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?

Depending on how deep Warner Bros. plans on going into the Batman mythos, using David Cain as a villain could setup a chain of events that would introduce his daughter, Cassandra Cain, into the universe. Also, he’s got quite the history with the League of Assassins, which opens up the door for that as well.

One storyline that Whedon could borrow from is No Man’s Land, where Two-Face hires Cain to murder Jim Gordon, but it’s Cassandra who stops him. Naturally, much would have to change for the big-screen version; plus, I don’t think No Man’s Land will be the desired route here. However, having Babs help Cassandra is an intriguing premise that deserves to be explored.

Cain’s relationship with his daughter also acts as the polar opposite of Babs and Jim’s, which is another subplot that someone like Whedon will relish. Family drama allows for heightened tension, making the story more realistic and relatable.
