6 Characters Who Most Definitely Shouldn’t Appear In The Batman

1) Catwoman

Somewhere along the line, it apparently became an unwritten rule that all superhero movies need to feature a love interest. Chances are that will also apply to The Batman, but with any luck, it won’t be Selina Kyle who catches Bruce’s eye.

The character has appeared in two movies now, and honestly, it’s hard to imagine what else she could bring to the table either as a love interest or someone who fights alongside the Caped Crusader in battle. It’s all been covered in her previous big screen appearances, and it would be much better for Affleck to go down a different route.

Yes, it would be nice to see a more comic book accurate Catwoman in this movie, but one of the things that made Deathstroke as the choice of villain so exciting is that it’s something no one expected and completely different to what we’ve seen in the past.

A strong female character in The Batman is essential, but why not delve deeper into the likes of Renee Montoya, Kate Kane or Stephanie Brown? There’s definitely room for Catwoman in this franchise and the DC Extended Universe, but before going down that route, there are plenty of other exciting options available.
