The Batgirl movie has been in development for quite some time, but only now has the actress who will play Barbara Gordon been confirmed: Leslie Grace.
Since 2017, the title has been discussed, and it seems that DC and Warner are finally getting the project off the paper, although no other details are known. The actress herself took to her Twitter profile to thank for the opportunity.
