They could an actress in her late 20s/early 30s for Ivy and an actress in her mid 30s for Catwoman.

What about Jessica Chastain as Poison Ivy?

Once again, DC just reacting without any plan in mind. Have any of the Marvel movies been spin-offs? No, because they have a clear goal.

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! it's sexist to say that a 42 year old actress can't be a love interest for a 40 year old actor. |

Yeah I can't see how this will work unless Catwoman is within the same age range as Ben Affleck. As said him snogging a 20 year old would just look wrong. He is playing an older version of Batman anyway so surely him and Catwoman will have crossed paths before now? perhaps we might see her pop up in his solo film first.

Are the teens not going to be able to cope with seeing an older Catwoman?

They've already changed things by having Metropolis right next to Gotham, is there a particular reason why they have to stick with the traditional Batman / Catwoman relationship? There's something not quite right when, in a film that will have three central female characters, the main talking point is the age of one of them because it may not apparently fit in with - a supposed - relationship with a man, a man who at best may have nothing more than a cameo role. If ever there was a film that allowed these characters the opportunity to step out of the shadow of their traditional roles of love interests, then surely this is it.

I don't see what the problem is? if Batman at 40 falls in love with Catwoman at say 24 is it really an issue? as long as the story is plausible it would work.

From the perspective of logic, and regarding Harley Quinn, can anyone give me a sound reason why Amanda Waller would want Harley Quinn (an unstable woman with no actual powers) on her squad? Every other member of the Suicide Squad has a reason (or at the least, some skills) to be there. Harley Quinn ... doesn't?
Deadshot - skilled assassin Captain Boomerang - more of a gadget guy Killer Croc - skilled swimmer, enhanced strength El Diablo - Fire Starter Slipknot - Another assassin, skilled with ropes and mounting objects Enchantress (I'm aware she was the villain, but initially she was supposed to be a member of the team) - she was an ancient Witch Katana - skilled swordswoman/fighter Harley Quinn - has a hammer? |

She was also a skilled gymnast and an exceptional hand to hand combatant. http://batman.wikia.com/wiki/Harley_Quinn It wasn't explained in Suicide Squad but we did see glimpses of her gymnast skills when she was fighting in the lift and in the scene in the office also when she grabbed onto the rope. Her abilities will probably be explored more in her The Gotham City Sirens movie especially as it also will star Poison Ivy. |

My comment about not wanting Uma was referring to me wanting a Catwoman in her late Thirties if she would be leader of the Sirens are not related to the fact of Catwoman relationship with Batman
Although I asked if Catwoman has to be the same age of Batman? I'm sorry if you found those comments sexiest as they were not intended to be as my post was not related to the relationship between Catwoman and Batman.However I can see how you would think that with other posters previous posts! |

Let's not use "they've changed so much already" as an excuse to what would clealy be sexist casting - especially when much of what they've changed has been criticised. Older actresses face barriers in getting work as it is, but it's particuarly offensive when the role is actually age appropriate for them - and I say this as a 27 year old.

Does anyone know what year they are planning to release this film?
As it seems WB/DC are packed with films up to 2020 as I'm guessing the Batman solo film and Man Of Steel sequel sequel would get priority so it might not be 2021 onwards that we get to see this film! |

Personally I'd rather she her defined by her own characteristics whatever her age rather than casting her to conform to a traditional role of love interst for some other character who wont even be a focus of the film.
Gotham Sirens will not exist in a vaccum. This is a shared universe franchise where characters are going to be interacting with each other in other movies. In the case of Catwoman who is a side character in a bigger story a huge part of her character is her relationship to Batman and the two crossing paths will be inevitable. It can't be avoided. In the Batman universe Ben Affleck was cast first and the moment that decision was made it affected all other casting decisions going forward. If Kate Beckinsale had been cast as Catwoman first I would be saying the same thing about Batman and how he would need to be age appropriate. |

As much you/we dislike the idea of changes to the established universe, based on the fact that it is has already happened, it is a possibility that it could happen again. I'm not saying we have to like it, and suggesting the possibility is not endorsing any kind of discrimination, it's simply highlighting, the obvious - that it is a possibility. In that context, Catwoman need not be bound by her relationship with Batman, and if so she can be any age. Again, it's just something which at this point is still only a possibility.
