the one area where DC has always been able to be ahead of the competition is
female characters think of the animated episodes Girls Night Out and grudge
match both so good you should watch them right now or the current Harley Quinn
animated series which does a wonderful job showcasing the Harlequin poison ivy
friendship it's only a friendship there but of course that started in the Batman
animated series with a little bit more of a blurred line as to what the
relationship is and then of course there's like so many comics that you can
check out including the Gotham City sirens comic that's gonna be a whole
separate video don't worry we will be talking about that this week for sure
but so far on the big screen Warner Brothers has had tremendous success with
Wonder Woman Harley Quinn and Mira Loma with that last one they might have had a
bit of a snag with the recent release of new information in the Amber Heard
Johnny Depp domestic abuse situation which seems to be being tried in the
court of opinion but this is definitely a very bad development for Amber Heard
and I know about recasting but going forward for Aquaman 2
we might get a new love interest or you know what you're simply a new female
co-star right that doesn't always have to be a romantic situation for the
second Aquaman and don't why because DC including an Aquaman's lineup has a ton
of great female characters it's a deep bench boy and many of them many of them
are about to jump to the silver screen side note most of Marvel's best female
characters are x-men oh boy are they sullen which of course has been tied up
over at Fox as has the Invisible Woman so fine he could be making up for lost
time very soon he's also fast tracking of course lady Thor that's not her name
but that's how we have to differentiate between the two of them she's just
supposed to be Thor don't worry we'll talk about that a whole lot when the
movie comes closer to release but anyway as Harley Quinn returns to the silver
screen and introduces moviegoers because the rest of us know who they are thank
you very much to Black Canary Huntress Renee Montoya and Cassandra
Cain in name only on that last one kind of annoying about it but anyway
here's a lineup of who's next usually I make and I will make what's next videos
for movies but this time I'm also doing a who's next
alright so you won't have to wait very long because this very summer the DCE
you will be getting its first female villain like major female villain we've
had Faora she's so cool what a fight sequence I wish she'd had more than one
would I mean there was some good stuff there I would say it's interesting I
think birds of prey is this big a mixed bag its Man of Steel and some people
really like Man of Steel just gonna think some people are really gonna like
birds of prey alright sort of like there is also doctor poison as you might
recall kind of right but they weren't main villains they were sidekick
villains but Kristen Wiggs cheetah she's a main villain I'm excited I am getting
excited because in the comics doctor barber and Minerva starch is a tragic
origin story because she started out as Diana's friend we've already seen shades
of that in the trailer before becoming her foe feeling that Wonder Woman
betrayed her there's that layer to their adversarial situations which i think is
really good so we'll see how patty Jenkins brings this to life on the big
screen but the biggest question obviously is will she go full cheetah
she better go full cheetah I can understand how after especially after
cats they would be nervous about that but ya gotta do it I mean otherwise
she's not really cursed is she and it's supposed to be a curse okay so uh except
maybe she's cursed with poor fashion sense you can't let her so many animal
prints Barbara alright so and yeah in June 2021 so we have to wait the toad
would take a little bit of each so it's a year later right that's a long time
all right so anyway June 20 21 Catwoman once more returns to the silver screen
and a lot of actresses have done a great job with this character I even ended up
liking Anne Hathaway in the role although my favorite is still Michelle
Pfeiffer oh god um I could I've actually gone back and just rewatched the
Catwoman sequences in that movie because they're amazing um she never got to
continue with the character it was too early who are ahead of your time
Michelle so this time in a nod to Eartha Kitt's famous and fan favorite portrayal
of the carrot although Eartha Kitt's best role is
obviously yzma so good but zoe kravitz is taking on the role and at first I was
I didn't think she was an exciting choice because she's really failed to
make an impression with audiences so many times she's had a lot of chances
but when she recently debuted her Selina Kyle haircut I was like oh my god you're
you've left right off of the comic book page maybe this is the role that Kravitz
has been waiting for will she get the goggles right oh by the way side note I
have to say it she is Jason Momoa stepdaughter who of
course is Aquaman so I think that had a wee bit to do with their casting but I
don't care cuz she now should now now I don't care well I'm feeling more excited
about it and let's see how the actual performance is but she looks so much
like Selina Kyle how bad can it be and then also how will Kravitz I
differentiate her own version of the character from there's so many other
versions at this point that audiences are familiar with Catwoman is a tough
role but an iconic one and she's the only female character major female
character in a very crowded movie so she's got a lot of representing to do I
think my hair cut so great I think she can do anything with it okay that's
that's the kind of great hair styling that we can do 90% of the work for you
and if the costume looks good I don't think she could mess it up alright man
just a few months later in the same summer DC hopes that James Gunn can
throw them a successful curveball just like he did for Marvel and to be fair
even though I think James Gunn has had not such great situations as the female
characters everywhere else Gamora nebula and mantis I like mantis turned out
pretty darn good nebula is actually my favorite but that's thanks to other
people's work and Avengers end game but Donna still put her on the board and did
cast karen gillan margot robbie will not only be back as Harley Quinn what will
she wear who will she be besties with those might seem like shallow questions
but they aren't with Marvel with a you know Harley Quinn and I do like Marvel I
mean I I know it's not my favorite but I do appreciate Margot Robbie's portrayal
of the character Viola Davis also returns is Amanda
Waller hopefully with more screen time and a plan
it's not stupid I love Davis as waller I think she's really well cast so here's
hoping the gun finally makes the role worthy of her you have a freaking Oscar
winner playing Amanda Waller use her then Daniela Meltzer a newcomer both as
an actress and as a character because this is a character I guarantee you
probably have not heard of well gender Bend ratcatcher and if anyone gets upset
about that gender bending their ridiculous ratcatcher can control rats
and has carried a cyanide gun gas gun in the comics which to be fair
apparently that gas can be used to help ratcatcher control other like people it
seems not to work they were there alike there's only so much we can do with rats
what can James Gunn do with rats I mean what's bigger the group of people who
like rats I'm thinking it's not that big or the group of people that have a hard
time looking at rats for a long period of time and say a movie
hopefully moviegoers are somewhere in between James Gunn has cast a few other
women including his girlfriend but this is the Suicide Squad so don't get too
attached finally as for guaranteed upcoming we're gonna talk about some
that are that should be used but it's for guaranteed upcoming DC female
characters on the silver screen well they haven't been cast yet we do know
who's coming in 20 to the end of 2021 for the Black Adam movie a hot girl will
finally be hitting the silver screen a fan favorite from the animated series
but she's shown up in a couple of likes like on the CW not so successfully
that's because everybody wants to see the animated version damn it but this
reincarnated super superhero has had many incarnations so it'll be
interesting to see which one Dwayne Johnson who's also a producer chooses
but Hawkgirl it's said isn't a isn't a lead character
she's a supporting role in the movie the female lead will actually black Adams
love interest in fellow antihero in the comics Isis but I think it's safe to say
they'll be changing her name some of you might be purists but there's just no
getting around that you have her be called Isis she gets her
powers from an ancient Egyptian goddess and is not only super enhanced so you
know super stamina flight strength I mean strength but she loves flight but
then she could also control nature sometimes unintentionally you know her
emotions get the best of her when she's angry at reigns when she's having good
mood the flowers bloomed it sounds pretty awesome storm girl is
also supposed to show up as a member of the JSA she was on the casting list but
with the character you're already getting a show on the CW and Dwayne
Johnson understandably not wanting that TV version in his movie there have been
recent rumors that she might be replaced with cyclone also created by Geoff Johns
its shadow still looms but cyclone controls the wind I mean come on unless
they cast a really likeable actress I think DC can do better than just give us
her screen time to someone else you know we don't want too crowded casts right
but in terms of doing better there are actually some really great DC female
characters still available once it could be just as popular as Wonder Woman
Harley Quinn and Mara and it's kind of weird that they're still available so
here's who's who's who's here she's left and we hope he's here still in the DC
grab bag we hope that some Hollywood talent takes advantage of so JJ Abrams
is bad robot it said is working to develop movies and TV shows based on
Justice League dark and I think Shirley's etana
has to be at the top of everyone's wishlist right she is a very cool
magician who casts her spells by speaking backwards sometimes she's like
a classic old-school magician but sometimes she also goes a little goth I
think either way would be highly acceptable to fans ava duvernay along
with mr. miracle writer Tom King he wasn't so good on Batman because if
you're a DC fan that's how you know him and you're like that guy Knight he was
very good on vision and mr. miracle so he can do a good job so they're supposed
to be bringing big Barda to the big screen but we'll see if Marvel's the
turtles which is extremely similar getting the theaters first creates an
issue there for Warner Brothers big Barda and mr. miracle are a fantastic
couple but I do suspect they I do suspect Ava Duvernay who loves boo Barda
would Ray spend the character but I would be okay with
I think it always comes down to just getting the right actor I think with the
right actor you can make those kinds of changes I was very happy with jurnee
smollett balance Black Canary alright then of course DC fans would
love so those are at least maybe in the works now DC fans would love to see
vixen in the movies speaking of DC female characters of color no one's
talking about this though which is too bad I mean no one's like thinking of
developing vixen she's gotten some attention in animation of course but the
character who can sell it's hard to describe her powers which is maybe why
she's still on the bench but basically she has this totem that she can you know
so sad that she was just like the other girlfriend and the animated series I
mean the character deserved better than that but at least she was on the screen
and she got to be part of some cool episodes she was in grudge match but she
can summon the strength and skills of any animal and she still doesn't realize
your full potential yet they might feel there's a similar similarity there to
Black Panther but I mean DC is just gonna have to push back because Marvel's
just taking everything at this point many of us were also hoping to see
killer frost as a member of The Suicide Squad in some upcoming movie her powers
are self-explanatory she's basically evil Elsa both Supergirl and Batgirl
have been discussed by the studio suits over orner brothers interestingly I
Supergirl is an interesting character cuz sometimes she's made to be evil
which is kind of cool but that's really actually the most rhetoric ters been
developed as of late but when it comes to bad girl of course Jeffrey Wright is
a new Commissioner Gordon incredibly well cast see that's a great example of
well done ray spending it's not it's like you look at Jeffrey right you go
buddy it's Commissioner Gordon but of course if he's if he's Commissioner
Gordon that means they would also have to Ray spend Barbara Gordon so they
would have to look for the right actress to pull that off because Barbara Gordon
is beloved by many fans as she is but I think it can be done then of course
Wonder Woman can continue to do some heavy lifting in this department as she
should with some of her other famous villains right serious searcy the
ancient Greek sorceress that's right from the Odyssey but also Greg Ruffin
did a great job reimagining her recently and I think she'd be really cool and
then of course there's also Giganta whose powers are also self-explanatory
remember cool China Merkel was in monsters versus
monsters aliens monsters vs. aliens it would be the same thing I think would be
excellent finally of course the biggest most obvious omission is where the heck
is poison ivy don't worry that Gotham City sirens
