Doesn't say which Batgirl, but most likely Barbara.

Faaaadge yesssss

On the one hand, Joss Whedon is my all time favorite director.

On the other hand, if Babsgirl is getting a solo movie, I'm gonna scream into a pillow and cry for a few weeks.

Huh, interesting. Well Whedon is a great choice for a Batgirl movie. Especially if it's someone like Stephanie Brown (it probably won't be, but a guy can dream).

I guess it's one of the benefits of making Batman so old. It's not hard to say that he's had protégé's before (Gordon even hinted at it in the JL trailer in fact).

A Joss Whedon directed Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown movie would likely become my favorite superhero movie of all time.

But I won't even watch a Babsgirl movie. **** that.

Whedon? Ew.

Although Babsgirl makes no sense because we already have an Oracle Network easter egg.

WHAAAAAAA? Not a Whedon fan?! Please elaborate!

Also, I hope to god you're right. Obviously I'd lose my **** if it were Cass, but a Steph Batgirl movie would be amazing too.

First Nightwing, now Batgirl. I dig it!

[Punisher007]

Out of all of them, Steph would seem to fit Whedon's sensibilities the most (with Cass being in the mix as well).

Whedon to direct ;o

Why am I not surprised that it's the Batfamily who are getting all these announced spinoffs with seemingly more momentum then the other DCEU solo's ?

I mean, we've got Sirens, Nightwing, and now Batgirl. I wouldn't even be surprised if we got an announcement for a Robin solo movie soon, 'cuz Batman .

As long as the Burnside costume is not present in this movie, at least as the main suit, I'm good .

I'm curious if the the Batman solo movie is going to set all these up to some degree...

Gordon's comment about how Batman used to be a team player did seem to imply the Batfamily existed in some form before Robin's death. The only question is how large it was before Joker killed Jason and Batman went off the rails.

[Punisher007]

Batman=$$$$ for DC/WB. Also Ben Affleck's portrayal of Batman was one of the best received parts of BVS.

[Hypestyle]

This should have happened years ago. Maybe there would be a Batgirl 3 by now.

Just make it exciting and light. Don't dwell on super-dark storylines. take a cue from the Supergirl TV show.

Oh-- and no making out with Batman.

[Godlike13]

I don't think it's coincidence that news of a Nightwing and Batgirl movie is coming out after Lego Batman was warmly recepted. Which is probably telling which Batgirl they're gonna use.

I think he'd be a pretty good fit for Babs as well, depending how they characterize her here (and not turn her into a Steph clone).
