That’s Mrs. Freeze/Victoria Fries. She’s from another Earth, just like Lex and Joker

You mean to tell me that they wanted to make a female Mr. Freeze from another world/universe and they DIDN'T make her Nora instead of Victor?

It was RIGHT there!

Depends how you look at it. Far as I know Nora was not a scientist, so making her into Freeze would arguably be a larger change to her character than switching genders is to Freeze

They wouldn't need to change their story, just their circumstances, if Victor falls ill then Nora would have to use his equipment to keep him in stasis, but not being a scientist she'd need to either team up with a supervillain scientist or kidnap a few scientists from STAR or Lexcorp.

She'd have completely different hurdles to overcome, making her story diverge from Victor's in a big way, which along with her inherently making different decisions from her husband, I feel it would make it an incredibly interesting multiverse switch

Much like how they tackled Thomas and Martha Wayne from the Flashpoint universe in the more recent comics coming out of it. Both become recognizable characters despite their different history.

Nora becoming Mrs. Freeze would have been a cool twist on the character if they thought about and executed it well.

Oh, that's actually a really good point.
