Barbie as Poison Ivy

Well Barbie can be a superhero or a supervillain.
Here she is as the most famous Eco-terrorist in the world, Poison Ivy.
Though she was originally created to look similar to Bettie Page, Ivy's look changed over the years.
Now she is one of Batman's archenemies and Harley Quinn's "Pal".

Zatanna - Smallville

Although she is not a hugely popular comic book character, Zatanna Zatara is hugely popular with the fans. Everybody loves her. She was created by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson and first showed up in Hawkman #4 way back in 1964. Zatanna fought crime in a classic magician's outfit (top hat, tails etc) and spoke words backwards to create magic spells. Yeah I know, original but really....what?

Zatanna was brought to picture perfect life on the CW TV series "Smallville" played by Canadian actress Serinda Swan. She seriously looked like she just stepped out of the comic book. Which was kinda odd for Smallville and their sometimes very broad interpretations of DC characters.

She first appeared in season eight, in the episode titled "Hex", then appeared in season nine in the episode "Warrior". In season ten in "Warrior" Zatanna is in the background but is played by a stand in dressed in her outfit.

They tried to launch a standalone Zatanna movie back in 2005 as an action comedy, but nothing ever came of it.

Now here is Zatanna's possibly very cool future..... Guillermo del Toro is working on a Justice League Dark film titled "Dark Universe". Since John Constantine is a member of JLD and has his own series coming up on NBC, del Toro has said that the film will exist in the same universe as the TV show, and that he might get the actor from the series to play Constantine in the movie, unlike the main DC Universe that wont be doing such cross-overs. Now...Zatanna is already set to appear in the film...so will we get Zatanna showing up on the Constantine TV series as well since the two were an item in the comics? It could happen...

Barbie as Wonder Woman

Here we have Wonder Woman Barbie.
She’s been around since 194, ALMOST beating Captain America (Cap’s debut only beat her by around nine months) and along with Superman and Batman, she is one of DC Comic’s Trinity.
The Amazon Princess is very popular and they have been trying to get a live action movie going for years.
Now that Gal Gadot is gonna be the Amazon Princess, we may be closer than ever to actually getting that done.

Barbie Batgirl DC Superheroes Collector Barbie Doll

Barbie also shows up as the female counterpart of the Dark Knight, Batgirl.
Although she never really rose to the level of Batman, like Supergirl, she has her own very loyal fan base.
Unlike Wonder Woman and Supergirl, Batgirl was created in 1966 and was a collaboration between DC and the Batman television series that was going on at the time.

Supergirl Barbie

The Man of Steel’s cousin, Supergirl.
Kara Zor-El was created in 1959, and although she never achieved the fame of Superman, the Maid of Might has her own rabid following, and her own Barbie.
As much as I love the Barbie Wonder Woman figure, I like this one just as much.
Doesn’t she look just a little cocky?
But just why shouldn’t she be?
All the powers of Superman, plus….she's hot!
