Batman V Superman: 10 Wild Rumours That Could Happen

7. Jena Malone Is Barbara Gordon

Jena Malone is another actress whose role in the film is shrouded in mystery and although her time on set was charted down to being mere visits to Sucker Punch director Zack Snyder, no one is really buying it – points for trying though. With all the connections to The Dark Knight Returns, everything just started to click into place and it looked very likely Carrie Kelly would be making an appearance.

Fuel was added to the fire that Jena Malone is playing Carrie Kelly when she posted an image on Instagram of her newly dyed red hair, however, a lot of people seem to forget there is another very important redhead in the Batman mythology – Barbara Gordon.

Barbara Gordon has never been adapted for the big screen (Batman & Robin’s Barbara Wilson does not count) and with reports of Commissioner Jim Gordon dead, we could finally see the character given the treatment she deserves as she dons a cowl of her own in her father's memory. Or who knows, with all the emphasis on how the Joker has damaged Batman’s life we could see the wheelchair bound Oracle.
