BvS Jena Malone is in Batman v. Superman... Which role is she playing?

[KRYPTON INC.]

Was that really from the show or was it the comics based on the animated series that went in that direction?

Hopefully, it's not this relationship from the DCAU:

Ah... I see. I don't remember much of that version of the show.

 

[Gee]

Definitely from the animated series. Their relationship was also implied in Batman Beyond.

Though, in the Batman Beyond 2.0 comic, it's revealed Babs did carry Bruce's child.

Yep. Jill Pantozzi from TheMarySue is a long-time Batgirl/Babs fan (she's also wheelchair-bound and a redhead) and was disheartened when DC announced Barbara would be able to walk and be Batgirl again when DC announced the New 52.

Wish I saw more articles and defenders like this a few months ago.

Jena Malone who’s been rumored to have a role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice for over a year, was put on the spotted earlier this evening at Tampa Bay Comic Con, during her panel that we were lucky enough to attend and be able cover her reaction to the rumors.
The panel opened with the moderator begging Jena to confirm the rumors of her being apart of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and if she’s allowed to say anything about it, in which Malone responded jokingly:
“This is the point where I try to whistle [laughs], but I can’t whistle, so I’ll say nothing.” this was a joke from before when the moderator whistled the mockingjay theme from The Hunger Games.
In which the moderator stated that he understands if she says “No”, and that they aren’t trying to put her on the spot, but obviously there are rumors circulating.
Malone quickly recovers with: “I like Zack, I’ll do anything for him. We’ll work again in the future, but there’s nothing to say about this. I mean this is like the 4th rumor. I mean, I was playing like 12 different characters or something in the past year and a half, so I’m surprised they don’t have me playing someone else.”
The moderator than states: “If any rumors that we have heard possibly come true, what better person in the entire world they could have chosen for something that doesn’t exist. But in itself, isn’t here representing anything that we’re talking about at this point?”
In which Malone response with: “At least you guys are excited about it, I mean they’re going to be excited about it anyways.”
The moderator quickly interrupts excitedly with: “Oh so there is something to be excited about?”
Which Malone exclaimed with a “No!”, by this point the moderator stopped pushing the topic of the rumor and moved on to the fan Q&A that was going to take place, which soon into that, led to someone in a Superman One-Piece Pajama, to asks Malone how it was like working on the set of Batman v Superman.
Malone quickly interrupts gesturing to the moderator to show the audience a toy box which he had out before, when he was asking her questions about the rumors, which Malone now wanted it to represent that every time someone asks a Batman v Superman question, the toy box would be put out, they’ll push it and it’ll go– “Ding, ding…next question!”
The moderator then certificated more to what Malone said, by saying: “If you didn’t know, we’re going to try and avoid anymore BVS questions, because we have no idea of what’s happening.” which Malone in agreement says: “Nor do I, I’m like an idiot up here.”
After that no one asked anymore Batman v Superman related questions, closest thing was when she was asked what was her favorite villain from DC or Marvel, which she went on to explain that she wasn’t well-versed on comic books, that she could only refer to their movies and she felt that wasn’t fair, so she went on to talk about Fraggle Rock and how David Bowie from Labyrinth was her favorite villain.
Overall, the panel was very enjoyable and by far one of the most personable panels I’ve ever attended of all the years of attending conventions.
As Jena interacted with her fans, willingly gave out an autograph after a fan stated she couldn’t get one before at her signing, going as far as finding a piece of paper to use to sign the autograph on, and came down from the stage, to hug another fan who became very emotional when asking a question that her friend Mary Lee, who’s ill with cancer, wanted her to ask.
Malone was even gracious enough to ask everyone in the audience to take a moment to send some beautiful love to Mary Lee, which was very moving.

Bruce Timm knew how to get away with anything. I neither hated nor loved Bruce/Barbaras relationship, what briefness we saw of it.

 

[Mandon Knight]

All for Malone as Barbara in any form (Batgirl or Oracle), which leads me to thinking Dick is not dead in this universe, the Robin costume is Jason's and Dick is Nightwing, alive and well and will be cast for the stand alone Batman film.

 

[Majik1387]

Well, there was that gravestone with Grayson's name on it. So he's either dead or he faked it. I do agree that I think the Robin costume belonged to Jason Todd.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Hopefully, it's not this relationship from the DCAU:

**** me. I've been trying to forget this...

 

[Batgort]

The Bruce/Barbara was only a hinted thing for like one episode, nothing like Dick and Barbara in Batman Sub Zero.

It read Richard John Grayson, right? Could be his father.

Richard John Grayson is Dick Grayson's full name. His father's name was John.

If she is Babs the state of their relationship will be telling about the Bat solo.

 

[TripleJ]

Richard John Grayson is Dick Grayson's full name. His father's name was John.

Yes; but they could always change it, can't they?

 

[rockandrollsoul]

Yes; but they could always change it, can't they?

But why would they change his father's name? To fake out fanboys? And why would he be buried in the Wayne cemetery?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Please. We all know Dick's real name is Robin John Dick.

 

[cleverusername8]

She's about the age that Barbara would be in relation to Ben Affleck's Bruce. A little too old for Carrie as well.

 

[jokesonm3]

don't know if this has been discussed beforehand but does anyone else see a resemblance of Jena Malone to the batman arkham knight version of batgirl?looks incredible similar to me personally

 

[KillerWolf]

Yes; but they could always change it, can't they?

Why do that? Being a comic book fan, I don't think Snyder is going to pull Robin John Blake anytime soon.

No. Not really.

The Batgirl design for the 'Matter of Family' dlc is just perfect.
Barbara looks beautiful, hard, fierce.
When I first saw the above image in the in-game character bios, I was struck that- to me- she strongly resembled Kristen Stewart.

 

[Rowsdower!]

It's it just me or does Barbara's AK suit there seem to be deliberately designed to draw the viewer's attention straight to her chest?
