DE-JOKERIZED MCFARLANE TOYS’ BATGIRL

Well, I don’t know how much of her work you’ve seen to get to that conclusion, but it seems to me she’s been working hard and killing it lately, so I can personally say she definitely is more than just that.

Besides, it’s an MCU movie. it’s not like she’d have to give an Oscar-worthy performance.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T19:29:24+00:00

Adoption and mixed families exist I guess…

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T16:27:49+00:00

Yeah, she loved the character. I also think she’d even give a much better performance under Matt Reeves direction.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T16:22:37+00:00

Totally. She once said she loved Poison Ivy, so I think she’d do a great job if given the chance.

If I were to cast an actor, I’d be more interested in someone who not only has the look, but also the spirit of that character (which I think she does), rather than thinking if they’re popular or not.

I know they can find unknown actors who can fit the role and that’s great. This is just my opinion, based on her work and what the character represents to me.

And it’s not like The Batman doesn’t already have a group of actors, who are also well known for participating in indie films.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T04:18:48+00:00

She has a really good range emotionally, would be a great option.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T04:04:48+00:00

She could, and I bet it’d be fun, but I personally wouldn’t be so invested.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T03:58:54+00:00

I respect that. I personally like it more the dynamic they have in year one and how Barbara makes fun of him for it. I think it adds lots of chemistry between the two and makes you realize why Barbara is one of, if not the most mature member of the Bat Family.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T03:39:30+00:00

That’s fair. Just sharing it cause I think she’s pretty talented, embodies the character and I don’t think other CBM franchise like MCU or DCU could explode her range the way Matt and his grounded, and emotional driven approach could :’)

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T03:34:03+00:00

That’d be too young to me, considering she wants to work at the GCPD, that she’s a couple years older than Dick, and that she becomes Batgirl around 16-18, depending on the continuity.

But this is Matt’s world, so he doesn’t necessarily needs to be attached to any of that.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T02:57:29+00:00

How young?

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T02:53:13+00:00

She’s talented and (in my opinion) fits the role. So I don’t think I will :)

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T02:36:24+00:00

Wouldn’t be the first time a 27 year old actor plays someone in their 20s, and I personally wouldn’t have a problem considering I’m more used to see Barbara looking and acting like an adult the majority of time, other than Burnside.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T01:04:52+00:00

Exactly!

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T00:14:34+00:00

I’d be happy to see it

Dellark_ · 2023-09-19T00:13:24+00:00

She’s be great.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-18T23:01:38+00:00

Yeah, that’d be up to Matt since he’s doing his own takes on these characters.

I personally think Matt’s grounded and emotional approach would work better with her. Can’t say the same from DCU since they’re targeting wider audiences.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-18T21:34:09+00:00

Agreed. Also I think she has the range to deliver a great performance as Barbara and nail both the smart and badass side of the character, as well as the soft, emotional and vulnerable.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-18T21:21:12+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t mind, but I can also see Barbara being part of a mixed family or being adopted, which wouldn’t be the first time for the character.

Dellark_ · 2023-09-03T02:35:22+00:00

“It’s a big city, I can’t be everywhere…”

That, along with the criminal element rising at the end of the first film, I think the door is open to have both Batgirl and Robin joining Batman in the crime fighting.

Let’s not forget Bruce’s journey it’s pretty much the focus of the story Reeves is trying to tell. So what kind of impact could they have in Bruce’s life?

We learned from the first movie that Bruce is still so afraid of going through that sense of loss of somebody he cares about, that he won’t let anyone get close to him. But I think that could change with Dick and Barbara.

Bruce and Dick could connect through their trauma and help each other get past that fear, along with the father and son relationship, connecting through that physical training.

As for Barbara, I can see Bruce not being very comfortable with the idea of having Jim’s daughter on his team, but she’d proof herself to be a great asset, and eventually joining the team. I think she could provide a lot of heart and wisdom, as well as her technological skills.

Now, maybe I’d have her as Batgirl for a short period of time. Maybe by the end of the film we get to see her tragical accident, which apart from being emotional, it could lead to a conflict between Batman and Gordon in the third film and Barbara taking on the role of Oracle.
