    Well, we've already seen her on-set, may as well just confirm it .

    Holy crap. This sounds like it was written by an angsty 15 year old.

They're going with a Burnside outfit for a reason. While this will be in Gotham and requisitely "dark", I doubt she'll be overly broody and they'll play up her fun and intelligence/tech skill. She's the Dominoed Daredoll and hopefully she enjoys a couple of media projects as Batgirl before the inevitable...
    I did say that any Killing Joke adaptation should come much further down the line.

    But as to your other point, the difference between Barbara becoming paralyzed in TKJ and Bruce getting his back broken in Knightfall is that Barbara lived with her disability for years, in both comic book time and in real time. Bruce was out of commission for only a few months, whereas Barbara was paralyzed and serving as Oracle for literally over 20 years of real time. In that time, she was able to become an icon for the handicapped community, unlike Bruce.

    Again, I did say that if TKJ is adapted, it should come much later down the line. The biggest issue with BvS was that they pulled the "kill Superman" trigger way too early. They should have let him build up his image as Superman, a hero that everyone loves, before killing him off. I mean, that's what made the Death of Superman arc in the comics so powerful: that it was the loss of an icon who everyone loved.

    So, if they do adapt TKJ, it should come after Barbara is well established as Batgirl, because that is what would make it much more tragic.

    Why would she need to be Oracle when we have Bruce Wayne in the cave working behind the scenes providing support…..

    Well, as my last comment hinted at, we need to see how the first Batgirl movie is received before we think about replacing her at any point. Having said that, I think Babs becoming Oracle would follow more like Batman Beyond (an old Barbara confined to a wheelchair due to a stroke, i.e.) than what we saw in the comics.
    A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

    Didn't Ayer say that everything good in the Suicide Squad script is his and everything bad was mandated by DC/WB? Or did that only apply to Snyder and BvS?

    As far as I know Snyder and Terrio’s defense of BVS was that the studio cut out a lot of the vital connective tissue that made things hang together better. Now that’s still debatable (“Martha! Save Martha!”, Superman’s characterization problems and literally all of the stuff with Luthor are still there), but it doesn’t sound like they blamed studio rewrites for the movie’s reception. Suicide Squad and Justice League were where the studio rewrites were blamed. But, the released script pages from Ayer’s draft and everything he’s written or directed since then leads me to believe SS had problems beyond the studio meddling.

    I have HBO Max now and I like it a lot. I noticed a lot of DC movies are leaving next month probably to cable for a few months. Will probably finally watch Shazam before that happens. HBO is the cream of this platform though. It's pretty much single handedly carrying it along with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Hopefully there's more DC content coming in the future as 'Max Originals' I assume
