Jena Malone Has Blonde Hair in the Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition Trailer
Hey, so. The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition trailer is here. And Jena Malone is in it plus a lot of other stuff. It looks like a different movie.
Honestly just from the clips shown in this new trailer, it looks like there was another movie to be made here entirely. And that’s after I’ve gone on record to say Batman v Superman felt like three films in one. There’s good stuff here, it just wasn’t shaped well. I’d also love to see a cut that was just a Batman movie and another that was just a Superman movie. Oh but to dream.
Anyway, let’s talk about this Jena Malone stuff. Spoilers if you’ve somehow managed to avoid previous reports of who she was supposedly playing in the film before she was cut.
So here she is from the new trailer. She’s at the Daily Planet, talking to Lois, and she’s blonde. What does this mean? It could mean absolutely nothing but let’s discuss anyway.
When we’d heard she’d been cut from the film entirely, we were still wondering who she was playing. The prevailing rumor was Barbara Gordon, though I was leaning toward another redhead, Carrie Kelley, because Zack Snyder was pulling some of his story from The Dark Knight Returns. At that time, Snyder very specifically said: “She’s definitely not Robin or Batgirl. I’m happy to say that.”
Ok, so she didn’t have a moniker, but she could still be one of them as a civilian. Sure enough, a short time later a Warner Bros. survey seemingly gave her role away completely – Barbara Gordon. But, as we all know, Barbara is a redhead. But as we all also know, Snyder actually doesn’t give a fuck about beloved comic characters.
So yeah, she could not be Babs at all. She could be Babs in a disguise. She could be Babs with blonde hair. She could be violently assaulted at any second. Did I cover all the bases? I still can’t believe she was cut. I’m interested to see her but not enough to buy the film.
And in case you were wondering if you should pick up Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition, the film’s cinematographer Larry Fong had this to say:
Those of you who are fans, will dig it. If you hated it, you'll still hate it.

Wait, what if she’s… Barbara Wilson? http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/9660/210334-106849-batgirl.jpg
Ba-DAM
I DO remember that she feeds her children like a bird and that IS alarming, but…still. Bunk worthy before being in your bunk was even a THING. And at the time, I’m pretty sure that people called her fat. Because of course.
Dina Meyer was better, even if her show wasn’t.

Fun fact: they actually repainted Silverstone’s costume for Meyer to wear in her Batgirl scenes.
But come on, Birds of Prey *worse* than Batman and Robin? I know I’m biased, but at least BoP had significantly fewer ice puns! ;)
Well I’ll be, it looks pretty good in its proper colors.
I don’t understand your frosty reaction to them.
One or two puns I can handle. But someone who has to make one every other sentence is trying too hard and just needs to chill.
The show was awful in the best way. So much new-millennium cheese.
This is weird since she had dyed her hair vibrant orange when it was leaked she was in the movie. I missed her the first time I watched this because I was expecting a ginger.
Is this going to be DVD or is it Blu-Ray exclusive malarkey?
I’m hoping my library can get me a copy to borrow.
I’m guessing it’s a wig… It looks like a bad wig…
Wait, what about me, a person with some ambivalence who enjoyed parts and hated parts and thought it was a major step up from Man of Steel and Wonder Woman was great?
…
I’ll probably walk away with the exact same ambivalence, but from a longer movie, huh? Oh, okay.
I have made great strives toward NOT piracy since landing a pretty comfortable job. I have Sling TV, too much genuine Amazon Music, and an Audible account.
But I’m not going to pay to see this. Fool me once, shame on you. Try to fool me twice, and ARRRRRRRRRR
They don’t call you Adam the Blackhat for nothing.
True story: began dating my wife, her brother’s name was also Adam, so his friends started calling me Blackhat. For four amazing years in college, I had a cool nickname.
Also, I torrented figuratively everything in the world during that same period, so I embraced it.
Not really a fan of piracy, but upvoted for proper use of figuratively. ;)
I’m a recovering piraholic. My avatar’s changed and everything.
Ugggh, I love Jena Malone so much I could die.
But this movie looks like a steaming pile.
But I love her.
But steaming pile.
With her being a blonde hanging out with Lois, she could be Cat Grant.
That would be…odd yet interesting.
But then where is Kara and Alex and Winn?
Trapped in the DCTVerse
Snyder also doesn’t care at all about famous hair design, considering Superman’s lack spitcurl, Lois Lane’s red hair, and Lana Lang’s black hair. So this could be the second blonde Barbara Gordon (or Pennyworth, I suppose) in a big Hollywood movie.
That said, what are the odds she’s just Cat Grant at the Daily Planet and gets killed in the first battle of Metropolis in flashbacks?
Given Snyder’s record with side characters like Jimmy Olsen and Mercy Graves, pretty good.
Wait, what happened to Mercy? Did she do basically nothing, or did they give her a ‘hot take’ murder as well?
She was in the room instead of Lex when the disabled guy was used as an unknowing suicide bomb. I’m pretty sure she was never named–or even had any lines, for that matter.
Uggh.

(How the frak can’t I find a .gif of Colonel Tigh drinking? I mean I love Starbuck, but I’m pretty sure that was like 75% of his scenes.)
Wow, you aren’t kidding. This is all I could find that was close.
I know, right! I mean there was one of him drinking ambrosia with Ellen, but they were all happy drunk and wasn’t the mood I was going for.
Well, mama always said if you want something done right, do it yer frakkin’ self: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4afcd684446fce5a408dd04153dbab164e89a51b3e76a9576d134490d472d241.gif
They named her and literally a minute later killed her. I was screaming internally at the theater.
Internally? You must have excellent self control, I only wish I’d kept my screaming internal at Man of Steel.
I was in a foreign country at the time. I didn’t want to get kicked out or arrested. :)
