 Blankman review (1994) Damon Wayans - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Blankman, as he is called because he couldn't come up with a name, becomes a sensation in the city, but Minelli is still on the prowl, and he is set on taking down the beloved Mayor (Lawford) once and for all.
However, despite Wayans' memorable role, the film only ever really works when Grier is on screen, as he brings a sense of normal contrast to the outlandish behavior of the rest of the zany cast, and his reactions to Darryl's adventures does manage to generate some of the more clever insights.
Sadly, once the quasi-love affair between Givens' (Head of State, A Rage in Harlem) news reporter character and Blankman emerges, his character goes into supporting mode, and the one funny angle (how relatives of superheroes cope with the grandiose schemes of their siblings) gets shelved for the duration.

A much more appealing character than Darryl, Kevin is shown at his job as a TV news cameraman, trying to strike up a relationship with an anchorwoman played by Robin Givens.

But Blankman is probably the first superhero to stumble into his calling out of naivete.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Blankman | Deseret Morning News Web edition
"Blankman" is Damon Wayans' attempt to create a big-screen African-American comic superhero, in a similar fashion to Robert Townsend's failed "The Meteor Man" last year.
In addition, there is a string of vulgar gags, some of them quite disgusting - including Grier's pickup lines.
An unfortunate misfire, "Blankman" is rated PG-13 for violence, profanity, vulgarity and some nude photos.

 J W R / Jewish World Review / Linda Chavez
A Maryland judge ordered Cornelius removed from the custody of Laura Blankman, the foster mother who is trying to adopt him, and turned him over to Latrena Pixley, the troubled young woman who gave birth to Cornelius while on probation for the murder of her 6-week-old daughter.
The toddler, who has been living in a safe and stable neighborhood in suburban Maryland with Blankman, will be sent to a halfway house in dangerous Northeast Washington, D.C., a crime-ridden, drug-infested area where his mother temporarily lives because she has no job or other means to support herself or Cornelius.
William Pierce, president of the National Council for Adoption, which is providing legal assistance to Blankman in her appeal of the custody order, notes bitterly that a woman of Pixley's character and history would likely be denied custody of a stray cat.
