DCEU: Ranking The Batgirl Actress Shortlist From Worst To Best

4. Katherine Langford

Katherine Waterson Batgirl
Netflix

Known For: 13 Reasons Why.

In terms of feature-films, Langford is the least-experienced actress on this list, with not a single film of hers having yet been released (she has two on the horizon, but we obviously can't gauge her performances in those yet).

Her biggest claim to fame is 13 Reasons Why - the Netflix-exclusive TV series that debuted earlier this year - for which she garnered widespread acclaim. Her dark, tortured performance must not have been an easy one to pull off, but she did so successfully, and, if this leak is to be believed, she is currently the frontrunner to play Batgirl.

Still, it really is hard to imagine her jumping straight into the DCEU with so little experience. A Netflix TV show is a breeze compared to the skill level required to lead a blockbuster, and it remains to be seen if Langford is capable enough.

Chances Of Her Being Cast: If we put aside the fact that this leak states she is the frontrunner and look purely at the tangible evidence, then Langford has a good shot at landing the role.

Not only is she an unknown, but she's the best kind of unknown - one with an immensely successful project under her belt. Warner Bros will not ignore the fact that 13 Reasons Why was a hit (and garnered a huge fanbase) making Langford a hot property. 7/10
