He's DC's Uvo..
The caped crusader is dead. Bury it. Wait that's Batman not Super man. Dammit.
The S-Shield is dead? The hair curl? Whatever.
If it were throwing shit at the wall that's popular we wouldn't be getting a potential Batgirl film.

Kind of misses the point then doesn't it?
I can see his complaint within the context of comic book continuity. I didn't read the new series (or anything from DC these past 3 years or so), but Batgirl wasn't college aged at the start of the New 52 stuff, and she definitely wasn't prior to that.
That said, this is a completely new character take, so I don't think any of that applies.

As I said in the other thread, this is a great choice. I want a Batgirl movie I can take my girls to. I figure they will be 11 and 7 when this comes out in a couple of years They can easily handle a light PG-13, even now.
I trust Joss not to pull any The Killing Joke style fuckery with Batgirl.

Just Ike Perlmutter and his execs really. That guy is menace to that company!
Anyways, probably the first piece of DCEU news that has me feeling optimistic, but first gotta be impressed with Wonder Woman.

I like both Marvel and DC comics but I can't help but feel some degree of... well, I wouldn't say schadenfreude. You know what I mean, though. The hypocrisy from the DC movie fans is gonna be amazing.
Batgirl sounding like an angsty teenage girl is character appropriate tho.

This is the DCEU movie I'm the most excited about and I don't even care about Batgirl. Maybe WB will let him give his input on scripts, like Marvel did.
It also acts as a bit of competition with Marvel's Spider-Man high school material, right?

I meant that in the sense that anything associated with Batman right now is a safer bet than Cyborg or even Green Lantern. That's why we're getting Batgirl, Gotham City Sirens, Nightwing and hell, there's probably a Birds of Prey movie about to be greenlit.

Is there any evidence that J.K. would be involved with this?

Emily Blunt would be more appropriate to play Batwoman. But in today's political climate would WB release a movie about a lesbian superhero?

Chloe Grace Moretz as Batgirl anyone?
It's in the DC Extended Universe, he's Jim Gordon in the DCEU, so he can't not be in this.
Unless we're pretending there's a Batgirl who matters outside of Barbara Gordon.
Definitely.
One of the reasons I'm excited for Homecoming is we get a ground-level, civilian perspective of movie MCU.
We could get something like that for Gotham with a high-school hero.

Maybe The Batman before the events that made him the Batman in BVS inspired her.
GLC script is fill in writing. If it was finished, WB would surely be fast tracking it for next year. Justin Kroll said that much.
And anecdotal, but the entire reason we're getting a GCS film is because Robbie pushed for it and got an entire female writer and chose Ayer. Also likely influenced her deal with WB.

Whedon will use this as a star vehicle for Ashley Johnson instead.

Emma Stone? Emma Stone.
She might be a bit too old if they're going with college age Batgirl but on the plus side, she can play both Barbara and Cassandra. She looks exactly like them.

Kinda interesting. Sure they'll find a way to fuck it up.
Possibly, though considering Robin I wonder if Babs is going to be a character that's already been around for a while.
There's also the possibility that they'll go for a legacy Batgirl like Stephanie and while it may be interesting to see Barbara as a veteran just like Bruce, I doubt it will happen unless someone high up has a thing for Oracle.
Lot of story potential here is what I'm getting at.
Nah.
Barb for Barb.
Shannon Purser, Stranger Things.
Cursed to play Barb for all time lol

She was campaigning for Squirrel Girl shortly after the show dropped on Netflix.
This would be a step up, I think.

Yessir. Batfamily movies will be their crossover events ala Avengers and Justice League (Bruce Dick Babs and maybe Tim vs Court of Owls)? Oh, and they gotta do Red Hood too.
Hard time believing it's not gonna be this Batgirl
Or at least inspired by this Batgirl.
I also think so. I also love that design.
This is also true.

Going right for the actresses with red hair, huh? Typical fancasting.
