Despite appearing on Teen Wolf for three seasons as werewolf hunter Allison Argent, Crystal Reed hasn’t worked that much since her character sacrificed herself to the cause in season 3. It was a tough blow for Teen Wolf fans everywhere, and the show has never been the same.
Reed brought a lot of charisma and excitement to a show that kept her in the shadow of Scott McCall, even though she was a much better hunter and problem solver. She even demonstrated a lot of detective skills, and it didn’t feel cheap, thanks to Crystal Reed’s performance.
And you know who else has detective skills? Batgirl does.
Sometimes I take issue with actresses playing someone who is canonically more than a decade younger than they are, but does Crystal Reed look a day over 24 or so? Are there younger people out there who would love to take this role? Probably. But Crystal Reed’s a heart breaker. She brings it in every single scene. Her demeanor is unsuspecting and disarming, but also, it seems like she could break your arm. That’s the perfect combination.
Plus, she looks like the perfect foil to Ben Affleck’s unshaven and gruff Batman.
