They could do a lot worse than emulating the Gail Simone New 52 run. It got a little dark at times, but there was a great revised origin sequence that would be fun to see in a film.

^ This. It would be awesome if they pulled from that run.

I have the comic and I love it.

This might be the best movie in the making yet.

Just curious, who are the bad guys that Batgirl usually faces in her comic? They don't usually have her go against the main Batman villains, do they? I wonder who they would use in a movie. I could see them throwing Harley in the movie...just because.

She hasn't really had any good villains in the New 52 or Burnside... there's always her brother James Jr, but I hate that storyline. Ugh. Gordon's son turns out to be a sociopathic serial killer. Stupid.

The shortlist of actresses who are up for the role has apparently surfaced.

Quote:

Elle Fanning (Neon Demon/Live By Night)
Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel)
Bella Throne (Shake It Up!)
Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why)
Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers)
Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe)
Emma Roberts (Scream Queens)
Haley Lu Richardson (Split/Edge Of Seventeen)
Naomi Scott (Power Rangers)

As I stated in another thread I'm hoping to see Elle Fanning in a superhero film some point. She was up for the role of Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse. However, Famke Janssen was worried that neither Fanning or Hailee Steinfeld, who was also up for the role, didn't look like a younger version of her. I do respect her views because I was very fortunate to have met her at a small film festival back in 2012.

Looks like Whedon will not be directing Batgirl. Rumor for now

*ProphetofGanja* · 11-22-2017, 04:49 PM

I read that this rumor was already discredited

Yeah, and Shia LaBeof is gonna costar as James Gordon Jr. You heard it here first, folks!

~~Sumac~~ · 01-07-2018, 10:13 AM

If those two will play in the movie - it will be awful, but would serve as a source of meme for the rest of the time.

Yeah, that's not the way casting works.

*Krutch* · 01-07-2018, 12:41 PM

If it were 2004, I'd legit be okay with casting Lindsay. She was a capable dramatic actress, she just went insane. It happens.

*sdp* · 01-07-2018, 12:43 PM

I think she'd be a good Barbara, but I'm guessing this will be an origin story? In that case we do need someone younger.

I'm not interested in any movies set in the DCEU, just let it die. Give me the animated movie of Batgirl Year One that was cancelled instead of this.

What is New52's story of Barbara anyway? I thought she had only regained her movement in her legs which I was happy for since the comics had always teased her recovering her abilities for many years.

*Autbot_Benz* · 01-07-2018, 12:47 PM

If any known actress is gonna be Batgirl Id want Emma Stone

Yes, thousand times yes!

As for New 52, she was said to have taken 3 years to recover form being shot from the Joker.

*sdp* · 01-07-2018, 01:00 PM

Emma Stone is too old now, if they're going for her then I'd prefer Lindsay honestly, I can see her getting fit for the role while Emma I can't see her looking intimidating.

Also, Whedon doing this is not a great thing for me, out of all the Whedon stuff I've watched the only thing I've loved is Firefly, the rest ranges from "ok" to "bad", even the movie of FireFly was horrible.

A bit annoying but could be worse, the problem here is sliding timelines and all characters having to be the same age even though others age. I wouldn't fault the New52 on this, it was going to be a problem eventually even if it hadn't happened.
