[John-An]

From The Hollywood Reporter

Jena Malone is in the batman v superman: Dawn of justice cast, multiple sources confirm to the hollywood reporter.
However, whether or not she is playing a female version of batman’s erstwhile sidekick robin, remains close to the bat-chest.

Which role do you think she's playing?

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Please don't let it be Robin.

 

[Harley2004]

The blonde hair would not go red for Harley Quinn. She is older but she looks a lot like Carrie Kelly.

 

[Boy Scout]

Please don't let it be Robin.

Please, please, please.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I'm going with Barbara Gordon but I fear it's Carrie Kelly.

 

[kendalag]

Maybe she was Robin a few years earlier and she simply appears in the film to talk to Bruce. I wouldn't go by the ages characters were in comics, because it will never make sense.

I feel that even if she's Carrie Kelly, Nightwing is going to exist, maybe even be in the film, so it's not like the 'Bat family' aspects will likely be forgotten. At least I hope.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Ugh, gosh, I usually don't like playing the "Flashback" card, but hopefully she's just a flashback as Bruce Wayne looks back at all the Robin's he's operated with....

 

[Wise]

Lucy Lane

 

[ABadJoke]

I actually think she'd be a great Carrie Kelly -shrug-

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

Barbara Gordon? aka Oracle

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Babs, please

Keep it cannon

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Even if she were Carrie it could amount to an in name only deal Easter Egg. A confident of Bruce's named Carrie, that is never in costume.

 

[Jekecy]

Hm. And there goes one more mark on the "this is looking to be a TDKR adaptation" column.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

People dont like Carrie?

 

[Smallville13]

I can definitely see it happening in a studio-think let's remove the Batman-Robin gay connotations move.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

People dont like Carrie?

Nah. People don't like Carrie in BvS...

 

[Superherofan123]

I'm hoping Oracle. I really don't want to see Carrie Kelly in this.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Nah. People don't like Carrie in BvS...

People don't like Carrie in BvS, the movie that is said to be based on TDKR. If there's ever going to be a movie where Carrie would be utilized well, it would be this one

 

[ABadJoke]

I don't understand the problem with having TDKR characters in BvS... I mean the biggest problem with those books is that Superman is not really Superman. We know we won't be getting Miller's Supes so what's the big deal with taking some other inspiration from TDKR?

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

inspired by. If she's Carrie in this, it starts to sound like a live-action TDKR which I'm not interested in seeing. She was needed for that story, but isn't necessary in this one.

 

[Wise]

I don't dislike her. I just don't want Snyder to take characters and actual plot elements from TDKR.

I'm fine with using it as inspiration, but I don't want it to be adapted as the basis for launching the DCCU shared universe.

That's like launching the Marvel Universe with Old Man Logan.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

TDKR is an elseworlds story

They'd be missing out on a great chance to introduce the bat family to the audience by doing this

Wise nailed it

So you don't like having Nightwing in the movie? Along with a memorial to a dead Robin? I'm honestly asking, not being smart.

Jason Todd dying has become canon in the comics.

I've been one of the loudest supporters of having Grayson as Nightwing and a dead jason.

Ok, yeah. I just find it weird that you said they're "missing out" on introducing the Bat-family when it seems like Batfleck will have quite a bit of history and connections.
