Warner Bros Is Looking For A Woman Of Colour To Play Batgirl

Warner Bros Is Looking For A Woman Of Colour To Play Batgirl

If there is one thing that Wonder Woman taught us and everyone at Warner it’s that female superheroes can flourish in Hollywood. With that in mind, excitement is beginning to build for Joss Whedon’s Batgirl film. It seems the studio is looking to cast a woman of colour to play Batgirl.

Comic book films are synonymous with rumours and Batgirl already has it’s fair share. There are rumours (described as leaks) floating around 4chan regarding DC’s next solo female comic book film. Except she won’t be so solo. According to the rumours, Robin and Black Canary will join the Batgirl debut. Furthermore, in an effort to increase diversity, Warner is looking to cast a non-white actress in the role of Batgirl.

While the leaks don’t mention any actresses linked to the role, the film has become a priority for the studio.

Joss Whedon currently has his hands full completing the Justice League movie. It will be a while before we hear any concrete news regarding Batgirl or any of the actors involved. Until then, take this with a grain of salt.

    I stopped caring when it was demanded that a super hero be (or become) LGBT, then suddenly Thor became female. We’re a long time gone from the days when they gave a damn what we had to say- even if you’re inclined to believe there ever was a time. Let them do what they do and we’ll do what we do…buy it or not.

    Let’s also take into account for all you people that say “create your own characters” when black panther was released people yelled it was to black and where are the white cast???? Soooo it’s been cool for the past 60 years to keep poc out of movies but when one of few big produced movies that cast POC does come out with too much “black” then it’s still a outcry…so what is it…just want to make sure the old ways stay relevant? Or do you just want to complain. Did you even ask why is it a whole convo to see if it’s ok to cast black characters….a lot of movies change characters who were originally written as black to white characters. So if You’re not going to actually do any research on how much recasting is done to whiten up moves and then disagree with that practice then you shouldn’t care POC are being cast in what is traditionally white roles ‍♂️

    Here we go again! How about you just make the movie properly? Where in the hell is the rule that says other races can’t like white superheroes and white people cannot enjoy super heroes of other races? I’m sure plenty of black people like Batgirl the way she is in the comics just as there are white people who like Black Panther, Cyborg, or Luke Cage! Heck, I love Storm! Stop trying to shoehorn political correctness into entertainment. Instead, focus your time and energy on getting the characters right for a change! It’s the same problem I have with Wonder Woman. Just because I’m female doesn’t mean I can only like female character. I personally have never liked Wonder Woman, Spider-Man is my favorite super hero! Like who you like because you like the character…not because they are popular or politically correct.

      Well said. That’s why things should be left alone. Changing the sex or colour of a character should only be done if it doesn’t affect the plot revovling around family ties such as a White Jim Gordon whos daughter is Batgirl who coincidently was both a white and black villain in the same tv series at different times. To make things simpler leave well alone because I don’t think any of this racial correctness would be an issue otherwise.

      Frank Lindner See, just wanting to argue instead of understand. I never said they don’t deserve their context. I said you’re screaming foul when historically whites have stolen mostly everything to date that you want deem “originally Caucasian”, then all of a sudden want to scream foul when others want to be represented fairly. Your small perception that someone needs to look like you all the time is tired and played out…You boycott when people try to play traditionally white roles but when it’s in reverse it’s “oh they are just casting talent” it’s ok just say you want the world to be a reflection of what makes you feel safe. If you want to say that’s an old idioigy…than realize that people literally rioted when idris Elba played hemdal in Thor…it’s plenty more examples but I know the data only matters when you want it to be relevant. Maybe one day we can just have a multitude of people portraying roles and being able to be cast as anyone without the stereotypes being pushed on them.

    “I don’t care about race. But I’m angry if they change the race of a fictional character.” If you don’t care about race, why trip?

    And don’t try to bring up “what if’s” with Black heroes. Many black heroes were created with their blackness being a major aspect of their character and comic. Whereas most white heroes didn’t have their whiteness as a main component of their character.

    If a character was just white or just black or just whoever, I don’t care about changes.

    But a character like Black Panther, being black is important to his comics. Batgirl being white is not.

    I think it’s about the story. Black, white, or other, it’s about the story. Look at the way racial changes have been handled:

    Iris West and the West family in the Flash series. Strong character. Great development. A plausible explanation that outlines the racial change present in the show vs. the comics, and then the issue is left alone. You’re left with a great character in great stories and it doesn’t matter one damn bit what race the character is.

    Now -to contrast -let’s take Marvel Comics’ current drive to be more ‘progressive’. They change characters for no reason with no explanation other than “Diversity!” and float weak-ass stories. Often with minority characters CHOCK FULL of stereotypes. (Look at Amadeus Cho, Robbie Reyes, Kamala Khan, etc.).

    They make Batgirl a minority character and make it a strong one in a good story, very few will care. But do it only to do it, and have that be the extent of the story -it’ll suck. Not to mention actually be offensive to minority fans.

    So instead of putting the characters of color in DC forward, they’d rather change the existing ones. They announce it because they want to be praised for their decision. They really should get the best actress for the part. They did get Rosario Dawson to play Batgirl in the Lego Batman movie. But it’s like they forgot about Vixen, John Stewart, Jaime Reyes, and Mr. Terrific. This feels shady as shit to me.

    I mean, unless Barbara Gordon is adopted in this timeline, she can’t be anything other than white. She could be mixed, Jim being her father and then having a black/latino/whatever, mother. But other than that, it’s biologically impossible for her to be anything but white. Especially since we know J.K Simmons is Jim Gordon, and he’s white. I suppose they could just say “screw science” but critics and audiences both will see that something’s up. It’d be much safer and much easier for them to just stick with comic accuracy.

      Nick Fury was changed in the Marvel’s Ultimate universe back in 2001, Samuel L Jackson first came onto theater in 2010 9 years later…but that was one of the few times that type of change was actually a good change, DC never once made Barbara Gordon into a black character, that’s just too risky on their part, so how do they make a black Batgirl? instead they create a new character called Cassandra Cain who ends up being the 4th Batgirl, only problems with them doing that in the DCEU though is that Barbara never even made her show as Batgirl yet so it’d be weird to immediately make her into Oracle, and broaden my horizons? Sweetheart, it’s not the fact that it’s the actor’s color that’s different, it’s the fact that they’re not sticking to the comics this way, I could care less what any new hero looks like, but don’t change the old ones, remember the latest Fantastic Four movie? I don’t see that movie getting a whole lotta praise for doing the same thing (in my honest opinion it was ab OKAY movie, but not alot of people share the same opinion on that) I say add, because when you change a character’s race, you’re getting rid of the old one, everyone would go crazy if Black Panther became a white male, it’s just too risky of a move that will most likely be hated in the end, again, it has nothing to do with race, but it has all to do with change

    It would have to make sense. Making nick fury black is no big deal because he was perfectly cast and you dont have to change his overall story. There were no questions when samuel l jackson was cast as fury, and rightfully so. Making the human torch black made no sense at all. He is known as the brother of sue storm, so you had to either mess around with the back-story or make sue black, and i just couldnt buy it. It just wasnt believable. All that did was make someone black just for the sake of doing it. I mean it was a shit film anyway that had worse problems, but that bit of casting did not do it any favors. I personally dont give a shit. I’m going to see a superhero movie to be entertained, not search for some sort of message by making a white character black. If that can be done and take nothing away from the story then fine. If all we’re doing is casting kevin hart to play a norse god because we want to attract a more diverse audience, then you had better be able to make sense out of casting a black comic as a scandanavian deity, because no audience will buy into it.

    I’m one of “those” comic book fans. Comic book accuracy is everything. Do it right, or don’t do it at all. Just like the Ghostbusters and Michael B Jordan as the Human Torch with a white invisible woman, they’re supposed to be siblings. Minor characters changing is nothing, but why mess with the main characters? I’m not built for this world. I’m not sensitive. Idc if everyone feels included or special. Change Vic Stone to a white guy or Asian guy and see what kind of reaction you get. Riots. Smdh

    Also, so far, DC hasn’t changed their main characters, Jimmy Olsen on Supergirl (which is one of the main reasons I don’t watch the show, that and it should be Kara Kent, not Danvers), LF (Morpheous) as Perry White (I like this change though, literally the only difference is skin tone). Marvel has done nothing but mess their characters. Changing almost 30 years of history so everyone feels special and included.

    How much outrage would there be if people cast a white guy as Blade? Lets Go through positive black characters. Vixen, John Stewart, Blade, Storm, Cyborg, Black Panther, Static, Bumblebee, Luke Cage, Falcon. Sorry, but Barbara Gordon is a white girl with Red hair. If they were to do Cassandra Cain then i would hope to see an Asian girl play the role. Stephanie Brown? white chick blonde hair. If there is a feeling of not enough diversity out there then its time new characters were created.

    this argument is getting old AF!!! you want a POC as Batgirl? cool make one up. Just like Miles Morales as Spidey. Like when Falcon became Cap A for a while. Only time people care if when you change a heroes race for pandering reasons. Making Nick Fury black or Iceman gay for example is pandering to PC sheeple. Want a black hero, create a new one, want a gay hero, create a new hero.

      NF became black in Earth-616 after the first Ultimate Universe was destroyed and fused with the Main 616 universe, white NF and black NF fused and the body of NF afterwards became black. this is a reasonable explanation of a change.

    I really don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand I think it’ll be cool to see more people of color in major roles but I have never liked changing of race or gender of iconic characters. Especially when both DC and Marvel have plenty of heroes of color that they can either include or make movies of based on the already proven success of Wonder Woman.

    It was the same issue when one comic writer decided to make Wonder Woman bisexual. I can understand being progressive but Diana Prince being straight in a world of women who predominately were not was a huge part of her character arc.

    There are plenty of WOC’s in DC comics that would be great on film with amazing stories. Hell since Marvel’s Black Panther is proving to be a success how about a Vixen film…she has already proven to work on TV.

    This is just my view but hey.

    This is the kind of BS that’ll tank her big screen debut. And what really pisses me off is you can’t object without being accused of racism. If you want a black superhero, that’s great, make one! There are a lot of great black superheroes that don’t get any love. How about we showcase Vixen? Static Shock? Steel? Mr. Terrific? John Stewart? Etc. We don’t have to change the race of an established character (or sexuality for that matter) just to feel good about ourselves. I’m not a goddamn racist for making this point, if anything I’m saying creating new/or using existing “unsung” characters furthers Black representation in pop culture media. Changing established characters just alienates the existing fan base, and often fails to carry the characters to success, see fantastic four reboot or catwoman. If you want a superhero to have a certain identity, then create one with that identity, if you can’t think of cool idea for a new character then use one who doesn’t get a lot of attention. I guarantee you’ll find far more success bringing someone unknown to light (see guardians of the galaxy) then alienating a 75 year old fan base (see new 52 earth 2 Alan Scott). 10 years ago who would’ve predicted that Green Arrow would’ve had a successful tv series, or the new found popularity of aquaman?

      anyone who throws a fit about hollywood whitewashing but then says stuff like this is progressive is a hypocrite.

      it bothers some people because you are talking about characters that where apart of their childhood. characters they grew up with, invested time and money with. who had hours long conversations about what ifs and who can do what. who felt like they where a part of that universe.

      changing something about that for the sake of social justice or pandering is a slap to the face and will instantly turn off those who loved it. not because it is a change that make sense and works well (see Bette Kane, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, or Stephanie Brown) as a progression of the character and the fans will respond. force change simply for changes sake (or pandering) it will alienate them if it is well done or not.

So in my mind as long as they stick with that story you aren’t changing the race and history of the character, now if you try to say that girl is supposed to be Barbara Gordon then I won’t be watching your movie. Race or Gender swapping a character for the sake of pandering to SJWs nearly always suck in storylines because they completely forget to actually give these characters compelling histories. Sacrificing long-time readers and fans for bandwagon jumpers who only join in a spur of the moment and have little intention of staying is the problem with making comics and movies based on them mainstream.

Spawn is funny example to use cause I bet the casual spawn fan doesn’t even know he is black . And why should anyone else besides a white person play Barbara Gordon. One she isn’t white because she isn’t real, 2 we live in a world where there isn’t just Caucasians. If they depicted every character as they were created it would a 95% white superhero world. Sorry that isn’t appealing to anyone who isn’t white. Representation matters especially for the youth. For example I took daughter to see wonder woman and she loved it and she is now her favorite hero. I know that is largely in part to her being a female lead. I know she would relate to her even more if she had a skin tone to match hers

      I guess I just have a hard time understanding why folk get so upset and whiny over a fictional character’s skin pigmentation being altered though they’re still pretty much the same persona.

      Seems petty and childish. The Dark Tower series is my favorite from SK (though I’d love to see From a Buick 8 in the theatres).

      Having some representation to others isn’t a bad thing at all. Idris is a damn good actor and I’m excited to see this version of the DT series while others are free to nitpick and keep themselves from enjoying entertainment. The stories of fictional characters are altered, events changed or didn’t happen, the X-Men/Mutants and Avengers/MCU are in different universes, Superman’s father dies differently on screen each time than comic books, Batman is much older and sadistic than when he originally met Supes, Aquaman looks like a badass aquatic Tarzan, Cap America didn’t die in Civil War and the “war” was extremely watered down from the original…but seems like folk get more pissed off if, my god, someone is black that was white in the comics!

      It’s one thing to change the color of their skin and another to completely change the character and story.

      Take the Bourne movies, utter shit if you read any of the books. They took the character’s name and his amnesia and pissed all over the rest of the story.

      You claim to be a Dark Tower fan, yet you’re ok with a character based on Clint Eastwood being a tall muscled black guy? Roland is repeatedly described as Clint in every book of the 7 book series. While I haven’t read the newest one the fact remains that Roland being a tall, skinny and weather worn white guy based directly on the man with no name makes Idris a total mismatched choice.

      I’m definitely on board with all humans.

      Because I’ve often paid alot of attention to facets and trends of filmmaking and its’ industry, and also having lived long enough to be familiar with the self-importance of human nature as well as its’ true greed (especially among executive types) I still reeallly think that the reason studios change so many of the characters they own from their original selves these days is NOT to freshly reinvent them, or to keep them interesting or even to *genuinely* attempt to assist in the validation of a target market audience’s identity… To do that purposefully would be a lovely and deserved gift… But maaaaybe, unfortunately, and against the good-hearted nature of the following terms, it’s a fake, faux brand of liberalism / progressivism (of which I am self-proclaimed as both) that’s been designed to make more money – By making your product a hot-button issue, it cannot be ignored; Capitalism and psychology combined. Buzz is generated about the change through media coverage and arguments over social platforms, and then ultimately more people see it because they can’t not. It’s actually really just as smart as it is heartless. I think it is heartless because instead of coming from a soulful place of caring, this method of reinventing a character is nothing more than a cold, calculated monetary capitalization on racial identity… And casts a little extra shock value upon everyday would-be moviegoers, driven by inevitability to mistake true fans – who are hoping to finally see the raw, historical, original character from their childhood – as racist jerks… Real racists are an actual problem too, of course; That issue speaks for itself. But I promise you, plenty of these top dog producers at these monster studios don’t care at all what movies are made. All they care about is MONEY, and they know their audiences can be increased and manipulated into shoveling out more dollars by pushing the right buttons, belonging to the right people. Even if you think I’m wrong, try asking yourself WHY somebody pushed the idea so far down the line. No decision so large gets that far because of ideology. It’s because of moneeeeey.

    The shock value of casting someone because of their skin tone has passed as far as I’m concerned. DC needs to worry more about putting out a quality script and cast actors and actresses who can fill the role. All I want to do is enjoy a movie and then praise or bitch at the writing and content not the racial make up of the person in the film.

    Unless it calls for an overweight, no longer young, bald dude of indistinct origins to be paid millions for a short role. Then I should of course be cast.

      The original (Alan Scott, golden age) was white. The 2nd (Hal Jordan, silver age) was also white. Then John Stewart, the only black GL. Guy Gardner and Kyle Raynor were also white, and I believe the last guy was Latino, don’t recall his name. And correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t there been a woman GL also?

    Neither here nor there. Whether or not the actress fits Barbara Gordon is what’s important. Although I do think it’s kind of silly to particularly seek out someone of one race or another.

    Although, I must say, if they’re looking for someone other than white, it’s a shame they couldn’t just do a Cassandra Cain Batgirl movie. She’s Asian, and has always been a far better character than Barbara Gordon, IMO.

      Firstly I am a true comic fan and understand how cheesy stories at the begining matured as we get older with the comics. Themes such as Homosexuality and poediphilia would have never been published in the pages way back when. But now all aspects of our true nature of society is rife in comics. i was shocked when i read the Green Lantern story on how major Force brutally murdered Green Lantern Kyle’s girlfriend at her apartment and stuffed her broken remains into the fridge only for Kyle to discover later. This for me was too much and as i deplore violence to women in general so this struck a chord for me as totally over the top as a graphic novel event.
      But now in movies characters not only get a pretty drab costume change (mainly because the original costumes can either be silly looking as with ‘Electro’ or too difficult to reproduce) but have their identities changed too. Why is it racist to want your characters to stay true to the source original as in the comics. There is no need for political correctness here as there are many comic book characters featured within the comic book pages anyway. Sometimes it works and other times it is just annoying and pointless!
