Molly C. Quinn Jane Levy Holland Roden Karen Gillan Elena Satine Alexandra Breckenridge So we're mostly in agreement. Jane Levy it is then. Jane Levy is the clear and obvious favorite. I would be ecstatic to hear she is cast in the role. |

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. I don't know about that, I mean why can't Gordon have married and had a child with a younger wife? Maybe he was 45 she was 35, it happens. |

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
Elle Fanning is a more realistic choice for Stephanie Brown/the Spoiler.

I've been on an unexpected Amanda Seyfried binge, so........Amanda Seyfried?
good actress, doesn't have the most consistent filmography, but is still likeable.

So it appears. I mean, I didn't know Henry Cavill before he was cast as Superman so perhaps they'll let Whedon do his thing. I knew of Henry Cavill from The Tudors before he was cast as Superman. Yeah, he was old hat to me. I knew him from The Count of Monte Cristo with Jim Caviezel. |

It is problematic 'cause it is being based on the Post Oracle Batgirl New 52 series by Gail Simone which has Barbara in her late 20s taking on the role of Batgirl after spending YEARS in a wheelchair as Oracle and is going to feature flashbacks of her becoming Batgirl, being paralysed by the Joker in the events of 'The Killing Joke' (which she is haunted by) and in a wheelchair as Oracle. Barbara was 18 when she become Batgirl the first time and Elle Fanning might work in the flashbacks but out of the rumoured list of actresses that were revealed by a Reddit user Jane Levy is the most realistic.
Elle Fanning is a more realistic choice for Stephanie Brown/the Spoiler.

Barbara is a weird case where she started off as an older character and got de-aged. Originally she was meant to be a love interest for Bruce so they did things like make her a Congresswoman and stuff, with Dick Grayson as a younger guy who wanted her but had no chance with her.
Then when they decided to age Dick up to become Nightwing, they figured since Bruce had enough love interests that Dick SHOULD have a chance with Barbara so they gradually de-aged her so she was now only a little older than Dick (who was allowed to grow up into a man).

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 Nice choices! Either one would work for me as I'm a big fan of Rossum especially . |
