THE WALKING DEAD's Lauren Cohan Joins BATMAN v SUPERMAN As Key Comic Character

As you can see from the Tweet below, IMDb (before you bring up the fact that anyone can edit the cast lists on the site, I've NEVER seen their official Twitter account mention one of those unconfirmed additions) has confirmed that Lauren Cohan is playing Martha Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While it's a little disappointing that The Walking Dead star hasn't been chosen for an ongoing role in these movies as someone like Batgirl, this is still a pretty cool bit of casting news. The trailer previously revealed that Watchmen's Jeffrey Dean Morgan - who will be getting to know Cohan very well on the Atlanta set of her AMC series in the coming months when he takes on the role of Negan - is playing Thomas Wayne and that we're getting another Bruce Wayne origin story. What do you guys think about Lauren Cohan playing Batman's mother?

Well, it sucks that she'll only be in the movie for about 5 minutes at the most.. but it's a nice addition regardless!

Seems like a waste, since all she's likely to get is thirty seconds of screaming. Oh well.

Damn! I was hoping Batgirl! Still.. at least Martha is a DMILF.

I knew it. So that ViolatingNDA review is confirmed BS yet again the review said Laura Mennell was Martha Wayne.

Jeez, thank God they're killing the Waynes again! For a second, I totally forgot Batmans origins.

Well that seems like a waste of a perfectly good actress.

I guess its cool....she'll scream for ten seconds and get shot


She would've been a cool choice for Huntress

Yeah, I just went back and watched the comic con trailer again. That's definitely her.

[frick], what a waste. She's a great actress, was really hoping she'd be Selina Kyle.

I mean I get the Jeffrey Dean Morgan cameo given that he was in Watchmen.
But yeah, I wonder why she would take this role. Basically any old extra could do it.

Why do they keep killing the Wayne Family??? I think everyone knows the origin.



Its getting cruel now haha

Nice. Maybe they will have some extra flashback scenes with her in the movie, not just the famous scene.

That also means she might be back for flashbacks in Batman's solo movie as well. Really like her

"That also means she might be back for flashbacks in Batman's solo movie as well."

Y'know, that's probably how they sold her on the idea...

She's one of the most beautiful women in the world...

I saw her on TV just the other day though ... the Ellen show or something, I think. She's really pretty.

okay, maybe they might add a sex scene before they are gunned in the streets. That would be dark.

She's got the weirdest accent I've ever heard, though. In one sentence she can go from Southie English to New England American. It's very strange to listen to.

Btw, I don't think we're getting another "Bruce Wayne origins story". In the trailer you can see that it's all flashbacks.

I wanted her for Wonder Woman so bad it isn't even funny

Damn! That's actually pretty great casting. Definitely seems like a Martha Wayne.
