KC Walsh, who seems to have some credibility, tweeted recently that the Batgirl movie is ‘very much on the docket still’.
We’ll see.
Now that preproduction has started on ‘The Batman’ I have a feeling that Barbara may be pushed aside again.
The best hope may be with ‘Birds of Prey’ (which Barbara, ironically, was cut out of because the studio wanted Batgirl to debut in her own film). If ‘Birds’ is successful, that means ‘Batgirl’ screenwriter Christina Hodson will be on a real hot streak, following the positive reception for her ‘Bumblebee’ script. Maybe that will increase the urgency to make ‘Batgirl’.
Warners would certainly like to get more female superheroes on screen after the success of WonderWoman- my feeling is that the recent buzz around a Supergirl movie is because Batgirl has been stalled to keep the primary Batuniverse focus on the Reeves Batman. Hope that’s not the case.
