>A potential casting shortlist for the DCEU’s Batgirl has emerged online, possibly revealing the direction Warner Bros. and Joss Whedon are taking with the character in her first solo live-action film.
>Elle Fanning (Neon Demon/Live By Night) >Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel) >Bella Thorne (Shake It Up!) >Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why) >Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers) >Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe) >Emma Roberts (Scream Queens) >Haley Lu Richardson (Split/Edge Of Seventeen) >Naomi Scott (Power Rangers)
Levi Myers
Jane Levy is an actress with a lot of charisma. She'd look great with her hair dudes red too. She'd be a great choice.
Noah Russell
Why do Marvel and DC hate redheads so much?
William Jackson
Haley Lu might not be bad
Jonathan Jenkins
>Bella Thorne (Shake It Up!) The >sheposting alone would make this worth it
Bentley Miller
Could be worse, they could be replacing a redhead with a black actor like they usually do.
David King
She is also fucking old now
Hunter Robinson
Because white women never dye their hair for roles.
Ethan Hall
Then put a wig on them like they did with Mera. The fact that there's straight up black haired women in this casting list shows they don't give a fuck about that and won't make her a readhead.
Easton Martin
>Bella Thorne (Shake It Up!)
Do it DC. I need to see the reaction to this casting choice.
James Miller
It's funny how with so many characters they're careful about fidelty of appearance and identity, but when it comes to redheads they figure they can just throw all that out the window and cast anyone at all. Dyed hair is fine, but why do they treat redheads as a chance to cast black actors? If a black role was filled by a redhead, there'd be protests and petitions.
Logan Jones
Seriously? How young do you expect Batgirl to be?
Zachary Scott
She's only 27. And Ben Affleck is almost 50, so they're obviously going to with an older Batgirl/Nightwing anyway.
Dominic Murphy
Be thankful that they're at least all white. I was bracing myself for them to change her race.
Michael Brooks
>Margaret Qualley Is my choice. She was really fucking good in the Leftovers.
Nathaniel Brooks
Mera doesn't have a wig. Amber actually dyed her hair.
Jack Cooper
Why do so many of them look like Kristen Stewart?
Jack Barnes
>has-beens and no names par for the course DC
Justin Roberts
I feel like no-names are the way to go when casting established characters, for the most part.
I don't wanna be watching something and only be able to see some character they're well-known for having played before instead of the comic character.
Elijah Collins
Fanning is a GREAT choice. Emma Roberts and Jane Levy too.
I'll see it anyway, but those would make me very happy.
Adrian Turner
Fanning
MUH DICK
I wonder who Whedon would pair her up with. Duke probably, the bloody cuck
Landon Richardson
>All those blondes Please let this be a sign that we are getting steph, I know we will probably never get a cass movie but anything but babs please
Nathan Myers
>Then put a wig on them like they did with Mera. that's Batwoman's thing.
Ian Barnes
Oh I can't wait until he gets eaten alive on Twitter for every little thing he does with this project.
>not casting a trans-Muslim quadriplegic midget to play Batgirl >literally a Holocaust
Gavin Ross
>Haley Lu Richardson (Split/Edge Of Seventeen) >not Anya Taylor-Joy
You had ONE JOB! but seriously nice cast hope they can get margot robbie to do a cameo.
Nathaniel Garcia
E L L E L L E
Andrew Hill
Babs has been Batgirl longer in just the New 52 era than Steph ever was Batgirl.
Jace Myers
>hope they can get margot robbie to do a cameo but why?
Eli Myers
Because she is popular and a bat villain.
Jayden Murphy
Surprised Whedon isn't going for Cass instead of Babs or planning to have her as a sidekick.
Zachary Cox
>Implying mass media will ever have a Batgirl other then Barbera.
Blake Perry
Jane Levy is actually a good actress and charismatic enough for the role. I like Elle Fanning a lot too.
Josiah Lopez
Please choose Emma Roberts
Samuel Cooper
she's the worst of the choices so they will
Oliver Walker
>She is also fucking old now She is meant to already recovered from the Killing Joke. This is an old Batgirl.
Blame DCEU for setting the time so far ahead. EVERYONE is old.
Jonathan Sanchez
Kinda false because there are plenty of characters that dont look like their comic orgins outside a few details.
Wyatt Hill
>no best emma on the shortlist
what the fuck is this shit?
Jack Torres
Great
Nicholas Turner
her
Adam Torres
Amber Heard isn't a redhead, but she dyed her hair for Mera.
Hunter Wilson
>Batgirl has started looking at casting Does this mean what we should be getting Nightwing casting soon?
Jason Allen
She's probably way more expensive than DC wants to spend money on.
Gabriel Baker
>Joker, welcome to your tape
Ryder Cooper
>>Batgirl >>not Oracle
Cooper Barnes
>Babs >not Cass
Lucas Ramirez
Considering Bruce never talked to Oracle in BvS and instead went through Alfred its safe to say either babs is fully retired or what is more likely is that shes sadly still batgirl
Brody Reyes
Please god not Roberts
Ayden Lee
those are all terrible photos
Nicholas Gutierrez
Fuck Barbara, DC needs to get on that Diversity train and give us Cass.
Zachary Johnson
Diversity means black
Jacob Parker
While true this is still a chance for DC to subvert expectations and use a character who isn't awful.
Jonathan Price
Triggered by strong women, user?
Jace Sullivan
Amber isn't wearing a wig for Mera She dyed her hair
Nolan Ortiz
Who's that ayylmao in top-mid
Ayden Powell
Give us Katherine Langford for those hips and lips and dat ass
Robert Collins
literally the best casting choice for babs period
Angel Reed
...or maybe they're not on speaking terms because BvS Batman is an asshole even for Batman
Of course, I know that is fan wank. I know Warners is a buncha idiots and want to bring back a modern 60s Batgirl because they only think in superficial nostalgia and brand names.
David Hughes
WHERE'S KILLER MOTH?
Ryan Flores
I wonder how they're going to pull this shit off. They established that Jason's dead and Batgirl/Nightwing exist, but they won't show up in JL when Bruce is clearly looking for all the help he can get?
How are things on the Green Arrow/Black Canary rumors? Is Canary still going to be a meta in the past because that's fucking stupid
Aaron Ramirez
Jane Levi is way too small.
Eli Sanchez
None of that matters. They will have a trans character. Complaining about anything in the movie is now transphobic.
Chase Hill
> If the ever do a UtRH movie, it'll be pure garbage.
C-Can we just ask them to release the animated film to theaters with redubs or something?
Jackson Mitchell
Kek
Bentley Morris
I thought they already cast her in BvS, or atleast a Barbra Gordon
Oliver Ross
She was Cat Grant in deleted scenes.
Levi Hernandez
They basically screwed themselves out of UtRH the moment they had Batman start dropping criminals left and right.
Easton Garcia
Whedon doesn't get to make decisions like that. He's just the director. Producers and DC higher-ups decide which characters have to be used.
I don't even know if Whedon likes Cass, Whedon is a huge shitty man-vagina so I assume his taste must be terrible.
Aaron Mitchell
Not really, especially given Dawn of Justice's end. If anything it lends itself more to Jason's hate for Bruce and makes Bruce an even bigger hypocrite because he DID break his one rule but still never killed the Joker, and now he's given up killing again as if that changes anything.
Ethan Sanchez
we can assume they're already helping on other missions elsewhere
Cameron Ward
They are just going to do the dumb Dick is a retired hero working as a cop in Bludhaven thing probably.
Henry Phillips
The fact that Bruce killed more people than probably Jason will have destroys the Red Hood story. Bruce was killing just petty criminals and probably would have killed the Joker too if he could. The whole idea of Bruce caring that Jason would want to kill the Joker and would try to stop him doesn't work in this universe. Seriously, why would this Bruce care that Jason wants to kill the Joker?
Lucas Clark
Wait, how many people did he kill in Dawn of Justice? I took it that he only started killing during that.
Nathan Wright
She didn't die her hair, she's wearing a wig.
Parker Garcia
He directly killed like maybe 5 people, that guy is just a memeing faggot.
Jacob Wood
I really don't see Bella or Elle being Batgirl.
Nathaniel Rivera
Jane Levy , she is a great actress
Camden Long
> yfw when Killer Moth isn't the big villain of the Batgirl movie. > yfw when Whedon does some shitty OC or James Gordon Jr.
Hunter Williams
> Whedon doesn't like Cass.
user he practically wrote her character type in Firefly (River). Hell he wrote Babs in Angel (Fred) and Stephanie's in Buffy (Buffy).
....
Everything has led to this moment hasn't it?
John Phillips
Natural redheads/gingers are one of the smallest minorities on Earth (and one of the few that are socially acceptable to discriminate against), so finding enough of them that are actually good actors is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Austin Hall
>You will never get a live action movie where an extremely sexy-voiced Killer Moth fights Batgirl and afterwards she finds herself fantasizing about him.
Tyler Jones
Barbara is actually half-Hispanic >that's a lie but Sup Forums doesn't read comics
Jeremiah Gonzalez
>Killer moth shows up but Hack Whedon just replays the same tired old joke of LOL KILLER MOTH IS USELESS >Whedon fully cements Killer Moth as a joke villain to the masses
