The fine folks over at TVGuide.com have a first look of the new BATGIRL for season two of The Batman.
As in previous TV and comic-book incarnations, this Dark Knight Damsel is Police Commissioner Gordon's daughter, Barbara. But in a new twist, she's just a teenager who turns to fighting crime with cape and cowl after her father puts the kibosh on her plans to become a police detective.
Producer and art director Jeff Matsuda based the Batgirl character's design on the '60s live-action Batman series, especially the striking purple hue made famous by Yvonne Craig. He also cops to being influenced by "the cartoons I grew up on," including Battle of the Planets and Thundercats.
Batgirl joins Season 2 of The Batman which begins in the fall. (The first year is still airing on WB Saturdays at 10:30 am/ET, with repeats on Cartoon Network on Saturdays at 8:30 pm/ET beginning April 2.)
Follow the link above for more information on the new Batgirl.
Also, For an exclusive first look at Batgirl's first archenemy, Poison Ivy, pick up the April 3 issue of TV Guide magazine, on sale Thursday.
not only that, But they had the NERVE TO CHANGE THE ORGIN OF BATGIRL>?????? She was in collage, both in comics and in BTAS when she became Batgirl. and NO ROBIN yet?? Batgirl before Robin.
Yep this show needs to get shot and fast.
And if this is Batman YEAR ONE ete. Than Batgirl has NO RIGHT to be in the SHOW. Robin is not part of the team, and now they added Batgirl.
I think Twoface will indeed look like my joke lol.
