One of the biggest mysteries in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was just who Jenna Malone’s (now deleted form the theatrical release) character was.
The two bigger theories had her as Batgirl AKA Barbara Gordon or Robin Carrie Kelly from The Dark Knight Returns.
Director Zack Snyder said recently the she’s definitely not Batgirl or Robin.
And, like Ob-Wan Kenobi, what he said is true… from a certain point of view.
Now a post on Reddit seems to have let the proverbial cat out of the bag with a screen grab (below) of a Warner Bros community survey issued to fans, asking what characters they’d like to see more of in Batman v Superman’s marketing.
On it, Malone is clearly listed as… Barbara Gordon.
We have to say, this isn’t a massive surprise and we love the idea of her as Jim Gordon’s daughter.
It’s only a pity we’ll have to wait until the R-Rated home release to see her in action. But not as Batgirl – we’re guessing this because Cavill (for example) is listed as Clark Kent/Superman, we we’d think it would be Barbara Gordon/Batgirl is she suited up.
Let us know your thoughts.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
