Birds of Prey
Next summertime , the DCEU will be getting a female - fronted antihero movie calledBirds of Prey – well , technically , its full title isBirds of Prey ( and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn ) – that will put the women of Gotham City in the spotlight .
Margot Robbie , who is producing the motion-picture show and come up with the initial conception back in 2015 while shootingSuicide Squad , will reprise her theatrical role as Harley Quinn . the celluloid will also asterisk Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the Huntress and Jurnee Smollett - Bell as Black Canary . With several actresses cast in undisclosed roles , here are 10 Female DC Comics Characters We Hope To See InBirds Of Prey .
Catwoman
Catwoman has yet to make an appearance in the DC Extended Universe , despite the picture ’ extensive portrayal of Gotham ’s criminal underworld , so it ’s about time she showed up . Birds of Preyseems as good a time as any for Selina Kyle to make her DCEU debut , giventhe celluloid ’s focus on distaff antiheroes in Gotham City .
In a just world , Catwoman would have equal billing to Harley Quinn . This is her urban center ! But a supporting role will answer , becauseSuicide Squadalready proved that Margot Robbie ’s Harley Quinn can carry a pic , and that was when she was hem in by beat weight .
Amanda Waller
Amanda Waller appeared inSuicide Squad , encounter by Viola Davis , butshe was merely there as the exposition mouthpiece . She register up at Arkham Asylum , explicate the whole premiss to take some shortcuts in the plotting of the photographic film , and that was about it . Davis ’ talents and the Waller character deserve well than that .
Waller is a regime broker involved in the shadiest missions pulled off by convicted scapegoats . She has high - up political connections , while her perfect aim means she could even be involved in an action sequence or two . The DCEU has failed her so far andBirds of Preywill give the DCEU manufacturer a chance to rectify this .
Vixen
Vixen possesses the Tantu Totem , which give her the spirit of animate being , which means that she can espouse the ability of any animal at any time . We ’ve seen two version of the Vixen character inthe CW ’s Arrowverse , including the original rendering Mari McCabe in her own CW Seed animated serial publication and the WWII - era version Amaya Jiwe inLegends of Tomorrow .
But we ’ve yet to see the Vixen role realized on the silver covert with blockbuster visual impression and a major movie maven playing her . Why not useBirds of Preyto start that off and mayhap conduct to a solo motion-picture show if she proves to be pop enough ?
Stephanie Brown
Over the year , Stephanie Brown has taken on a few superhero alter self-importance , including Robin and Batgirl , but she also had her own assumed name as a caped crimefighter : Spoiler . Either mode , she ’s a fabled member of the Batman category – one with some serious sharpness – and it ’s high-pitched prison term she made the saltation to the silver gray screen .
In the comics , she has train extensively with Bruce Wayne , Barbara Gordon , and even the Birds of Prey , so there ’s plenty of opportunities to accommodate her into the approaching movie . She ’s worked with both in effect guys and bad guys , making her an ideal candidate to joinHarley Quinn and her squad of antiheroeson the screen .
Carol Ferris
We still have yet to seeany sign of Green Lantern joining the DCEU , despite the fact that he ’s a crucial phallus of the Justice League and the squad already got a movie two year ago and a film calledGreen Lantern Corps , described tantalizingly as “ Lethal Weaponin space , ” was announced when the whole enfranchisement was first announce .
A soldier name Carrie Farris – a clear allusion to Hal Jordan ’s love interest Carol Ferris – has already shown up in two DCEU motion picture . She could reappear inBirds of Preyto assure fans thatthe Green Lantern moving-picture show is still coming , and last give actress Christina Wren something to do beyond being an Easter testis .
Hawkgirl
Hawkgirl is a relatively obscure , yet awful character from DC Comics lore . She has been given the ability of flight by a pair of contrived wing that are made of the Nth metal – the DC Comics universe ’s answer to Marvel ’s vibranium ( in other words , a fictional alloy thatexplains off anything that does n’t stay by the law of physicsby the fact that it ’s a fabricated metallic element and can , therefore , do whatever the writers say it can ) – so she would fit in withthe gritty , strand tone of the DCEU .
A few character reference have taken on the Hawkgirl name , but the obscure and most recent version , and therefore the most suited for a DCEU portrayal , is Kendra Saunders .
Poison Ivy
We have n’t ensure Poison Ivy on the big filmdom since Uma Thurman encounter her inBatman & Robin . Thurman did a great job of translating the character to the film sensitive , to be fair to her – it ’s justa shame that the movie turned out to be abysmal . Birds of Preyoffers Warner Bros. a second prospect .
Poison Ivy is n’t slated to make her DCEU debut until the similarly distaff - focused forthcoming team - upGotham City Sirens , but as long as she ’s getting a place in this existence , she could make an show in at least one scene inBirds of Prey .
Lois Lane
Birds of Preywill reportedly see Harley Quinn , the Huntress , and Black Canary direct Cassandra Cain under their wing ( bird punning altogether intend ) after she stumbles across a diamond belonging to the criminal offence lord Black Mask . Amy Adams ’ Lois Lane has yet to receive the screen time , story arcs , and recognition thata performer of Adams ’ natural endowment and staturedeserves .
The DCEU ’s Lois has always been characterize as a persevering reporter who will take chances her living in search of the truth . Birds of Preycould see her on duty assignment in Gotham City , investigating Black Mask ’s criminal conglomerate . Like Cain , she could end up in need of protection .
Talia al Ghul
We ’ve already seen the daughter of Ra ’s al Ghul portray on - screen inThe Dark Knight Rises , where she was play by Marion Cotillard , although that pic play up the angle of her being Batman ’s love pastime and little else .
In the comics , Talia is more than just an on - and - off fling for the Caped Crusader . She can use steel , gun for hire , she ’s practiced in martial arts , she ’s been consort with Deathstroke ( whosepresence in the DCEU was already teasedin theJustice Leaguepost - credits stinger ) , she ’s a genius – and thanks to the Lazarus Pit , she also has the power of resurrection and her maturate operation has been slowed down .
Batgirl
Much in the same way that Wonder Woman was introduce inBatman v Supermanbefore being given her own solo movie , Barbara Gordon could make her unveiling inBirds of Prey – perhaps in the final struggle against Black Mask ( assuming the movie has such a tantrum ) , just as Wonder Woman did in the fight against Doomsday inBvS – before perplex her own moving-picture show .
It was a disgrace when Warner Bros. announced thatJoss Whedon had pulled outof writing and take aim aBatgirlmovie for the DCEU , but hopefully this moviewill still happen with another author - director , because she ’s a wondrous character .
