There will always be only ONE Batgirl.........Yvonne Craig........may she rest in peace...............To be replaced by the more accurate Batshit Crazy Woman...
We’re so far down the rabbit hole that there’s no turning back.
It is? It was always an early example of PC tokenism and a cynical plan to get girls to buy comics (which they never did anyway).

Whedon has a reputation for unfinished projects.
How about a bats woman who could change her race, color, creed, national origin and even gender as the situation warranted.
Teenage waif beats up men outweighing her by 150 pounds - just like every other Joss Whedon production. :-)
(Still missing Firefly. Whedon got screwed by Fox on that.)
I don’t think gender or race of the director really matter.
The problem is dealing with a super-hero female type, who was marginally covered in the comics, and basically a very limited character in the 1960s series for a couple of shows. No one knows how to take the basic character and fill in the charm, charisma, or focus. Even for the evil anti-Batgirl character...can anyone even name someone who pops up? They’d have to go and rehash one of the Batman villains.
In the comics version....you just didn’t equate Batgirl to Wonder Woman, Black Canary, or such. It was a weak creation in the first place.
Based on the success of “Black Panther,” Hollywood should only produce films with an all Black casts.
Doesn’t have to. But it certainly helps to not have bad history. Before the divorce and all the dirt that came out Whedon was well regarded as a creator of and writer for female characters, now with all that dirt hanging around any misstep would be pounced on.
The producers of Gotham should be put in charge.
[Blind Gossip] This famous multi-hyphenate director says that he has chosen to exit from a huge movie project because he just couldn’t figure out how to make the story work.
That’s not the whole story.
It took months for them to convince him to step down. They wanted him out because they knew trouble was coming in the form of multiple complaints from women on previous films. This is a female protagonist film, so they didn’t want the controversy. Problem is that he had a contract, so they had to be careful about their approach. It had to look like he “volunteered” to leave. I don’t know what they had to give him to make him go away, but it had to be substantial.
We do not know who is up at bat to replace him, but certainly hope it will be someone who is more respectful of women.

[Optional] Who should the company hire to replace him?
Barbara Gordon’s best story arc is about becoming Oracle.
But they’ll never use that a multi-million dollar movie.
Too bad he’s not exiting a free helicopter ride. He’s a full on SJW, he must have been on a year long bender to do Firefly.
Joss Whedon cheats on wife.
