Lorraine Toussaint needs to be Amanda Waller in the DCU!!

[JokerLedger]

Her performance in Orange Is The New Black says it all. She IS Amanda Waller

Needs more CCH Pounder.

I can see it.

I was terrified there'd be a picture of a skinny busty woman, like the one New 52 turned her into.

But... nicely done, that's not the case at all. Granted, the original Waller was a BIG woman, but this gal (and I saw this episode) has that same menacing business face.

 

[Dr. Evil]

My pick is Viola Davis....all the way.

If they want to go with a bigger woman, my choice then is Octavia Spencer.

She could work. I don't see why Waller has been such a difficut role for DC live action to cast, she doesn't need to be as big as her classic self, but she at least needs to be intimidating and none of the castings so far have even been able to get that part right.

That's due to DC, 3 years ago, turning Waller into a conventional comic book 'babe' when they relaunched SUICIDE SQUAD. As long as that version exists in the comics any future castings will remain bland.
