    Batwoman

    Character » Batwoman appears in 961 issues.

    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.

    What do you think about my little main cast for a Batwoman movie?

    Hendricks might be a bit old?

    I've always thought that Amy Adams would make a good Batwoman...

    I like the cast except for Kate herself. Christina isn't... right.

    Christina's not right for the part... my first choice would be Rooney Mara. I also think Emily Blunt would be good.

    All these women seem too lithe for Kate Kane. I would probably choose someone more like Katee Sackhoff, although not neccesarily her.

    @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

    Isn't she a little too young, or at least seems a little too young?

    @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.

    @dtaranguiz: I suppose that makes sense.

    I kinda doubt it would happen at all though. Unless she gets really popular with the general public somehow.

    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.

    She has the right sort of look I think. Has she been in anything that shows any transferable skills as a superhero?

    @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 ^^
