When it was first announced that Jena Malone, the actress with whom director Zack Snyder had already worked with in Sucker Punch, would take part in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, there was an impressive amount of speculation about what kind of character she would play. It was even suggested that she could bring Batgirl to the big screen or maybe a sort of female version of Robin. However, because the director had to limit the length of the film, the scenes in which the actress appeared eventually had to be cut.

Sometime later, with the film’s release for the small screen, it was discovered that Malone only had a minor role. She played a forensic examiner supporting Lois Lane in her investigation.
