I think getting a man to direct a female-led CBM is asking for trouble in general. Any little mistake in the direction taken with the character will be under especially heavy scrutiny because of it. As much as I can't stand this stupid misconception that there's a difference between male and female directors (which completely goes against the ideals of gender equality), they're better off not taking the risk by having a man direct a Batgirl movie. I think Whedon's more than proved his feminist credentials, though, right? I mean, he is responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and has generally endorsed works that espouse tolerant views on social issues. He's also got an impeccable resume (well, in recent history) when it comes to super hero stuff. I think he'll do a good job on the Batgirl movie and that, if not, it won't be because of his gender. well he got in "trouble" for a quip in AoU and the whole Black Widow 'i'm a monster' line. |
