it’s two am and i am not sleeping again. so. casting for birds of prey: comics version

oracle played by margo gignac. this was a mega difficult decision bc i wanted barbara to be played by someone who was an actual wheelchair user + someone who looks like she could scold batman into submission. gignac fits that best i can do. i also think she has great hacking hands. i read gignac was a black belt somewhere & i think that’s great for someone playing babs too

black canary played by lindsay watson. it’s wig time babey! i specifically wanted to pick a dark haired actress because, even though dinah’s dying her hair by the time bop rolls around, i don’t forget her roots (pun totally intended). i wanted to pick someone who looked like she could kick an army’s ass and then scoop up a child & call them sister. watson fits the bill nicely. i think she has a kind face and her interviews speak to so much determination and willpower, which is the energy i want brought to dinah.

huntress played by tea falco. she’s an italian actress from sicily (like helena! who was born in the us but raised in sicily) who just has this look to her i really love, especially for bop huntress. she seems fun and beautiful and like a good teacher. i don't have a lot to say here, really. i looked at her face and went yeah that's huntress

lady blackhawk played by america ferrera. i think about zinda having a beer while huntress & canary destroy the bar & zinda walks away w the info theyre looking for. big america ferrera vibes. also i love the idea of lady blackhawk being played by an actress named america. also zinda’s hot & america ferrera’s hot i have no other notes here.

lady shiva played by lucy liu. this is the inspiration for this post and also my personal sapphic fantasy ngl. (liu is beautiful of course and i have the fattest crush on shiva lol)

right. boy time!

nightwing played by paul eryk atlas. my understanding is that atlas is a romani british actor. he's primarily played romantic leads and def looks it. i like him for nightwing bc that's basically dick's role in bop. he serves to be barbara's on again off again bf. also atlas has long hair and i'm a long hair dick supremacist (now. wigs do exist but dude got LUUUSHHH hair). (runner up: jan cina, who's just a little too ectomorphic for nightwing for my tastes. sorry dude)

ted kord played by robert buckely. i got nothing to say. buckely has a nice smile and is otherwise a white dude w brown hair. which is also what ted is. so. between a kord played by buckely and oracle played by gignac, oracle remains the powerhouse. as it should be.

robin (tim drake) played by jay lycurgo. was titans supposed to be awful? yes. did i see lycurgo get cast and go DAMN THAT'S TIM. yes. he has that look in his face. that's all. also i saw him in the bastard child devil show on netflix and he gave off THEE BIGGEST tim drake energy there. i was very impressed. (runner up: david mazouz just for the lols).

batman played by robert pattinson. sue me i liked the batman 2022. no notes.

Batfam Fancast Part 15: Birds of Prey

Barbara Gordon's close friends and personal squad of vigilantes, this group of mostly women are the premiere team when its comes to kicking ass and taking names. Similar to Charlie's Angels,Barbara as Oracle commanded the team to stop crime of all types. We'll be fancasting Black Canary, Huntress,Batwoman, and Lady Blackhawk.

Quick Recap we have Jane Levy as Barbara Gordon , Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Cassandra Cain, and Jacqueline Scislowski as Stephanie Brown.

While Cass and Steph are techinically not part of the Birds of Prey it would make sense to bring them into the fold. Allowing for extra character interactions. The fact is that these young women would have other more experienced women in their field to help teach them, especially if your mentor works with them often.

Huntress

Helena is the super serious badass of the group compared to the level headed Dinah and comedy relief of Zinda. As time goes on she learns to play nice and even appreciate being part of the team.

Just like my post about Jason its time to finalize my choice for Helena Bertenelli. Surprisingly neither of my original choices have been chosen. From Suzie Crabgrass in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide to Rosita in The Walking Dead Christian Serratos has been all over the spectrum of television. The 32 year old actress has done it all and seen it all. Drama, action, horror, comedy, even sparkly vampires. Her experience and skill as an actress has Huntress written all over her.

Lady Blackhawk

Now we are getting into the lore that I bet not even most comicbook gurus would remember. The Blackhawks are a World War II era organization consisting of the world's greatest aviators fighting the Axis Powers along with other superpowered threats. (Now read this section in a 1930s radio voice)

Due to some time displaced shit during a mission Zinda Blake known as Lady Blackhawk finds herself in the modern world. Needing to adjust and find herself she joins the Birds of Prey, even suggesting to Barbara to call the team that. An ace pilot and sharpshooter, she does most if the pilot work for the Birds. Zinda can also hold her own in a fight hand to hand.

She plays a key role as the cooler of the group,as well as order beer in 30 languages, a woman after my heart. Honestly she's just a sassy and cooler MCU Bucky Barnes when you think about it. While everyone else is doing Kung Fu she will Kung Fu your face with a shotgun blast. Rambunctious and Brave , just like her time in the military she is a ride or die for her friends.

To really fit into this vigilante group, I questioned whether to keep her as a time displaced character or as a completely new character. Instead of her being a World War II era Aviator, instead becomes a descendant of the famous pilots. The idea in general is for the Blackhawks to still be a major paramilitary organization, working independently from any government or superpower. In the comics the Blackhawks become a international shipping company kniwns as Blackhawks inc. which she owns 1/8 of the company. I like to combined that idea with the paramilitary idea. Blackhawks inc. is a front for the Blackhawks organization to work internationally without any interruptions.

So the idea goes that Zinda is the youngest pilot and most talented agent of their organization, she inherited her stake in the company from her grandfather, a former Blackhawk, as well as her father a former Naval pilot. A former Air Force veteran herself she struggled with the restrictions and weight the company and her family name brought and soon found herself isolated socially from her more older agents. This isolation eventually led her to be recruited into the Bird of Prey which metaphorically allowed her to spread her wings.

"Great googly moogly Batman! He's typecasting!" Indeed I am! Ironically another actor in this franchise was typecasting for another Aviator centered film. From the Good Cop, and her breakout role in Top Gun Maverick Monica Barbaro is absolutely perfect for this role. Already working crime procedural comedy and the action masterpiece that is the Top Gun sequel she fits this role like a glove.

Batwoman

From character assassinations, terrible story arcs, all around butchering of character concept and continuity, The New 52 might have temporarily increased Comic Book Sales, however it butchered and outright erased multiple popular comic book characters. Though through all the thick and thin of terrible writing was small group of characters that were able to get great stories out of that terrible era. Kate Kane aka Batwoman are one of the first major LGBT+ character in DC and flourished during the New 52.

Daughter to Colonel Jacob Kane and cousin to Bruce Wayne her life was changed when her twin sister and mother were kidnapped, when her father raided the area her mother was killed and sister supposedly killed and was never found. Leaning on her father now more than ever she found herself seeking career in the US Army. She eventually made it to West Point as an incoming freshman. Sadly an anonymous tip accused her of homosexual conduct, her commanding officer asked her to disavow the claim, but as a woman of honor and to uphold the Honor Code of the Academy she will not lie. This sadly forced her out of West Point. While her father was supportive of her coming out, the action of her being forced out a West Point led her to a heavy partying lifestyle when she went to college. Later she defends herself against a mugger and encounters Batman. Inspired by the event she trains with her father and eventually becomes Batwoman.

I felt a need to talk about this character due to the fact that the CW's Batwoman is not the best representation of the character. Feeling too much like another Batman ripoff then the genuine original character from the comics.

In the Birds of Prey I designate her as the team Bruiser. While she is technically the least experienced of all the vigilantes she's willing to throw hands with anybody and everybody. Sort of the opposite of Batman and showing how the Birds and Batgirls the more experienced heros. Think Matt Damon in Ocean's 11,a bit if a rookie but definitely can stand with the big leagues.

For Kate Kane I needed someone with a chip on their shoulder, something to prove. Evan Rachel Wood was my only choice for this role. As the lead in Westworld and a whole laundry list of television and movie roles she feels like the perfect candidate for this Gotham defender.

Black Canary

While Oracle commands the Birds of Prey, the weight of leading the team out in the field goes to Black Canary aka Dinah Lance.Cunning and commanding,she is a skilled fighter that can keep up with the likes of Batman and impress the likes of Lady Shiva who wishes to challange her. But while she is a great hero her origin story are as various and muddled as her Arrowverse portrayal. There is Dinah Drake the original WW2 era Justice Society member, Dinah Laurel Lance Daughter of Dinah (Now pronounced Diana) Drake-Lance member of the Justice League and New 52 Dinah Drake- Lance? Experiment turned government led Leader of Team 7 and divorced punk rock star? Then in Rebirth reverts the origin to its original but her and Slade still team up for some reason? Its all confusing so I'm just going to fuse it into a cohesive story.

Dinah Laurel Lance (Die-Nah) is the granddaughter of Dinah Drake-Lance (Diana) a meta human and the first Black Canary or just Canary, Dinah Drake is a founding member of the Justice Society. Years later after the JS disbandment due to government mandates she is recruited into a government lead Black Ops team known as Team 7. Other well known team members are a young Slade Wilson and future husband Kurt Lance. She retires and divorces Kurt Lance and lives a quiet life as a singer she dreamed to be, afterward having a daughter Diana Lance (Yes I'll confuse you even more) and granddaughter Dinah.

Decades later Dinah Laurel Lance grows up and develops the same metahuman abilities and has to train under her grandmother. Dinah Drake dies of cancer and Dinah at 17 is inspired to go into music creating a punk rock band known as the "The Canaries". The band never hits it big and disbands but has a cult following. This to the fact the masked lead singer dubbed the "Black Canary" was seen fighting crime whenever they were on tour. During her time in the band she was also presuing a degree in psychology eventually earning her degree at 27 (Added some Young Justice lore).

She moves to Star City and develops a romantic relationship with Green Arrow, Oliver Queen. While their love was about 4 years strong they have a falling out when she learned how Oliver treated their ward Roy Harper when they learned he was a drug addict. With Roy leaving after that she breaks up with Ollie and eventually found herself in Gotham meeting Barbara as Batgirl. They become close friends to the point where when Barbara becomes paralyzed she's there to help her recover. A year and repaired Ollie relationship later, Barbara now Oracle creates the Birds of Prey and recruit Dinah as her first member and team leader.

I could have easily gone with the obvious actors for this role, Winnick a popular fancast or even stay with Smollet. But I'm going in a different direction.I didn't want to go with that really well-known actress and wanted someone to really bring in that brawler aesthetic that Black Canary brings. Jessica McNamee is an Austrailian actress best known in America for the USA Network show Sirens or more recently as Sonya Blade in the Mortal Kombat 2021 movie. The very movie where she had to keep up with likes of Lewis Tan, Max Huang and Ludi Lin. While the action was not the best the potential is there, she had a amazing rough fight scene against Kano that really emphazied her toughness. I have the confidence to say this Aussie actor has the potential for this bird.

DANGER BY DESIGN FANCAST

ND #14

Minette - Anya Taylor Joy

Heather McKay - Thomasin McKenzie

Jing Jing Ling - Maya Rudolph

Dieter von Schwesterkrank - Andrew Garfield

Jean-Michel Traquenard - Bill Hader

Some women with noses that would put birds of prey to shame are perfectly content with their appearance, while others with perfectly acceptable features are convinced they are more hideous than Frankenstein. Self-image – it can make people do strange things.

MHM, TRT, FIN, SSH, DOG, CAR, DDI, SHA, CUR, CLK, TRN

#Anya taylor joy's feminine rage is what made this match for me #also thomasin mackenzie looks like she can break at any moment but never will and thats very heather of her #id let maya rudolph bake me cookies any time #dont question my motives on bill hader he can do anything #and i just feel like the intention behind dieter was to be hot and fashionable and... nice? idk so there you go #nancy drew game fancast #danger by design #nd #clue crew #DAN #Jean-Michel Traquenard #Dieter von Schwesterkrank #jing jing ling #heather mckay #minette

my apologies if you’ve been asked this before, but if you could fancast the arrowfam for the dcu, do you have any ideas for who’d play who? i trust your authority on this over anyone else on earth

🥹

i have never been asked this before! i’m honestly not great with fancasts because i don’t watch a lot of things and i don’t know many actors, but i do have a few ideas.

for roy i would want him to be played by a navajo actor. i know he is ethnically irish in the comics but i think that should change. however there don’t seem to be any mainstream navajo actors out there to choose from for a fancast, or at least none that would be fitting for roy, so it would have to be someone not yet known.

for ollie i’ve always been pretty partial to charlie hunnam. if he’s actually an awful person don’t come at me i just know him from sons of anarchy. i don’t normally think blond men are attractive but i think he is so that means he is ollie material to me.

for dinah i’d want her to be played by jurnee smollett like she was in birds of prey. i think she was great in that movie and also 😍😍😍

i do not have fancasts for connor, mia, emiko, or lian. 😔
