Director Bilall Fallah shared a photo of the Batgirl movie set for the DC Extended Universe project that confirms Barbara Gordon will be a GCPD policewoman.

Leslie Grace will lead the cast of Batgirl as the lead heroine alongside JK Simmons reprising her role as Gotham City Police Commissioner, Justice League’s James Gordon and Zack Snyder’s HBO Max Extended Edition. We will then see Jacob Scipio in an undisclosed role, Brendan Fraser as Firefly, the main antagonist of the film; Moreover, the duo of Bad Boys for Life, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, will direct the film.

Following the news of Fraser’s cast in October, exciting new news has come from the Batgirl set. In honor of the start of production, Bilall Fallah shared an official photo of the Batgirl movie set on Instagram.

Confirmation that Barbara is a GCPD policewoman in Batgirl is certainly exciting news for comic book fans, pointing to an interesting new perspective for the character. Batgril was originally conceived in an attempt to introduce a female counterpart to Batman in the Adam West- led TV series and was introduced in the comics just earlier as the daughter of Commissioner Gordon who works at the local library. Gordon would later become paralyzed in Batman: The Killing Joke by the Joker and would become the technical consultant and information broker known as Oracle.

Batgirl Release Date

Although the comics have only rarely explored Barbara Gordon as an officer of the GCPD, the character’s film adaptations have touched upon this aspect, including HBO Max’s Batman Beyond and Titans , which both saw her become the commissioner of the GCPD. With many still largely unknown details about the Batgirl plot , it will be interesting to see how Gordon working as an officer under her father affects her transformation into the crime fighter. So we just have to wait to know when the film will arrive on the streaming platform in 2022.
