Batgirl Standalone Film

Joss Whedon will write, direct and produce a standalone Batgirl film for the DCEU. Thoughts?

Well that came right the f*ck out of nowhere lol.

Seems like it will be Barbara, I think it would be cool for the Cassandra Cain version to have a movie, but meh. Whedon was behind both Avengers movies, so I'd say he could potentially do a good job with this.

It could be good, it's certainly in Whedon's wheelhouse. Though I’m not much of a fan of Batgirl so it doesn’t really excite me.

I'm pumped for anything coming from Whedon, Batgirl sounds especially interesting. Wonder how much of a presence Affleck's Batman will have in the movie though.

I think with Whedon doing Batgirl, Reeves doing Batman, McKay doing Nightwing and possibly Mathew Vaughn doing MoS2 and Mel Gibson doing Suicide Squad, the DCEU is about to become very interesting

Frankly I just want them to step away from the Bat Family entirely.

**** no. I don't hear any regular people say a thing about batgirl. DC ****ing up with a horrible idea.

Personally I am waiting for a prequel focusing on Alfred in Vietnam somehow.

On paper sounds like a win. When Whedon's on point, he's great. Batgirl is a good character that hasn't had much spotlight in films.

No regular people said a thing about Iron Man before the first movie came out in 2008. So why does that matter? If Batgirl is good she'll become popular.

Iron man was a brand new character and concept. This is a female batgirl aka variation of batman. It'd be like marvel announcing here comes she hulk. The universes are too broad to focus on similar characters.

The similarity between Batgirl and Batman has no bearing on how financially and critically popular Batgirl can be. If the movie is good and people love it, none of that matters.

Quan is just pissed Whedon is directing for the DCEU now.

marwash22 HELL YEAH.

I'm guessing they wanted Whedon on board, and he's the one who proposed a Batgirl film.

Iron Man was not a brand new character nor concept before 2008. Are you feeling okay?
