BATGIRL: Is WB Hoping To Land TWILIGHT Actress Kristen Stewart To Play Barbara Gordon?

We're hearing that Warner Bros. is looking for a “Kristen Stewart prototype” for the role of Barbara Gordon is the upcoming Batgirl movie. Could they be looking to land the Twilight star herself, perhaps?

Batgirl may not be making her big-screen debut in the Birds of Prey movie, but her solo film is still very much in the works, and it looks like Warner Bros. has begun to think about casting the role.

Twitter's Daniel R - who has been spot on with DC-related scoops on numerous occasions - has heard that the studio is looking for a "Kristen Stewart prototype" to play Barbara Gordon, and believes that they may be interested in landing the actress herself for the part.



We'll obviously have to take this as a rumor for the time being, and, of course, even if WB does want Stewart for the role there's no guarantee she'd be interested. Last we heard, the Twilight star was in talks to join Elizabeth Banks' Charlie's Angels reboot (expect an official announcment on that soon), so she may not be available anyway.

What do you guys think? Could you see Kristen Stewart as Babs? Sound off in the usual place.

@ArkhamClown - Emma Watson is Barbara Gordon to me.

@SonOfAGif - Emma Watson is a great choice. I’ve always thought Chloe Grace Moretz would make a good Barbara. Her role as Hit-Girl proves it.

@ArkhamClown - If they ever did an Alternate Batman universe I would love Chloe Grace to be Carey Kelly

Nobody came away from Twilight unscathed, but Stewart is a pretty good actress. She's actually excellent in Personal Shopper.

@RorMachine - exactly! She was great in personal shopper(under the radar and veryyyy under rated movie btw). She was great in clouds of sils Maria and a few other great performances. She really is a great actress. Like you said and others people really need to forget about judging her acting ability on twilight, they wanted her to have a performance just like she did the best she could do with that shit, that should never be held against her any of the twilight crap. So people u guys need to forget abt that crap she did it for her big break and she became a very rich star. But I guarantee you and she said this she did not like the movies or her performance even though that wasn’t her fault hell nobody any of the actors and there’s some good ones in those movies everyone was garbage in that. So put it in the past and look at what she had done since.

Mark my words she is a great actress and Wood killed in this role and if she’s thinking about doing Charlie’s Angels, why not become bad girl have your own franchise instead of a Charlie’s Angels franchise and just be a kick ass, one of the greatest female superheroes of all time and personally probably my favorite batgirl. Wonder Woman and supergirl r both right there for me too. As female superheroes go.

@RorMachine - She's also good in The Runaways, I kinda got a feeling the director of Twilight wanted them to "over act" a bit.

She’s a good actress. Better than people give her credit for. But she doesn’t give a shit about big budget blockbusters.

Prototype...so not her but an actress who is similar.

@aflynn - Well an actress similar Kristen Stewart needs to be an actress incapable of showing emotions. Any suggestions?

@Urubrodi - A sex doll?
Gizmoduck
Gizmoduck - 7/23/2018, 12:28 PM
@Urubrodi - How about a pet rock? What are they up to these days? A sloth shows more emotion than her. Blank stare into the void at all times.

@Mercwitham0uth - The Deadpool avatar suits the comment so well! Well done.
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 7/23/2018, 12:33 PM
@Gizmoduck - She is one of the worst Hollywood actresses out there. It would be worse than Halle Berry as Catwoman, and that's saying something.
Gizmoduck
Gizmoduck - 7/23/2018, 12:44 PM
@Urubrodi - whoa there, lets not get hasty. Thats just rude.

Urubrodi - 7/23/2018, 12:47 PM
@Gizmoduck - You just compared her to a rock and a sloth XD
Gizmoduck
Gizmoduck - 7/23/2018, 7:14 PM
@Urubrodi - lol i said the rock and sloth have more range, what you said cuts deep.

"Prototype"... Just another way of saying, they want someone with same body shape like her.
