Elizabeth "Betty" Bates was created by Bob Powell in the 1940s for Hit Comics #4, one of the leading Quality Comics publications. For over a decade, Bates would appear as a controversial defense lawyer. She broke many rules and went all out to find justice for her clients. She even got violent in the courtroom with criminals to send a message.

DC bought out the publisher in the 1950s. Since then, Elizabeth hasn't been given any role. Creature Commandos reinterprets Elizabeth's story. She isn't fighting any political or feminist cases here. Instead, she is seen as the human rights lawyer who wants to take care of Weasel. She has been checking in on him since the school fire where it was said he -- as a John Doe -- killed very young children.
Flashbacks of Weasel's origin showed that he was their friend, and that he tried to save them. He can't talk, so Elizabeth doesn't know the truth. But she has faith that such a kind, gentle soul isn't a monster. He may look like one, but he's human in her eyes. She chides Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. for using him as a weapon during his incarceration.
He doesn't understand Elizabeth's compassion and empathy towards Weasel. With Weasel being sent back on another mission to Pokolistan, fans can expect Elizabeth to dig into the case more, her client's innocence, and how Amanda Waller is abusing her power. It's quite soothing hearing Cardellini's warm voice as Elizabeth stands up for Weasel's civil rights. To top it off, she has collaborated with Gunn before on Super, Scooby-Doo and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

In the comics, Isla MacPherson was a history teacher in Gotham. She was created in 2014 by Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan and Karl Kerschl. She worked at Gotham Academy, educating students about families like the Waynes and Cobblepots. Her role is reinterpreted in Creature Commandos. In the animated series, her name is Aisla MacPherson, an expert on history and culture, namely Themyscira. Waller brings her in to discuss the visions Circe has been having about the end of days.
Aisla backs up Circe's precognition, stating it's not fake. She also educates the team on Paradise Island, a tsunami that supposedly sent them into hiding, and affirms the Amazons are real. Her words get Waller to trust what Circe has seen. Waller glimpses the apocalypse as well. While Rick and John Economos are cynical, Waller feels validated that it's legit, and it's all due to Aisla vouching for Circe.

Beatriz brings sass and confidence to the role, as seen when she played Detective Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. With Circe still in custody, fans can expect more conversations with Aisla. Ultimately, DC Studios has the Paradise Lost prequel series in the works, so Aisla may well have more information to disburse on Princess Diana being Wonder Woman.
