Joss Whedon (Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron) will write and direct a live-action BATGIRL for Warner Bros and the DCEU. http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/u...mic-cover.jpeg |
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Joss Whedon (Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) |
Not confirmed yet, but could be a major coup for the DC movies
|
DC giving themselves the challenge of sucking the fun and enjoyment out of even someone as brilliant as Joss.
|
Seems like overkill to me. DC doesn't exactly have plans they just keep announcing movies. Don't see her being that big of a character to have her own movie either. Just throw her in Gotham Sirens.
|
Batgirl is a draw. She's a notable and recognizable figure in pop culture. I'd bet more so than the lot of D.C. characters.
This is only great news. First Matt Reeves and his apes producer sign on to like rewrite and recreate the Batman, and Whedon to do the same for Batgirl. Can'tl say I'm not excited about everything post Wonder Woman for the D.C. universe. |
Really? She's not even top 3 of DC female characters though. Her connection to Batman is about the only thing recognizable about her. She's like a sidekicks sidekick, just don't think she's on Wonder Womans level of popularity to have her own movie.
|
Holy shit, YAS.
|
DCEU needed this really really badly. Whedon is now their last hope after The Batman.

Batgirl is more well-known than you think. Most people know her from the 60s tv show, The Killing Joke or one of the animated shows, but they know she exists just as much as they did The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, etc. Depending on which Batgirl they go with (I'm assuming Barbara Gordon, though there's been a few others Batgirls) they all have very distinct personalities (Barbara and Stephanie are more "Fun", Cassandra is more "Serious Business") |

Black Canary? Lol wut

Batgirl/Barbara Gordon was also one of the main characters in the Lego Batman movie, which did really well.

BatWoman could carry her own movie too. She is also a 'cool' character.

Maybe to comic fans she's a C list character. But that's not who these movies are marketed to. She's known in the mainstream community as much as Wonder Woman and arguably more than Supergirl before the latter got her own tv show.
Batgirl has been featured in the 60s show, both renditions of the animated series, Young Justice, and the recent D.C. super hero girls show that's got merch plastered all over toy sections. Not to mention, batgirl is also a just as much if not more featured costume for little girls come Halloween time than Wonder Woman or any other female character. I think you're ( Simple Fan) underestimating her popularity and relevance in the mainstream and instead are just going on personal feelings. |

You basically just implied that being female is a gimmick. Strong case for exactly why Batgirl is needed.

False dilema fallacy. New IPs are well and good and welcomed but these characters exist and have a fanbase depsite their humble begingings.
|
The creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the author of girl power of the late 90s, can craft a story that little girls will absolutely be interested in seeing, its a great thing.
|
Ironman was b-list dammit.
|
Hulk, X-men, Spider-Man, Captain America, Daredevil and Punisher were A list.
Ironman, Thor, Dr. Strange, Blade, and Ghost Rider were strong B material. |

Hulk was probably A List because of his TV series
When Marvel/DC had crossovers years ago they did Superman vs Spider-Man and then Batman vs The Hulk |
Both of those match-ups are really stupid. Superman/The Hulk a way more even fight but if even then if they did Spider-Man/Batman that would not have been a good match either since Spidey is way more powerful than Bats.

Joss Whedon dropped the Big Legdrop on Stan Lee.
Joss Whedon has betrayed the MCU! |

a movie. I hope it does well if it even gets made but I just don't see it at the moment. Just feels forced to me and DC has many more deserving characters that could use their own movie. |
"There was a bad superhero movie with a female lead so this will be bad too"

Never mind the director/writer was completely untested, the character wasnt even selena kyle it starred a woman and was bad so its totally a fair comparison
