Joss Whedon in talks to direct Batgirl

[MartyMcFly]

And Whedon is headed to Netflix most likely unless he wants Feige all up in the cut again

Wrong environment right now for a white guy to direct a female driven movie. Not saying it can’t be done but the optics right now aren’t a good look. Plus isn’t joss still dealing with all that nonsense that erupted between he and his ex?

Oh Feige is the executive 'all up in the cut'.

Basing it off of what he wanted to do with AOU but not being able to.

Not to mention his wonder woman script that leaked that got torn to shreds for being sexist.

compounded by his contributions to the character of wonder woman in dceu being Aquaman talking about how hot she is and flash falling on her boobs.

I don't think whedon ever works with dc again.

Good fukk him

Whedon sucks. Following the WW blueprint is the right idea. Hopefully this movie doesn't happen for quite some time. Way too soon to be putting a Batgirl movie out, IMO, but WB always wants to shoot their load early with these superhero movies.

They should hire the Lady Bird director and have Saoirse Ronan be Batgirl.

 

[Norrin Radd]

They need to put this and Nightwing on hold until they drop The Batman an actually establish his world first.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

who's hyped for a batgirl movie

That's actually a great idea. Hopefully they would be down, Saoirse Ronan turned down the Scarlett Witch part from Marvel.

Rumor has is he got fired after the recent WB shakeup and the JL mess

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Sounds like he got the me too treatment almost. Couldn’t crack the story and felt like the environment was all wrong for a male to tackle a female character.

He’ll get something else. Against the will of @Dominic Brehetto

I think that's bull .. didn't he approach WB with a Batgirl movie ...

They asked him what he was interested in and he said "batgirl." You can always have a pitch or an idea but then realize you got jack shyt to write. But again, wrong climate for him, especially with his dirty laundry being out there and it turns out Joss isn't as much as feminist as he claimed to be. He'd just rather tell everyone else how they should act

What ever gave you that idea? "Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn’t have a story "
