Frankly, I still have mixed feelings about it. While I have no problems with Barbara Gordon (who they'll most likely go with) or Cassandra Cain, I don't really feel that Batgirl as a whole really warrants her own film. I think she works best as a supporting character for Batman. I've also heard some less than flattering things about Joss Whedon's script for his cancelled Wonder Woman movie (haven't read it myself), so that makes me wonder if he can truly deliver with a Batgirl film.

No. Like you said, the character is good, but only as a supporting player.
I also don't think Whedon fits the DCEU tone and what the Batman universe is capable of as far as darkness. He just adds too many jokes and his visual style isn't that great.

I'm more interested than anxious. That shelved Wonder Woman movie was just strange though.

my interest in the DCEU devolved into morbid curiosity after the first few entries. i liked Wonder Woman well enough but it hasn't much improved my disposition on future attempts.
all that said, yes. if he can bring any of the same mojo he had for Firefly, Astonishing X-Men, or Avengers Assemble to the Bat family i'm there.

Not really...I think it'd be great if somewhere down the line they introduced her as a supporting character. But no way in hell does she deserve her own movie at this time.

Hell yeah. Joss is awesome.
I wonder what dcfan's response is...I've asked him dozens of times how he feels about Joss directing Batgirl (since he claims to hate The Avengers 1&2) and he refuses to comment. The only time he even acknowledged my question was when he deflected to something else...I think he said something about Patty Jenktin/Thor:TDW.

They weren't terrible. They were phenomenal. Yes Karen Gillan is beautiful, I don't see how that relates to The Avengers movies - she's Nebula in GotG and ALL SHE WANTED WAS A SISTER! |

I..I..Don't know. I mean Joss gave us Buffy, who was a great female lead. So I'm sure he'll write her good, but I don't know if he'll make a good film. I'll have to wait for the trailer to see if I'm interested.

I've deduced that he's more a Marvel fan than he is a DC fan. His silly attacks on the amazing Marvel movies aren't just to get himself attention, but to get people to defend, praise, and otherwise talk about the Marvel movies - because he loves them and wants more discussion about them. Sure he rates them 1's and 2's, but even if you don't care for them, no rational, intelligent or sane person could think they're honestly 1's and 2's. He doesn't really think they deserve those ratings. It's just to get people to challenge his rants. Same with the Netflix shows. If someone thought all the movies were 1's and 2's - they wouldn't watch the next one as soon as its out, which he does - they also wouldn't watch Marvel TV series. The more he appears to hate a Marvel movie, the more he actually enjoyed it. |
