My first thought for Batgirl was actually Elle Fanning.

"Probably new" so I guess that crosses off Bella Thorne, Emma Roberts, and Elle Fanning since they are known enough to headline their own films and shows.

Right now I'd say Jane Levy is my top choice, but that's probably because I'm more familiar with her work compared to the others. Though, because Whedon likes to play out of the box I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't go with her, because she IS a popular pick.

It was confirmed by Gail Simone on her Twitter account this movie is being based on her series with older Barbara Gordon taking on the role of Batgirl again after being in a wheelchair for years and with the age of some of the other actresses are we supposed to believe Barbara was 10-12 when she was Batgirl the first time? Jane is 27 (and will most likely be 29/30 by the time Batgirl comes out) which means Barbara could have become Batgirl when she was 18 and got paralysed when she was 23/24 and then got cured and becomes Batgirl again when she is 29/30 which lines up with the comic books.

I've been saying that from the beginning since Batman is older in this continuity. No more than 32,33 though.

Gordon has got to be in his 60s by this point, so Barbara should be at least pushing 30 or so.
So that's a no to the younger actresses barely around 20.

While I will admit some of the better choices are late 20s i don't think its problematic to cast a 20 year old as Babs. Simmons was born in 55 and the youngest is Fanning born in 98. It would not impossible for a man in his 60s to have a 20 year old daughter

I'd love to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead take on the role. She's the perfect age and a great actress. Emmy Rossum would be another good one too

Molly C. Quinn Jane Levy Holland Roden Karen Gillan Elena Satine Alexandra Breckenridge So we're mostly in agreement. Jane Levy it is then.
