According to Entertainment Weekly, Whedon is gong to be drawing inspiration for his DCEU Batgirl movie from DC’s New 52 comic book continuity.
Details are now emerging online, regarding the potential comic book sources that Whedon could be drawing from, should he moved forward with his Batgirl project.
News has only just broken that Warner Bros is courting onetime Avengers filmmaker Joss Whedon to write and direct a solo movie featuring Batgirl for its DC Extended Universe franchise.
Originally created for the 1960s Batman TV series starring Adam West and introduced into the DC comic book mythos shortly thereafter, the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl is the second, but by far best known character to call herself Batgirl.
