Ruby Rose is Batwoman, a totally different character from Batgirl.

I like Daisy Ridley but don’t see her as Batgirl.

Yeah, maybe it's the whole Burnside de-aging (along with the name) but I see Batgirl as someone a bit younger. Though she is younger than Benoist so maybe I just have no idea.

Ridley seems a bit old for the part, but it should work out.

It isn’t even her age to me. I think it’s her overall look and demeanor don’t quite fit what I’d think of for Barbara. Hopefully she’s just an early rumor and they go with someone different. I also feel that she’s going to be synonymous with Star Wars and it might be hard for her to jump from one big role to another.

I don't buy her at all as Barbara Gordon. Ridley is only being cast since she's coming off as the lead from the most recent Star Wars Trilogy.

This is just speculation but I don't foresee a big starring career for her as she ages. She could be Mark Hamill Pt. 2.

Riley's brief work in Murder on the Orient Express was 100X better than anything Hamill did on-screen outside of Star Wars for the next 20 years after A New Hope.

I think Daisy’s real test will be how her post Star Wars career is though. It’s easy to hotshot her into films while she’s still involved in one of the biggest franchises in existence. She’s a decent actress don’t get me wrong and I find her fairly likable, but she really hasn’t had a lot of noteworthy performances to date. Saying that she’s the best part of a film that was met with fairly middle of the road reactions doesn’t say a whole lot about her.

As far as Hamill, I think he’s a really good actor when he gets the chance to be. He seems more contented with his career as a voice actor though.

Awwww shit! The Incels are gonna lose their fuckin' minds when they hear Daisy might be Batgirl.

I see people, Dudes of course, bitching about her accent. "But she's from England!" Never mind the fact that some of the best American accents in films these days are from Uk and Aussie actors.

Who exactly is going insane? People disagreeing with a potential casting choice? Can’t have that it you’re a hater. It’s been pretty civil and no one is going out of their way to say she’s a horrible actress. Just not what would be envisioned for this role.

Oh stop. It's not/was not about YOU.

I'm in some DC pages and I saw people bitching bout Daisy's accent in terms of playing Batgirl after this story/rumor broke. That's a dumb ass criticism considering other Non-Americans have played in these roles as listed above.

Just clarifying because you didn't exactly make it clear who you were referring to so it only seemed logical that you were referring to this thread, especially given the long running gag of me being a DC hater.

Go read the thread for The Batman where I've been defending a lot of the choices including the casting of Robert Pattinson and tell me that's still true. Especially amongst the crowd or people writing him off at the sparkling vampire from the Twilight films. I also gave generally favorable thoughts to Shazam.

She could be a good fit. Closer in looks to what I'd envision.
