Joss Whedon on who should play Batgirl

That's very nice.
I think we'll reallyreally find out how Kevin feels about Joss in a year or two.
When the first Batgirl trailer appears, if Kevin doesn't drop a MCU trailer in the day or two after, then we'll know for real that it's all good.

He most probably will, and it doesn't matter, Sony and Fox do it many times, as soon as a trailer for a WB / DC movie is released, they drop a trailer for one of their comic book movies.

Also, some people forget that Whedon was associated with a DC movie (Wonder Woman) before he joined Marvel camp to direct Avengers.

Joss Whedon called Feige about Batgirl.

Whedon spent years at Marvel not just as the writer and director of the two Avengers movies but also as a consultant, giving input on other projects. And thus when it was revealed he was taking on Batgirl for DC, fans were shocked at the news. It turns out Feige had known about it for a while. And was cool about it.

"He called. A couple months ago, which he didn't have to do and was super cool of him and super nice of him," Feige said. "And we couldn't be more supportive. We want to see a Joss Whedon Batgirl film be awesome."

So, Warner Bros. have been talking to Whedon for quite some time maybe, the deal to give him charge of Batgirl movie took place around Feb 2017, months before the reporters or other "sources" got any idea about it, just goes to show how little we actually know about what's happening behind the scenes at WB.

It also shows that they have something planned for their characters, that is.. they are not throwing s#it at wall to see what sticks, as commented by some bloggers.

I agree. All of the online 'insiders' have been consistently wrong about DCEU.
The old school media- Variety and the Hollywood Reporter- have broken all the legit WB news for the past several years, and it never has anything to do with what the prominent internet names claim to have been hearing from their alleged sources.

Edit*

Do not bring political agenda into movie threads.

 

[Marvel]

Editing a valid topic means that you can't handle adult conversations. How the hell are you a moderator?

You really don't think anger directed at Whedon that's massive on social pages belongs in a topic about the movie? There are calls for him to be fired and it will certainly effect box office and maybe the entire DCEU.

Bury your own head in the sand if you must but let the adults at least talk about it.

Settle down kid, there's a political section for Trumpy fans to peddle their deal, this isn't the thread for it, learn and move along.

Editing a post that brings in a discussion that does not belong in this thread and would needlessly derail the conversation is what moderators do, as well as Administrators which is what Hunter is....he is also a valued and respected poster on this forum.

Your topic would be better suited in the political forum, or simply replying to the conversation you posted. However, it does not belong in this conversation, neither does your rudeness. My suggestion is, as Hunter suggested as well. Move on...

So, Batgirl appears to be on a fast track

Batman-News.com suggests that Patty Jenkins meeting with Emma Stone and Anna Kendrick over the last two nights may be related to Batgirl (while acknowledging that Joss Whedon is absolutely locked in as writer/director).

I'd be really happy with either of these Ladies in the role!

Since I can't put Brie Larson in as my choice for these roles anymore, at least for a long while I hope....lol


I throw into the mix, Skylar Samuels. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1321094/

I've never seen a Skyler Samuels performance.

But a quick bio search reveals that she is the daughter of a U.S. Marshal (which would be a very neat law enforcement connection to playing the daughter of the Police Commissioner), and that she is a graduate of Stanford, a very prestigious university (which is also neat 'cuz Barbara is real smart).
And a quick image search reveals that Skyler Samuels is ridiculously beautiful.

So, if she can act at all, I would be very happy if your suggestion of Skyler Samuels as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl were to happen.

Any supporting characters you guys want in this movie?

The only one I really want is Dinah Lance/Black Canary. I'd be ok with Huntress or Dick making cameos but I'd love to see the Babs/Dinah friendship on the big screen. Hell, a sequel could even see Birds of Prey onscreen
