After resigning from the Army under DADT for being a lesbian, Kate Kane lived a directionless party-girl heiress lifestyle until, on a dark night, a chance encounter with Batman inspired her to find a new calling in life, later adopting the mantle of Batwoman.
@spideygirl: As much as I have a huge crush on Christina Hendricks I don't know. She seems too cheerful to play Batwoman, but yes use a redhead. Now the question is ill the media use Batwoman at some point.
Maybe it's because I've been watching the first season of Homeland, but I like Claire Danes for Kate. I think she could pull off the right mix of outer strength/inner vulnerability.
Kate needs an unknown, we should also not be looking for redheads. Look for vampiric skin and give her a wig/dyejob, Kate's hair is not ginger-red anyway, it is blood red which does not exist among natural haircolors.
A Batwoman movie as a concept seems absurd, although I'd love to see her appear in a Batman movie. She's quickly becoming one of my favorite characters
@v_scarlotte_rose: A Batwoman movie won't be seeing the light any time soon, so i believe the best way is to think about young actresses who would play the role in the next 10 years or even more.
It's much more likely we'll see her pop up in a supporting role (a cameo, more likely) in a future Batman film. Rooney Mara looks a lot like her (and is still in her 20s, although she would have to dye her hair).
I think Jennifer Morrison would make a pretty good Batwoman. She definitely can pull of the attitude. Though whether or not she looks the part well enough is debateable.
I like em all except Hendricks. The actress doesn't need to be a natural redhead. There has to be a better option out there for the hard-as-nails military brat lead.
@v_scarlotte_rose: Not specifically. She's been acting long enough to be relatively good at it. But nothing really showcasing action, at least not that I've seen. But I do think that she looks the part pretty well ^^
