Batman V Superman: 10 Characters That Could Steal The Show

2. Jena Malone€™s Character

Jena Malone€™s mysterious as-yet-unnamed character in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice has already been a big talking point for fans. Initially, the top rumour was that Malone is playing Carrie Kelley €“ a female version of Robin, who joined Batman€™s crusade in the comics instead of spending time with her neglectful stoner parents €“ in the movie. More recently, a new theory cropped up, suggesting that is actually portraying Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Commissioner Gordon who fought crime alongside Batman as Batgirl, before getting crippled and becoming The Oracle €“ focused on sending tactical advice to Batman€™s earpiece - instead. Whichever theory ends up being true (and it€™s bound to be one of them), Jena Malone€™s character is bound to be a memorable one. The actress oozed charisma in The Hunger Game: Catching Fire and Sucker Punch, and is sure to repeat that here, especially if she€™s suiting up and fighting crime alongside Gotham€™s Caped Crusader. There€™s currently more audience appetite for female superheroes than ever before, so Jena Malone€™s probably-heroic character seems like a very likely show-stealer. Perhaps she€™ll even get a solo movie, if the audience response ends up being incredibly positive.
