12 Most Surprising Revelations In 2016's Comic Book Movies
2. Jena Malone Wasn't Barbara Gordon After All - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
The Revelation: Jena Malone's role in the movie, which was ultimately relegated to the Ultimate Edition, was in fact that of scientist Jenet Kylburn, who helped Lois Lane (Amy Adams) with her investigations regarding Lex Luthor's unique bullets and the Senate bombing.
Why It Was Surprising: The popular word on Malone's role since 2014 has been that she would probably be playing Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl, fueled by the lack of confirmation from anyone working on the movie to the contrary.
Even when the Ultimate Edition was announced, fans were still confident Gordon would make an appearance, even if not in costume, but as it turned out, Malone merely had a forgettable scientist role that really didn't deserve all that secrecy (and totally wasted her talents).
This is a case of Warner Bros. pulling the wool over our eyes for the wrong reasons, because the ultimate reveal was a super-anticlimax.
