Negotiator Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Hopefully it's a good choice. Can't wait to find out who they pick for batgirl. Will this be filled with quips? Quote
seti88 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 cant wait for the whedon treatment on this...nice! Quote

I don't know how to feel about this, WW and Justice League could both be terrible, this seems like putting the cart in front of the horse yet again. Maybe figure out your already questionable and not entirely stable films before announcing others. I mean, is Flash even coming out next year? Does that movie even have a director anymore? Whedon is nice, not nice enough for me to drop my skeptics, all of these live action DC films have been crap shows and I'm just not seeing any reason to get optimistic or excited just yet. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Funny. It's kind of like déja vu. Bryan Singer made hit with X-Men. Warner snatch Singer to do Superman Returns. Joss Whedon made a global hit on Avengers (another Marvel franchise). And now here's Warner again snatching someone from the other camp to do something for them. Hopefully Whedon will pull this off compared to Singer. Quote
Sandman Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Could be good. Batgirl definitely deserves to have a movie. Personally i'm more interested in a Batwoman movie. I think it could be very stylish if they based it on JH William's artwork for the series. Quote
Big s Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 It may be good. Most of the info says it has nothing to do with the D.C. film franchise, but it feels weird having all these films coming out that don't tie together. Quote

I'd still like to see it, but I'd be disappointed if Ben Affleck or JK Simmons didn't have a role or cameo. It'd be like a film in a 'bubble...' Quote
Big s Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 It's kind like how Sony is doing Venom seperate from Spider-Man. That one is an odd choice too. Quote

Old_Nash Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Update this topic. We have a new director, and now first pic of Batgirl's costume https://www.cbr.com/batgirl-movie-costume-reveal-leslie-grace/ Quote

Seto Kaiba Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 ... I have a bad feeling about this. That the comic book quote about "using their expectations against them" in the Instagram post feels like the very worst kind of tempting fate for an already failure-prone franchise. The choice of replacement director feels less like tempting fate and more like actively courting failure. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah don't have much of a filmography, and what they do have in that regard is pretty underwhelming outside of Bad Boys for Life. The costume... eh... I don't do superhero comics as a rule so I don't know about how authentic to the comic it might be, but is it supposed to look like someone took an off-the-shelf women's leather motorcycle suit and hastily painted it purple? (Given that Keaton's set to play Batman again, we should probably just be thankful Schumacher-era bat-nipples are a thing of the past.) Quote
Big s Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 It was kinda odd that Batman and Robin had nipple suits, but not batgirl Quote
Bolt Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Been hearing Keaton was going to reprise his role. Optimistic to see it's confirmed. Many fans are stoked to see an authentic Batgirl costume coming. Hopefully the movie will be a pleasant surprise . Quote

Yeah, actually. The suit they're using in the movie looks like it's got a bit more padding in the jacket and dark gloves instead of yellow, but it's fairly accurate on the whole. I have no idea who Leslie Grace is. Doesn't seem like she's been in much of anything before Batgirl. I'd be real hesitant to see this in the theater, but I'm already paying for HBO Max so I've got nothing to lose but time. Quote
azrael Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 This is the costume they are basing the movie suit on (from 2014). Quote

Thom Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 I like the costume, and psyched if Keaton comes back as the Bat. Unsure however about Leslie Grace. Never heard of her before, and from what I've seen so far, she doesn't really have the look of Batgirl. Batwoman maybe, but I don't get a young, brash vibe that one would expect when using that suit as the basis for the movie version. This should be a teenager, not an almost thirty year old. But, I will give it the benefit and see what they do. Would love to see more super heroines on the screen. Just do better than the CW Batwoman... Quote

Roy Focker Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Costume looks more flexible compared to 89 version. Quote

sh9000 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Posted February 17, 2022 Gordon will have a bigger role. https://screenrant.com/batgirl-movies-jim-gordon-has-bigger-role-than-in-justice-league-movie Quote
Thom Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Apparently it didn't make 'the cut' with Warner Bro as not big enough of a 'tent pole' to support a franchise. That and apparently lackluster screenings and a few reshoots that failed to fix whatever they saw was wrong. Not saying I'm gut-punched about it, as I was disappointed they didn't keep the character as a teen, as in the comics, and instead went with putting the character in her thirties. The big loss though, is not seeing Keaton as Bruce/Batman again! Dang blam-it! At least he'll still be showing up in the Flash movie. Right...? Oh well, here's to hoping the concept can be revamped at some point into a series with an 'age appropriate' character. https://thedirect.com/article/warner-bros-batgirl-movie-cancelled Edited August 2, 2022 by Thom Quote
