According to Variety Joss Whedon is in talks to jump over to DC and direct a standalone Batgirl movie. So what does stand alone mean? I don’t know as in the same article they say that it will be part of DC’s extended cinematic universe. Who knows.
Usually I’m annoyed by news that so and so is “in talks” but I think this would be pretty big so wanted to comment on it. What do you all think about Joss Whedon joining DC in bringing her to the big screen?
Of course Whedon has worked with them before trying to get a Wonder Woman movie off the ground. He really wanted to set it during WWII and DC told him that a period piece Wonder Woman movie wouldn’t work and scrapped it. My how times have changed.
A stand alone Batgirl movie, I’m on board. And if Whedon writes and directs it, even better. Hopefully it’s the Barbra Gordon story that he’ll tell and not Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown.
According to Nerdist (link below), a solo Batgirl film was Joss’s demand to defect from Disney to WB. Combine that with the fan reactions to the Snyderverse, and I think they’re looking for a change.
