There
has been a lot of talk recently about a Batgirl movie written and/or
directed by Joss Whedon. He previously worked on the Marvel movies
The Avengers and Age of Ultron as well as creating the series Buffy
The Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse, Angel, and Agents Of SHIELD.
I actually gave up on watching most of those shows. Everyone is all
“He is so good at writing women characters! Girl power!” and all
that shit. I get it. To me its more important who plays Batgirl. And
stop saying Emma Stone just because she has red hair, you
non-creative bastards. He hair is actually blonde by the way. She
dyes it red.
For
those that don't know, Batgirl has been played by many characters in
the comics. Four that are known. She was created in 1961 an her name
was Betty Kane but six years later returned played by Barbara Gordon
which is the one most know her as. She was played by Alicia
Silverstone in that terrible ass Batman & Robin movie in the 90's
but we won't talk about that. Yvonne Craig played her in the 1967
series. After being paralyzed and likely sexually assaulted by The Joker in The Killing Joke she returned as the wheelchair bound Oracle
helping Batman and everyone including her own team Birds Of Prey.
Years later she was able to walk again.
