    This just in-

    According to Deadline, who claims exclusive knowledge of such things, a short list of those being seriously considered for the role of Barbara Gordon in a live action “Batgirl” film project has been revealed. As usual, take this with a grain of bat-salt because there is every possibility none of these actors will end up in the role.

    Isabela Merced (“Dora The Explorer“), Zoey Deutch (“Zombieland: Double Tap“), and singer/songwriter Leslie Grace (“In The Heights“) are reportedly being eyed by Warner Bros., with Haley Lu Richardson (“Columbus“) also mentioned. As the report claims, these actors are theoretically already at the screen test level.

    This “Batgirl” film project will be an exclusive for HBO Max.

    Last we reported, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will be directing from a script by Christina Hodson.

    Obviously, we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
