10 Possible Villains For Joss Whedon’s Batgirl

Fresh off the news that Joss Whedon will be helming Batgirl for the DCEU, the first reaction was, who'll be Barbara Gordon? In a recent chat with Variety, the director suggested the possibility of an unknown being cast in the cowl and cape. Fair enough. But another crucial question that we haven't been asking is, who'll be the main villain?

James Gordon Jr.

If Barbara is the symbol of all the good in Jim, James Gordon Jr. is the epitome of Gotham City. As a psychopathic villain who wants nothing more than to destroy his family, he’s the Joker to Batgirl’s Batman. He’s done a host of despicable things to his sibling, and he shows no sign of letting up – much like Halloween‘s Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.

Whedon may be drawn to this character since he’s a prime example of nature trumping nurture. Both Barbara and Jim Jr. experience the same upbringing, with a father who does everything for truth and justice, yet one ends up becoming a rotten apple while the other fights crime.

There’s a powerful, riveting story waiting to be told here. It’s bold and will undoubtedly upset those who criticize the DC Extended Universe for being too dark, but it’s still a potential goodie.

A Se7en-style Batgirl film? Hell yeah, I’m in!
