Batgirl 'Batgirl' movie? - Part 1

[Boy Scout]

Wouldn't shock me if it was just a tax thing, but I'd wager they have a "look" in mind for Gotham at this point that they want to keep consistent. Or even more simply, the directors saw what the city looked like under Reeves, thought it looked good, decide to shoot there themselves, and weren't told no.

I just thought it was weird. I mean, Reeves’ film did outdoor shots in Chicago— just like Nolan’s first two Batman films.

Which outfit do you guys think Leslie’s Babs will wear? There’s several great ones in the comics and animated series.

I think Flash also did some exterior shooting in Glasgow but don’t quote me on that.

I think it depends on her age, characterization, and the film’s overall tone. I’ve always been partial to a simple outfit with a black-and-yellow color scheme (see: The New Batman Adventures) but if they’re setting out to make a movie that’s more bubblegum than crime drama then I think the Batgirl of Burnside - or even the updated version she’s wearing in the monthly Nightwing book - look would work great.

I can’t believe we live in a world where a SuperPets movie is going to get a theatrical release while the first ever Batgirl film gets released as a streaming movie. Should be the other way around, if you ask me.

I agree!

I really hope that when WB brass see the dailies for Batgirl, they rethink their strategy. Granted, they want to keep and grow their HBO Max subscription base, but WB hasn't had a big animated hit in years.

Batgirl has serious franchise potential. If Adil & Bilall do it right, WB would be leaving lots of $$$ on the table by shelving a theatrical release.

The Supergirl show was able to have Superman be around in-universe without undermining Supergirl. Why does Batman have to be "gone from Gotham" or whatever to be able to do shows or movies about other Batman characters? Gotham is a big city and Batman can't be everywhere. Plenty of room for Barbra to have her own movie without having Bruce abandon Gotham.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

If Titans gets Bruce, then Batgirl should too

 

[Predator jp]

WB don't know what to do with Bruce in DCEU.

The Supergirl show achieved that largely by instead choosing to undermine Superman, that isn't exactly a great improvement. *cough* Though it should have been unnecessary, as it should be here for a Batgirl show.

I blame, in part, writers and directors who are unable to conceptualize the idea of the Hero *not* being the most important person in the world of the story. Its not enough that you are the hero of *this* story, that *you* have to deal with this problem; if someone else somewhere exists who is doing something else big and important, it somehow diminishes them. The only worthwhile story is one where the whole world revolves around it and you. Maybe moviemakers have been consistently taught the idea that nothing exists offstage and offscreen, and so are poorly suited for adjusting when people start realizing "Um, no, that is BS".

To be fair, it’s a somewhat tricky balance to strike. If Superman is always off doing his own thing that is apparently so important that he’s not available to help Kara, the question then becomes: why doesn’t Superman ever ask Supergirl for help?

Of course, “somewhat tricky” doesn’t mean that it’s in any way a difficult balance to strike, but there’s more opportunity for absences to look contrived on television compared to film.

I mean, the obvious solution, at least to me, is that once or twice a season, you have Superman do exactly that: ask for and receive Supergirl's help. You don't even strictly need Superman to appear on screen to make this work: in an extreme case you could use this as an excuse to have a "main hero is missing" episode focused on the supporting cast. Though I wouldn't want to overdo this unless you literally aren't allowed by the execs to put Superman onscreen.

 

[Sawyer]

Love that.

 

[Mysteryman]

Love that.

Beautiful.

It’s interesting that there are so many Batgirl suits to choose from. I’d probably go with the black bodysuit with the yellow symbol like in her first appearance.

Fantastic news! Her score on Loki is amazing.

I've felt for a time that the show could've started with Superman being announced as dying in battle with Doomsday and Kara becoming Supergirl to fill the void. And instead of Jimmy and Winn you could have John Henry Irons as Kara's love interest, preferably played by Aldis Hodge, and season 2 of Supergirl would be Reign Of The Supermen inspired, with John Henry Irons becoming Steel.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but, I didn’t like that she said “Batman’s out”

Everytime something notable happens in Gotham Batman abandons it lmaoo

They're gonna do this with Superman too aren't they?

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I want to see a legit Batfamily, with Batman, Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin all in action. I would love to see the Superfamily too with Superman, Supergirl, Steel, and Superboy.

Maybe Grace can sing a title song for BATGIRL if there is one.
