It's almost like Ironman had a kid with Storm and this is the horrid result. The bead lightning throughout the suit is what kills it for me. I also don't care for BL with a beard...
Batgirl is flying solo. The superheroine is getting her own standalone movie from filmmaker Joss Whedon.
Whedon is nearing a deal to write, direct, and produce an untitled Batgirl pic for Warner Bros. as part of its DC Extended Universe.
No other producers are currently attached. Toby Emmerich, president and chief content officer of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, is overseeing with Jon Berg and Geoff Johns. The new project originated in the past month.
Sources tell EW that this version will be Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon, and the movie will use the DC Comics “New 52” version of the character as a starting point.
It’s unclear how much of that series, written by Gail Simone, will be incorporated into Whedon’s film, but sources tell EW the movie will follow Simone’s harder-edged storyline rather than the more comical, playful “Batgirl of Burnside” series that was rebooted in 2014, featuring the hero as a social-media obsessed student living in a hipster neighborhood of Gotham.
I'm sure girl power movies are gonna be a big thing sooner or later. In Whedon's mind he's thinking he can make a better Batgirl movie than Jenkins can make a WW movie.
Whedon would be one of my top choices for GLC, though.

Whedon finally does a DC movie...and they put him on Batgirl?!? What a waste.
Not from a Hollywood standpoint. He did a successful movie that spawned a hugely successful series (itself spawning a spinoff) based on a tough heroine. Since he already missed WW, it makes sense from that side.
You didn't instantaneously recognize him? Shame on you
No, I did. I just went right to Englund's IMDb page just to make absolutely sure it wasn't someone imitating a Freddy voice. Every now and then I hear a voice in a video game I'm sure is a certain actor only to double check and find it's not (sometimes convincing me the real voice actor is purposely imitating a certain actor/character).
