Doumit’s portrayal of Victoria Neuman became an instant favorite for the audience because of her compelling duality. When she was first featured in the 2nd season, Neuman appeared to be a dedicated Congresswoman with an intense passion for reforming society.

A fan (@_TheRealRobin_) took to social media to share how they would love to see the Timeless actress in the role of Talia al Ghul in James Gunn’s DC Universe. The DC fans quickly assembled as they all agreed with the fan casting and would love to see her playing the role of Talia al Ghul.
Indeed, Claudia Doumit is a great actress, who can bring out the character complexities of Talia al Ghul effortlessly. To make matters, even better everyone approves of the fan casting, but it would be a terrible idea because Christopher Nolan had tried and was criticized for it in his The Dark Knight Trilogy.
James Gunn Should Not Be Tempted To Cast Claudia Doumit as Talia al Ghul in His DCU
Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight Trilogy, directed by Christopher Nolan, is considered to be one of the greatest superhero trilogies ever made. However, some ardent fans of the franchise have pointed out how the Oppenheimer director has whitewashed the characters in the Batman universe.

Talia al Ghul makes her on-screen debut in The Dark Knight Rises, she is the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul, portrayed by the white French actress Marion Cotillard. Though the portrayal of the character was flawless, the problem here is that in the comics, she appears to be someone from the Middle East.
Moreover, James Gunn should not repeat the same mistake as Nolan, despite Claudia Doumit being an outstanding actress, her country of origin is Australia. Furthermore, getting criticized by the fans would be the last thing Gunn would want in his rebooted DCU.
The Dark Knight Rises can be streamed on Max.
