With Joss Whedon departing the Batgirl movie, the obvious question arises: What next for Barbara Gordon?
The project was initially announced just under a year ago
with Whedon already in talks to write and direct the film. It seemed so
clearly in his wheelhouse — a teen heroine fighting to save a world
that underestimates her? Whedon wrote the book (okay, television series)
on that trope — that it felt as if Warner Bros. was greenlighting this
only because it was a Whedon vanity project. The idea of someone else
taking on a Batgirl movie seemed unlikely, if not impossible, as a result.
Bearing that in mind, it’s certainly possible that Warner Bros. and
DC might quietly put the project back on the shelf for now. There are
other reasons that would make sense, beyond Whedon’s absence.
