By Chilimovie - 23 July 2021

"Batgirl", which has begun casting work, has determined the actor of the Batgirl. According to foreign media reports, after careful consideration, Warner decided to let Leslie Grace, the heroine of "In the Heights", play Barbara Gordon. And this is another important role of Leslie Grace after "In the Heights".


After confirming the news, Leslie Grace expressed his excitement on his social networking site. She said: "I don't know what to say anymore, I can't believe what I am writing. Thank you DC for accepting me into the big family. I am ready to contribute everything I have." And from the casting of Warner, it is not difficult to see that the "Batman" universe will usher in racial diversity, after all, Leslie Grace is a Hispanic actor. Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Gotham City Police Chief James Gordon. The appearance of Batman inspired the young Barbara to embark on the road of fighting crime. She soon started working with Batman and Robin. Less than a year after becoming a second-generation bat girl, Barbara was shot by a clown, paralyzing her lower body. She got into a wheelchair and provided hacking technical support to Batman as an oracle. Three years later, her body underwent an operation and healed, and she returned as a Batwoman.


"Batgirl", which is in preparation, is the second solo film featuring women in the DC film, after Gal Gadot's "Wonder Woman". At this stage, it is a very correct choice for Warner to introduce new characters to the DC universe. After all, the next stage of Warner's films are all in a pending state. Such as "Aquaman 2," the new version of "Batman", "The Flash" or "Black Adam", even the rumored "Injustice", are all in the initial stage of layout. Therefore, the joining of new characters contributes to the formation of the DC universe.
