Although initial reports had implied Batgirl would be in the film too , diarist Umberto Gonzalez has taken toTwitterto insist she is n’t after all . " Was decide of late no Batgirl , " he add together in a secondtweet . " Attention to detail , I did n’t say Barbara Gordon , I say Batgirl . " The clear implication is that Barbara Gordon will indeed appear , but in her other superhero identity - Oracle , the computer hacker who serve as a champion and friend to the other member of the Birds of Prey in the comedian . It looks as though this really will be a comic - book - exact adjustment .
The future of the DCEU is gradually taking shape , if only because Warner Bros. is being draw to choose one concept over and above another . In this suit , if this report is accurate then the studio apartment is committing to developing Barbara Gordon as a lame character in an R - grass superhero film . bar an " Elseworlds"-esque concept , that pretty much rules out a lightheartedBatgirlmovie inspired by Cameron Stewart , Brenden Fletcher , and Babs Tarr ’s popular " Batgirl of Burnside " electric discharge . That ’s peculiarly surprising given that , back in April , Warner Bros. recruitedBumblebeewriter Christina Hodsonto work on the script . It may be program have convert at speed , andBatgirlhas now been ditched altogether . Hopefully the situation will be clarified at San Diego Comic - Con . While Warner Bros. ' Hall H panel is bear tofocus onAquamanandShazam ! , the late flurry ofBirds of Preynews surely suggests there ’ll be an announcement of some kind .
It ’s also interesting to job what this would imply for the plot ofBirds of Prey . If the Joker has indeed cripple the DCEU ’s Barbara Gordon , then the hero sandwich surely would n’t take well to an encounter with Harley Quinn . The stakes could be very personal indeed for this movie .
