#First Batgirl Concept Art Shows Leslie Grace’s Barbara Gordon Watching Over Gotham

While the suit itself has yet to be completed, the concept art shows a version of Barbara Gordon donning the classic cowl and her signature red hair. According to El Arbi and Fallah, both will make the final cut And while Barbara will certainly be the character that comic fans know and love, she won’t be without a few interesting differences. For one, she might be going down a much darker path.

Although “Batgirl” has yet to begin production, news of the completed script was announced back in early August, with details kept well under wraps since then. Part of the DC FanDome panel included screenwriter Christina Hodson (“Birds of Prey”) sharing some important details about Barbara’s journey through the film. She mentioned that this version of the character may be “less law-abiding” than others and added:

“[Barbara]’s discovering Batgirl for the first time, so she’s getting to explore a duality she’s already had in her personality.”

Grace hinted that this very duality is what makes this Batgirl so special, adding, “she’s also so capable of being strong and being determined and kicking butt.” It’s only a matter of time before we finally get to meet her, but a release date for “Batgirl” has yet to be announced.
