DCEU: Ranking The Batgirl Actress Shortlist From Worst To Best

3. Margaret Qualley

Katherine Waterson Batgirl
Warner Bros.

Known For: The Nice Guys, The Leftovers.

If Margaret Qualley's performance in The Nice Guys is viewed as her audition for Batgirl, then she'd be a fantastic choice for the part.

Confident, strong-willed and physically capable, her character was a rebellious twenty-something who defied her vindictive mother, a high-ranking official within the U.S. Department Of Justice.

Her tough attitude would make her a great fit for Batgirl, and she's in the perfect shape to be able to cope with the physical strain of playing a superhero.

Chances Of Her Being Cast: Now that The Leftovers has finished, Qualley has a sizable opening in her schedule, and with roles in Death Note, Io and Strange But True in the can, she's perfectly positioned to become the next big breakout star.

And, with The Nice Guys, she worked closely with studio Warner Bros. Her foot is firmly in the door, and we wouldn't be surprised if she nabbed the role. 8/10
