I totally never thought about Bane being miscast. But then I also don't really see him as being the same guy from the comics except in the broadest outlines. His lack of a proper name probably aids with this perception. Anyone can be called Bane. Whereas once you call someone Khan, it gets harder to put on blinders.
Not that I should put them on, mind you.
I am also skipping NuTrek 2, but the racefail is just the icing on my "JJ has ruined Star Trek" cake. Most of which is made of "that is not Kirk" flour and "Trek is not supposed to be an action film" eggs.
Have you seen any indication that anyone in the MSM has picked up on the racefail as a problem? It seems like the "don't tell anyone it's Khan" strategy has had the effect of making sure no critics can call Abrams and Paramount to the table for the casting.
