    In a general sense even if they don't appear in Barbara's movies. Although maybe they could, who knows .
    Wasn't he downgraded as a threat after Batgirl defeated him?
    I don't think it was Batgirl specifically but more how goofy people viewed him.

    Killer Moth is kind of a goofy name but I heard it was because she easily beat him on her earliest mission. I haven't read that comic so I can't be sure

    If anything you could use both Killer Moth and Firefly. Killer moth is the main baddie while Firefly is his henchman.

    Thematically that works.

    Turn on the Batsignal, they both get drawn to the light and then you capture them in a giant net...roll credits.

    Lol.

    Honestly I never saw Firefly as a Big bad type. He works better as a minor threat or subordinate to someone else. I'm not sure Killer Moth is the right choice.

    Does Batgirl need a big bad in her first movie, though?

    Yes. Someone needs to drive the plot of this movie.

    I mean, yeah? At least a central crime figure for her to take out in the end to show she's made it in her origin story.

    I mean, does she need some massive villain affecting the plot or somebody smaller? Does the villain need to drive the plot in the first place?

    Most superhero films are just action movies with a double life subplot. Or they add another genre to spice things up..

    Action movies are reactive so there some kind of antagonist driving the plot. It doesn't need to be a big conspiracy but those help. "Big Bad" is just geek slang for main villian. I never felt Firefly was that compelling on his own so he'd be better off as part of a set.

    There's nothing wrong with trying to change things up. I don't think they need to add another genre, though. I'd like to see a superhero movie be more proactive instead of reactive.

    The proactive part will probably be part of her origin story.

    I wonder if it's canon to Matt Reeves's film or if it will do its own thing.

    I'm pretty sure it's in the DCEU, not the Battinson universe
