd, I am ashamed to say I only heard of Trill League a couple of months ago. This. Is. Dope. Trill League is a parody of DC's Justice League, except cooler and funnier. This dope comic, and hopefully soon-to-be [adult swim] cartoon, was created by self-taught Chicago-based illustrator, Anthony "Blk Ant" Piper.

There's been a couple photos on facebook of a Black actors and sctresses as some of the most beloved and infamous characters from the DC Universe. Some of the cast choices were good, but I felt I needed to weigh in on the topic. Below is my dream cast for an all black starring cast.
