Looks like this is the actress: https://twitter.com/linzzmorgan

I've never heard of her though.

I doubt it. She's dope in the 100 though.

 

[aly]

Probably gonna be post paralyzed since it's a Batgirl not Oracle movie.

So basically Stephanie with red hair.

Makes me mad they won't just use Stephanie and instead just made Babs more immature.

 

[bigboss370]

Let's bring back Alicia Silverstone.

wait, her costume had the nipples too!?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Holland Roden would be great imo.

Holy shit yes.
She can scream

She can fight

And be attractive

DC get on that shit right NOW

 

[Maintenance]

Lmao at all the DCEU fanboys shitting on Whedon for ages welcoming this

Yep, like clockwork.

 

[Discotheque]

Yep, like clockwork.

It was one poster. Lol get over yourselves

 

[BronsonLee]

It was one poster. Lol get over yourselves

No fight me Disco

 

[Theorry]

Holy shit yes.

And be attractive


DC get on that shit right NOW

They can send me a check for doing their work.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Sweet!

Batwoman would have been even better though

 

[Veidt]

Batgirl year one is one of my favourite comics. I hope he captures the campiness and how awesome she is!

 

[quickwhips]

Should have gave him justice league.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

This is fucking perfect!

 

[Theorry]

Probably posted already. But maybe not.

According to EW, Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon, will be Batgirl in Joss Whedon’s movie. It’ll be based on the New 52 version of the character.

In The New 52 version of “Batgirl”, which was launched in 2011 by writer Gail Simone, Barbara Gordon has recovered from the paralyzing attack she suffered from The Joker in “The Killing Joke”, thanks to experimental surgery. She’s back to her old, crimefighting self, though she’s still haunted by the memory of the Joker.

EW says that the movie will “follow Simone’s harder-edged storyline rather than the more comical, playful “Batgirl of Burnside” series that was rebooted in 2014, featuring the hero as a social-media obsessed student living in a hipster neighborhood of Gotham.”

Whedon is the perfect pick to channel a mix of Year One and Burnside Babs. I'm really looking forward to this.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Most importantly: will we get JJ's Gordon?

 

[Discotheque]

No fight me Disco

You saw how quickly ward knocked out donnie. I'll take your car keys too

 

[paragonpro]

Cool! This is great news. Itd be funnny if this got off the ground quicker than the new solo batman movie

 

[Shaanyboi]

Holy shit yes.
She can scream

She can fight

And be attractive


DC get on that shit right NOW

So is there any reason I should believe that's her and not a stunt double?

 

[TaterTots]

Ever since I read Whedon's run on the Astonishing X-Men I learned to trust him with comic book characters. I enjoyed both Avengers films. I'll give this a go if it happens as well.

 

[The Kree]

Should have gave him justice league.

Well... yeah, I guess you're right.

 

[quickwhips]

Well... yeah, I guess you're right.

He is great with groups look at buffy and avengers. Im sure Batgirl will be fun. If it was a bat family movie I would like that also.

 

[BronsonLee]

You saw how quickly ward knocked out donnie. I'll take your car keys too

Wait hold on now
I need that car :'(

 

[Messofanego]

Sweet!

Batwoman would have been even better though

 

[LionPride]

Not a Whedon guy, at all.

Hope it's aight.

 

[Angelus Errare]

It's one of the many dumb decisions DC makes that perplexes me.

 

[LegendX48]

If it's Barbara Gordon Batgirl, I'm down. I just hope they don't use the purple and yellow leather suit, the black and yellow/gold is superior, like, objectively

Probably posted already. But maybe not.

I like the sound of this.

 

[Calm Mind]

WHO ASKED FOR THIS? SHOW YOURSELVES!

 

[Gleethor]

Meanwhile that 2018 Flash movie still without a director.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Sweet!

Batwoman would have been even better though

One of the best things to ever come from New 52. Batwoman was just amazing from the writing to the art, the art was just hfehwaiohuifsadfknfhnnnnnngghh! The paneling! was just fucking amazing as shit.

 

[Forsaken82]

This is Geoff Johns' influence on the DCEU.

I personally am willing to continue seeing this movies so long as he's involved (and assuming Wonder Woman and the films tend to be of higher quality than pre-Geoff Johns involvement films.

 

[Sesha]

Babs should be Oracle. Oh well, whatever. I'll watch it in the hope this increases the chances of a Cassandra Cain movie, regardless of what moniker she uses.

Cue 20 posts quoting this and replying with "who?" or mocking laughter.

 

[TheSeks]

DC does what Disney-Marvel don't?

Could he be the one to save the DCCU!?

I would totally dog a Cassandra Cain movie. Knowing how these things play out though they would just cast a white person.

Bat____=priority, homie.

 

[kswiston]

Bat____=priority, homie.

First look at the Green Lantern reboot!

 

[marrec]

As a huge fan of the Flash I really hope that movie just dies and is never released.

 

[Ross61]

I'm in!

 

[Team Filler]

Man, didn't see that one coming.

I'm not really a big fan of Whedon's writing (Firefly being the big exception), but this seems like a great fit overall for the guy that created Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think the Whedon style being tempered a bit by the more grim tones we've seen with the DCEU will actually work really well here (as opposed to it being snark & jokes overload like it was in the Avengers flicks).

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I've never heard of batgirl.

I'd rather they get Batman right first before going down this road.

 

[TwoDurans]

Is this his way of getting back into the MCU? Cozy up to their competition to try and get them to let him back in?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Lmao at all the DCEU fanboys shitting on Whedon for ages welcoming this

Wait until Snyder is chosen to direct Thor the Dark World 2: The Dark Thor World. All those Marvel kids will be hooting his horn.

 

[VanWinkle]

It's insane to me that you've never heard of Batgirl. Like, literally INSANE. Unless you're joking.

No fight me Disco

Don't do it Disco, Bronson is crazy!

 

[MHWilliams]

WB is moving quickly on these films: The Batman, Nightwing, Gotham City Sirens, Batgirl, Suicide Squad 2, and Green Lantern.

Guess they have a strong focus.

Don't forget Shazam! JLD/Dark Universe would also be on that list but it looks like Liman might be booked up for a minute.

Truth be told, I feel like part of getting Batman right is making sure to include the Bat-family, so this doesn't have me concerned about The Batman.

 

[jelly]

If WB let him be free I'm interested.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Genuinely never heard of her. No jokes.

First I'm hearing of a bat family too.

Also have no idea who nightwing is, unless I'm missing the obvious and it's just Robin

 

[LosDaddie]

Sweet.

Whedon did a great job on both Avengers movies. I'll watch this.

Nightwing is Dick Grayson (first Robin) once he stops being Batman's sidekick.
