If Barbara is low 20's I wonder how Naomi Scott(Pink Ranger in the 2017 movie) would look with red hair.

Didn't expect Suicide Squad to have such competition so early in the DCEU.
That's why people said Emma Stone bro.

Hopefully Snyder sticks around to rein in Whedon's sillier tendencies. Also, someone get him a competent DP.

... Not a bad idea.
I haven't had a chance to see the new PR movie yet, but I hear she and the other actors do a good job performance wise, right?

I'm not a fan of it, but I don't think anyone's surprised. Batman is WB / DC's bread and butter. If Justice League fails then they'll just rely on him and his supporting cast for a while.
A savage, savage turn of events. But the fact that this has come together in just the last month is the most interesting thing.
WB already had a writer working on a Birds Of Prey script so has that been paused with this potentially leading up to it?
As I said before I'd heard Warners were going full steam ahead on a Teen Titans feature and then suddenly there's a Nightwing film in the offing.
So maybe they now want to build up to these ensembles Marvel style or they want to have a Batman cinematic universe within the DCU itself.
Talk about a fast moving situation. Fascinating stuff.

honestly feel like WB/DC should have paid him whatever he wanted to helm their Harley standalone... could'a been uuuuge.
keep him faaaaaaar away from this. Holy crap.

What I find most fascinating is how Whedon will adapt a Batgirl film within the confines of the current DCEU. Does the bleak cynicism that seems to inform the fabric of the films thus far bleed into his work or does he introduce a rock of open positivity that stands against that seemingly unrelenting current? Does the world depicted stand in such stark contrast that it inadvertantly contradicts previous films conception of society?
So yeah, put me down as someone interested to see if this film ripples through the DCEU or if sinks into their grim house style.

They need to increase security to protect the all aspects of the production from Snyder.

Subete no aware
This almost feels full circle, going from doing a Wonder Woman movie to the Avengers stuff and now Batgirl. lol
It can be any movie they want. Look at WW doesn't look anything like SS or BvS. These solo adventures can be their own thing.
How can one poster always be so right.
It will be full Killing Joke Barbs. Zack Snyder presents, Joss Whedon's Batgirl. A side of him you never knew existed.

Hard time believing it's not gonna be this Batgirl
Or at least inspired by this Batgirl.
Doubt it
That on screen in the same universe as
and
Unless this is basically an origin and that is the prototype suit.
Joss Whedon wrote the foreword to Identity Crisis, so we already know he's very much into the grim & cynical stuff. He'll just throw in some jokes.
Joss Whedon said:
DCEU might actually be a better fit for him than the MCU.
Wonder Woman has the benefit of being set during WW1. There is no overlap there.

Obviously Joss is being forced to do this so they'll fund the long awaited Serenity sequel
let it die
Stop torturing yourself, he'll never afford it! Live in the now!

I love Batgirl. This is indeed WHAT worthy. Please don't die in pre-production
My Josh has gotten a lot of shit lately cus of Ultron, which I like almost as much as the first, so I'm all for this.
Since this is a Wedon film, and Batgirl has been written super lighthearted, this feels like the first movie in the DCU that would have to be extremely different than the rest.

I could see WB wanting to bring in a J-Law or Emma Stone for this. Whoever the biggest actress in the world is at the time is surely in their crosshairs.
It could be a newcomer in the titular role but I have a feeling that Warners going full on 'go big or go home' mode for this.
It's a film.

I prefer the expensive tv show look thank you
Can Emma Stone still play a high schooler? Hasn't she moved a bit past that now?

Yes the cast was so good it legitimately made the movie, i'd even say its great completely based on the cast.
I'd like to see every one of them getting decent roles.
Naomi Scott is part Indian.

WB is proud to announce that they have cast Margot Robbie in the key role of Barbara Gord-*is handed multiple cards from offstage*
what's that? *mumbling* ...I said the wrong white girl?!

It's gonna be the other way around too no doubt. A bunch of whedon/avengers fans all of a sudden shitting on this because of the logo in the opening.
I'm of two minds about this. Fucking awesome that DC is going forward with batgirl. They seem to be leading the charge with women comic characters in a big way on film right now.
But Joss Whedon...scust. I guess he's a good fit for this after Buffy but maaaan I hope he's reined in a bit.
yes. Whedon has had a very competent DP before though and he still fucked it up. WB aint gonna play that shit though.
You can be born after Firefly was cancelled and still meet the minimum TOS age for a GAF account.
