Any particular reason CCH isn't on that list. Not like she's Kevin Conroy where he would never fit the part on film...

CCH Pounder is tailor-made for the role.

I want an actual fat lady to play Waller. We don't need every person in comic book movies to be played by hot models. edit: How about that actress from Precious. ----------------

"When I'm fighting you it's like you're literally standing still." They just had to put that little fight in at the end, haha. Good line though.

She's everything the antithesis of the "typical" hero. She's a minority, a woman, not attractive in the traditional sense. I was a huge fan of the character on JLU

I really loved how she walked right into the room full of super powered killers and dominated the room with her presence. The current Amanda Waller can't do that at all in the arrow so I really hope whoever they get for the big screen can project that kind of power.

All the other actors talk about how they have to spend a lot of time at the gym for the show, they need to get the chick who plays Waller to spend the same amount of time at IHOP.

You know what would be an amazing mid-season ending? Ollie defeats Ras Al Ghul, doesn't want to kill him, but it does happen somehow. Nyssa walks to him ready to kill him, then kneels down because Ollie now is the leader of the league of shadows. Cut to credits, see you in a month.

He comes out as an 8 year old. He has a crossover with Gotham where he teaches young Bruce how to fight. Then he has a crossover with Constantine where he sacrifices his youth to take a child out of hell. Then he has a crossover with Shield where is caught as a potential 084.

A Kree device hits him and sends him halfway across the galaxy to the planet of Argo, where he crosses over with the pilot of Supergirl, helping Zor-El get his daughter Kara off the exploding planet. Next up, John Stewart Diggle recovers a Green Lantern ring in the new Green Lantern pilot, and in the second episode travels to space to save his buddy Oliver Queen.

Thin Young Amanda Waller still kicks rear end because she's still Amanda Goddamn Waller, but the DCAU-and-associated-productions/pre-New 52 version manages to be infinitely more incredible for being a huge, not-conventionally-attractive black woman and still managing to go toe-to-toe with goddamn Batman in terms of raw intellect, force of personality, and control, all while being totally unashamed of her appearance. Making Waller a conventionally-attractive woman isn't some Great Crime, but it's a missed opportunity.

Given Oliver's tends to straight up kill people (I think his death count this season is 6) he is a way better fit for the League of Assassins then Batman ever was even though Ras is a Batman villain.
