“He is a technopath, which means he can just interface seamlessly with anything technological. His greatest weakness is actually trying not to succumb to the technology… trying to stay human.” – Ray Fisher
“DCEU Cyborg is more than the comic relief that we saw in Teen Titans. In fact, there’s no comedy in his origin story.”
“In an interview with Geek Magazine, Fisher discussed how Cyborg is meant to represent people with disabilities, saying: ““I’ve had lots of fans who come out and say ‘Listen, I can relate to Cyborg because I lost a limb,’ or ‘I have this cochlear implant.’ It’s one of those things when you actually start seeing it, when you actually start hearing about it, that made Cyborg more relevant to me than I think he ever had been up until that point.”” Cyborg’s journey to self-acceptance was always a conscious decision by Zack Snyder.”
Was Ray Fisher cast as Cyborg for his voice alone because like?? he has the calmest, smoothest, most beautiful speaking voice ever?? Like I realize that’s a weird thing to focus on in a very nuanced performance about a man who is alienated from his own body, but a big part of Cyborg’s conflicts (as I understand it) is about his own foreignness – he doesn’t look like anybody, he can’t do what other people do for good or ill, and while his cybernetic body can do a lot of amazing things, it can’t be pushed to a higher limit the same way an organic body can.
But this is all in contrast to how comforting Vic’s voice is? Like if I’m in distress and all of a sudden this weird robot man drops out of the sky with a scary-looking red light coming out of his chest in the DCEU world of genociding aliens and clown criminals, I’m about to have a heart attack on top of the panic attack I’m already having. But then Ray Fisher’s voice tells me it’s going to be okay and do I know if anybody else needs rescuing nearby, suddenly I realize there’s a hero in all that and I’m going to get out of this fine.
