Why not?

You realize women aren't meant to maintain super low body fat percentages, right? It messes with hormones and stuff starts to shut down.

 

[Ingrate]

Was it known before that Selina was going to be in this?

I'm starting to think that leaked script was true.

They needed someone for the 'Bruce's first kiss' episode, and who better but a kid Selina.

Well there is a range you have to maintain. like 5-10% for women.
How can you tell how low her body fat is simply via the picture?
What would you say about Female Sprinters/Swimmers then?

You typically need under 10% to show abs, especially like that.

Not a single girl on my swimming team had abs like that. At a professional level, the medical implications of maintaining that kind of body are understood.

Could also be Lipodystrophy or Muscle Hypertrophy

Look, I'm just saying she looks fantastic and everyone should go towards that as opposed to Honey Boo Boo for physique

 

[styl3s]

An origin story that never reaches the origin. Double worthless.

It's FOX which means we wont have to wait 10 seasons to see that origin come to fruition.

You know he will dawn that cowl on the series finale just like he ripped his shirt to reveal the S and flew in Smallville.

 

[jett]

Selina Kyle being cast seems to confirm that god awful pilot script.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

All they had to do was try and adapt Gotham Central. It doesn't feel like that's what they're going for.

 

[BotoxAgent]

Batman is WB's only decent superhero franchise and they seem determine to drag into the ground

 

[GuitarAtomik]

That girl looks like a real life anime character.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Somehow I can't see that kid growing up into Batman. I'm reminded of the divide between adult Wesley Crusher and adult Wil Wheaton.

vs.

 

[andycapps]

Seems like how CW used to cast their shows.

[See You Next Wednesday]

lol.

 

[dead souls]

Jake, JAKE, JJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Isn't that the Kid From Touch?... Lets just hope its not like Touch, where Gordon is all like "BRUCE, BRUCE BRRRUUCE" and running after him every episode.

 

[Mariolee]

Wow, that girl does really look like Michelle Pfieffer, especially in this photo:

Whoa, the resemblance is uncanny. Maybe that's the point? Like, maybe this takes place in the old Batman 89 universe.

OH MY GOODNESS YOU GUYS.

 

[charsace]

So DC is gonna keep on letting Marvel outdo them.

 

[Father_Brain]

So DC is gonna keep on letting Marvel outdo them.

At live-action TV? Maybe when the Netflix shows debut.

 

[Penguin]

So DC is gonna keep on letting Marvel outdo them.

I've seen Agents of SHIELD... I'll take Gotham's train-wreck over it.

And actually, Marvel has never outdone DC on TV!

 

[lovely ladies]

OH MY GOODNESS YOU GUYS.

I want to see kid version of Bob the goon

 

[Mrs. Manky]

Just CUT HIS HAIR. Please.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I fear that what I saw in my imagination is not going to come to fruition.

I mean, I imagined the Riddler as a deranged Zodiac-esque nutjob obsessed with proving how clever he is and Gordon having to hunt him down.

More this

than

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I concur with that girl looking like a young Michelle Pfeiffer, first thing I thought when I saw the story. As for the kid playing Bruce... Eh. They probably picked him because he looks young so it'll be easier to do an eventual time jump to correct things just as was done with Once Upon a Time which I'm certain was due to needing to bring Henry's age more in line with the kid who plays him.


EDIT: Is there really a discussion going on about the abs on a 12 year old girl? Never mind they look fake.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So DC is gonna keep on letting Marvel outdo them.

I Don't Know,Arrow is getting pretty damn good. As for Agents for Shield.. ehhh..not so much.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I don't understand why Bruce Wayne is even in it.

 

[quickwhips]

The show's not about him. lol

Why cast him then or his future girlfriend? I thought you were a detective?

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Yeah, Bruce is supposed to be 10 in the show so of course they'd cast a kid who looks it and then when puberty kicks in and he starts looking more his age they can do a time jump.


Also for that ab discussion here's a more recent picture. http://www.pacificrimphotopress.com/details.php?gid=1107&pid=76853

Great, now I feel like a creeper.

 

[Discotheque]

Holy shit at the pic you posted. She really does look like a young pfeiffer

I don't approve of Selina Kyle being a character in this show but the casting is fantastic appearance wise for her

 

[DrForester]

Season 2 or season 3 finale when young Bruce and his funny friend get into trouble and his friend "dies" in a vat of acid?

 

[Buddha Beam]

I'm ok with these kids being regular cast members if by "regular" we mean they appear maybe 6 to 8 times during a 24 episode season. Just as like a sort of touchstone we see periodically so we can see Bruce and Selina's taking steps towards their destinies.

It'll get old fast if they're actually main characters, though.

 

[DrForester]

WUT?!

Only 14, dem abs!
She also looks alot like the best catwoman.

Spoiler

Michelle P.

Beiber has a sister?

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

this shows going to suck so much

they could have put all of this time and energy into making an actual batman show

why are they going this route? because of smallville?

i have no desire to see super heroes who arent super heroes yet

 

[bengraven]

Or here

WUT?!

Spoiler

Michelle P.

I call bullshit.

From the hair to the clothing to the camera filters in both these pics, she's really 35 right? These both were taken in 1991 you can tell...

 

[Joeki11a]

She looks like a cat face kiddy

 

[FutureZombie]

Are you telling me we still don't get to know the untold story of what happened to Batman as a baby?

 

[Joeki11a]

I don't understand why Bruce Wayne is even in it.

Because Batman?

Wtf

 

[The Outsider]

The last thing this show needs is young versions of every Bat character showing up. I'll give it a chance, but on the off hand that the leaked script ends up being true... well, Arrow and Flash for the win.

 

[Sub_Level]

Future Deunan Knute in James Cameron's live action Appleseed adaptation that will never happen.

Bro come on. He has to do Battle Angel first. And before that Avatar 2, 3, and 4.

 

[JDSN]

Its cool that they got Kitt from Futurama as Catwoman.

 

[Extra Sauce]

What is the point of Bruce being in the show at all? To just build wangst? Do the writers realize he has to end the show as an obsessive, borderline murderous loner?

Borderline murderous is not how I think of Batman.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So is Selina older than Bruce?
I can't deal with that if true.

 

[charsace]

Sorry I wasn't clear. With Marvel the shows and movies all are in the same universe and so it makes it all feel big. With DC you don't get that feeling about the Universe at all.

That 14 yo is going to gear up to be a ho?

Borderline murderous is not how I think of Batman.

Every canonical rendition of young Bruce (Year One, Year Two, and All Star), as well as the Nolan verse, portray him as dangerously unstable. I don't think you're in a good place mentally when you decide to abandon everything you know to acquire the knowledge and skills to hurt & scare criminals.

Because Batman?

Wtf

As I wrote before, why not set it during Year One and just have Batman show up once in a while? No one cares about all of Gotham before there were supervillains.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Sorry I wasn't clear. With Marvel the shows and movies all are in the same universe and so it makes it all feel big. With DC you don't get that feeling about the Universe at all.

Arrow feels 100% right at home in Nolan's universe.

 

[charsace]

Arrow feels 100% right at home in Nolan's universe.

Feels. It isn't a part of the same universe though. With Marvel Iron Man, Cap, Agents of Shield, the Netflix shows, etc. will be in the same universe.

 

[120v]

i could dig this as long as they don't try to shoehorn tyke bruce in every episode

... which i'm sure they will

His inexperience does present the risk for manslaughter. I thought you meant in the sense of intentionally killing people.

 

[Forsaken82]

Come on, it's pretty obvious he'll feature somewhat heavily. Probably fall in with a bad crowd that Selina's also a part of at some point too,

It has been confirmed that one of the Cases (if not the very first or even main season/series arc) is The murder of his parents... so of course he will be featured prominently.
