Check out a first look at Leslie Grace as Batgirl as the movie continues to film in the UK where the suit is a comic book accurate costume.
Leslie Grace posted the first look on social media with a quote from Barbara Gordon from the comics, who in the HBO Max movie, follows in her father’s footsteps and is a Gotham City Police Officer.
“I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me…
And when their guard is down, and their pride is rising, let me kick their butts.”
– Batgirl, Year One
Set pics have also teased the Michael Keaton Batman, Robin, and villains.
The film doesn’t have an official release date as of yet, but it’s been said to be getting a 2022 release on HBO Max; the directors are Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah who directed Bad Boys For Life, and the film also stars J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, with Brendan Fraser playing the villain, Firefly.
Rumors also offer the Michael Keaton Batman will appoint Batgirl as the new protector of Gotham City, in essence making her the new “Batman,” and that Batgirl will also be a part of an all-female DC Trinity that comes about out of The Flash movie as part of a DCEU reboot.
