Harley and Ivy are girlfriends in the comic these days.

Just saying.

Definitely not Magan Fox as Ivy. Maybe Evan Rachel Wood or Natalie Dormer.

Catwoman, hard to tell. I'd likeif they went with someone older like Thandie Newton though. Tonnes of people keep suggesting Eva Mendes or Paula Patton for the role.

Actually dreading this movie now.

DC had the *perfect* chance to nail Harley's twisted origin at the hands of the Joker in Suicide Squad but decided to portray it as "#relationshipgoals".

They show (or at least choose to portray) a deep misunderstanding of their own character and as such I don't hold out much hope for this movie and yet wouldn't be surprised to find Megan Fox being cast in a major role as that seems to be the quality they seem to be aiming for these days.

Will avoid. Wonder Woman is DC's last chance at potential imo.

Michelle is the only one I view as Catwoman.

She was perfection.


I wonder how they will do this because as Afflecks version of Batman is an older one I assume Selina will be in her 30s too. So she will be older than Harley and Poison Ivy I reckon.

Yep that is crazy but does Catwoman have to be the same age as Batman?

If Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are both young actress then you would assume that Catwoman would be the same age!

Although maybe Catwoman would be the letter of the Sirens but even so I would go for someone in their late thirties not someone like Uma who is older than Affleck by only 2 years!

Its about making continuity choice. Lets assume that we get the 'birds of prey' at some point.

Will the movie huntress be the daughter of batman and catwoman, or the other version???

I can see Emma Stone, Natalie Dormer, Elena Satine, Christina Hendricks and Bryce Dallas Howard all potentially playing Poison Ivy.

As for Catwoman if they want an actress around the same age as Ben Affleck how about Kate Beckinsale?

The reacent Catwoman comics, have seen selina as the crime queen of gotham. A perfect set-up for an older catwoman...

Kate Beckinsale seems a good choice for Catwoman but the connection to Underworld will constantly be there which is a pity!

Ok the idea of Catwoman as the crime boss employing the other two does seem decent

Christina Hendricks is too old for Poison Ivy as she is in her forties as her and Harley Quinn should be around the same age!

Also will it just be those three characters in it or will we have the Birds Of Prey trying to stop them rather than it being Batman!

The Birds of Prey vs. The Gotham City Sirens could be good one of my favourite Batman animated episodes was Girls Night Out: Superirl/Batgirl vs. Harley/Ivy/Livewire.

I would like to see Batgirl (again), Huntress and Black Canary on film but who would play them and they could also cast Zatanna and Killer Frost as well.

The general idea is that the Birds of Prey will be in Gotham City Sirens as well. Or it was back in May when rumours of this movie first materialised.

I'd like to see the Sirens vs. Birds Of Prey, then the two being brought together by Waller and Katana to fight off a bigger bad. Not a supernatural/magical one though.

Megan Fox should be kept as far away from the DCEU as possible. I'd say the same for Amber Heard too, but that ship has sailed. If they're looking to cast (a) Poison Ivy, then I'd second the recommendation of Bryce Dallas Howard, or maybe even Jessica Chastain?

No idea about (a) Catwoman though. I don't think the age thing is all that important either, cause continuity is always changing with the comics, and so the films shouldn't need to stick to the continuity of one or the other. That's why I didn't get it when loads of people started crying when Batman was killing people; it's happened in some of the comics, and Snyder decided to take that aspect of Bruce for the DCEU. What's the big deal?

Christina Hendricks is too old for Poison Ivy as she is in her forties as her and Harley Quinn should be around the same age!
Why? Comic Continuity is always changing.

Also will it just be those three characters in it or will we have the Birds Of Prey trying to stop them rather than it being Batman!
I think a Sirens vs Birds of Prey (with a cameo from Batman) would be the better way to go personally; more a female superhero film with male supporting cast. If DC manage to pull it off with Wonder Woman, then there's some serious advantages going forward, and they'll have beat Marvel at something (finally).

I would like to see Batgirl (again), Huntress and Black Canary on film but who would play them and they could also cast Zatanna and Killer Frost as well.
I suspect (a) Killer Frost will be kept for a future Flash film. More because she's a metahuman, and I suspect anything that happens in a film within Gotham will be less superhero/villain, and more hero/villain.

They have abilities, more than powers I guess. From memory, Zantanna is more a Magician (think Doctor Strange). She doesn't have power herself, but rather utilizes knowledge. I guess the same can be said for Ivy, in that she utilizes knowledge rather than power, though don't quote me on either of that!

Flash525 I said Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn should be around the same because of the relationship between those two in the past and also on the idea of having an older Catwoman as the crime boss in charge of the group of them means you would expect the other two to be younger!

Although there is no reason why Poison Ivy couldn't be older as you could have Catwoman younger instead but I just think that it would better for the balance of the group of them if Poison Ivy wasn't unless you want to bring Uma Thurman back (that's a joke by the way)
