Oracle
We know that Ben Affleck’s Batman will have been fighting crime for quite some time in this new iteration, which means the door is wide open for his various proteges and sidekicks to appear in the burgeoning DC cinematic universe. We’ve already heard rumors that Nightwing may make an appearance in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, but could there be room for Oracle, the former Batgirl, as well?
Barbara Gordon is one of the most beloved comic book characters of all time, and while casual audiences may not be willing to accept Batgirl on the big screen (thanks a lot, Batman & Robin!), her other alter-ego may be more appropriate anyway.
[zergpaid]For those unfamiliar, Oracle is a moniker that Barbara took up after being shot and paralyzed by the Joker in “The Killing Joke.” Not willing to give up her love of heroics, she now operates behind an array of computer screens, feeding Batman and his costumed companions with strategies, battle tactics, and pivotal information when they’re on patrol. She’s like a more badass Felicty Smoak from Arrow.
Her story is one of incredible strength and a strong belief in doing what’s right, even after heart-wrenching personal tragedy. Throwing her into a Justice League movie would be a great way to introduce her character, and give the team another normal human team member for audiences to latch on to (all while giving the film a much needed dose of gender diversity). She could even help the team from Gotham City, feeding them vital intel via blutooth and using her skills to help each hero individually. The possibilities are endless, and Zack Snyder would be smart to include a character who can not only explain what’s happening to the audience, but ground some of the more fantastical elements in a beloved human character.
