6. Stephanie Beatriz

Whenever Stephaine Beatriz says she wants to be in comic book projects (She-Hulk and Batwoman) this writer is all for it. She did get her wish, voicing Batwoman in animated film Catwoman: Hunted, but she could be doing more. She has the presence and attitude to be the lead in a project. Plus, her phone should be ringing off the hook since Encanto rocked.

The new new DC Comics universe may need a Renee Montoya. A bad-@$$ who happens to be one of the few honest cops on the Gotham City Police Force. She’s also one of Batwoman’s closest friends and sometimes lover. And this could also lead to the character becoming The Question. A role she would slay as on a HBO Max show.

5. Bryan Cranston

There’s nothing that Bryan Cranston can’t do. He was hilarious as the easily bossed around father in Malcolm in the Middle. His performance in Breaking Bad as Walter White speaks for itself. He even has a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role in Network. If he was nominated for an award, he was going to win. With all of that in mind, it’s quite shocking no one has cast him as Batman’s coldest villain Mr. Freeze.

Cranston could bring out all of the emotion that people had when they saw Mr. Freeze in Batman: The Animated Series. A man who’s not exactly a villain, but not good either. Except it would be a lot darker. All of the CGI stuff that may come with a character like this is nothing. It’s the speeches about his Nora that would get people crying. And Cranston would certainly make audiences cry.
