Mar 30, 2017 Variety is reporting that The Avengers director Joss Whedon will be switching sides, moving over to Warner Bros. to direct Batgirl for them. The film will be a standalone outing for the hero and will be a part of the DC Extended Universe. Whether that means we can expect to see characters like Batman and Nightwing show up is unknown, but we’d be surprised if they don’t at least stop by for a quick cameo of some sort. Aside from Whedon, no one else is attached to the project at the moment, but from what we understand, this is all fairly new. The project only originated in the past month or so. Of course, there’s no word yet on who the studio may be eyeing for the titular role, but already fans are putting forth their casting wishlists, with Emma Stone seeming to be a pretty popular choice among many, as she has been for some time now. Circling back to what we know, though, Variety reports that “characters from the world of Gotham” will feature in the film. Again, that doesn’t necessarily mean the Caped Crusader himself will show up – it could be someone like Jim Gordon – but it’s encouraging to hear that they’ll be taking full advantage of the world that’s at their disposal. It could also mean that there will be some kind of tie-in here with Gotham City Sirens. Regardless of how this all plays out, hearing that Whedon will be taking the helm of a female-driven comic book movie is hugely exciting. He’ll have full creative control over it (as he’s also producing and writing) and with so much source material to draw from, it’ll be fascinating to watch what direction he heads in with both the character and the film as a whole. http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/...Crew_notification_1490909103&pushcrew_powered
Mar 30, 2017 I should be all over this, Batgirl is my favourite comic character oat and I was a big fan of Whedon's work, but after the last Avengers movie I'm worried he might be washed.
Mar 30, 2017 last avengers had no chance tho if we being real not like they was gonna go as serious as the comics thats what made it flop
Mar 30, 2017 This is pretty promising tbh, unfortunately I don't trust WB to not f--- up his movie somehow
Mar 30, 2017 uh i was pretty sure marvel meddled with that one, which is the reason he stepped away from marvel
