Barbara Gordon Casting Thread

[atomicbattery]

I know that Stewart is divisive, but I think that she’d be wonderful

 

[Invader Joker]

He didn't do that. And WB is never going to reunite Stewart and Pattinson in a Batman franchise movie.

 

[FatRobin]

I think Matt Reeves just liked a tweet by someone named angel michelle that has Kristen Stewart as Batgirl

Yikes

 

[Invader Joker]

Seriously, fact check everything you read on the internet, even on Hype. Matt Reeves didn't like any Kirsten Stewart related tweet.

You’re right- wasn’t him

I could see Stewart as Kate Cain, but not as Barbara. There's no way WB reunites her and Pattinson, though. Given Wright is already cast, and Fox_men is dead, I think my top choice is Alexandra Shipp.

 

[Arachnerd]

I just know that whoever gets chosen, fan4stic is gonna complain about it.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I could see her more successfully pulling that off than she ever did storm.

 

[Kane52630]

Kyliegh Curran from Doctor Sleep might have a chance if they're going with a younger version.

Fan4stic and jmc need to team up for a podcast, the rating would be through the roof, just what the outrage twittersphere needs right now

 

[BobJM]

I could see Yara Shahidi as Barbara, and grow with the character through her various iterations/comic history.

Alternatively, Amandla Stenberg is a good actress as well.

Not if I think their look fits the character. Is it wrong to have preferences for the characters?

Google says she's 28.

Huh, wow, she looks absurdly young for 28, I'd never have guessed, always assumed she was the same age as Breslin, Steinfeld, Hildebrand, that whole set of actors she's usually paired with. She definitely still LOOKS the right age for Barbara, but who knows who it would work out long-term. It'll be interesting to see what they want to do with the character.

 

[Kane52630]

Kyliegh Curran from Doctor Sleep might have a chance if they're going with a younger version.

Now that I've seen it...she's definitely my top choice.

 

[old city outlaw]

I'm still hoping for Lost in Space's Mina Sundwall.

 

[TheGuy]

Zoe Colletti

 

[The Vafrous]

What about the actress who played Abra in Doctor Sleep?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Amandla Stenberg
Rachel Naomi Hilson
Alexandra Shipp
Kiki Layne

 

[Kane52630]

Waves blew my mind so Taylor Russell is my pick.

Upping because....

It is kinda odd considering Dever does follow Mattson and leave comments on his IG. He also started following her on Twitter right before Jeffery Wright. According to the Twitter comments, she said she's headed to London soon.

Mattson is involved in more projects than just The Batman. They're probably just friends. And a lot of productions are in London, so that one is just a coincidence.

Our Gordon is also black, so even though a white barb can be finagled I dont see them doing that.

They could go the adopted route like pre New 52

 

[COCOS]

Just a small observation... but for those who might be a bit unhappy with the idea of Barbara Gordon being African American... but are okay with the large changes made to the characterisation of The Joker in the Todd Phillips movie... they may want to reflect on those positions a little bit.

i dont get this logic, since when Joker's origin were clear & identified ? nobody know what his real story his, filmmakers can do whatever they want with it without being called out for it,. i dont get why Nolan Ledger might be the representation but todd phillips not .

This, and it's not even that difficult for me to mentally massage Phoenix and Ledger's Jokers into eventually being the same person.
