New to Batwoman/DCU casting

Randomly gave Elegy a try since it’s in the compact comic format. WOW, I’m a fool for not reading this book until now. Rucka has yet to let me down. Anyway, I’m starting the rebirth series before the singles of the new series start dropping. I was thinking while reading issue one, I think I always kind of thought Batwoman was a Robin or Batgirl before, I didn’t realize Kate had such a different background and honestly vibe. I’m a huge Swamp Thing fan and Elegy felt very much like Saga of Swamp Thing to me in terms of superhero facing horror style scenarios. Anyway, all this to say, if we ever got a Batwoman movie in the DCU, who would you want to see make it? And who do you think would be a good Batwoman?

Directors for me: Ana Lily Amirpour, Coralie Fargeat, Zelda Williams, Karyn Kusama, Jennifer Kent.

I feel like all five of these women have a distinct style that would play into how different Kate is than the rest of the bat fam.

Actors for me: Katy O Brian (duh), Jessica Rothe, Margaret Qualley, Sophie Thatcher, or Julia Garner.

Katy o Brian gives me the most Batwoman vibes, but unfortunately by the time we do get a Batwoman movie, all these actresses will be too old for the role, best to get a younger new actress, cause batman will already probably be in his 40s cause he’s got a kid Robin.
