DC’s Batgirl Movie Has Scored Its Barbara Gordon

Transformers: The Last Knight’s Isabela Merced and Zombieland: Double Tap’s Zoey Deutch were also reportedly in contention for the role, and Unpregnant’s Haley Lu Richardson was in the mix during an earlier stage of the casting process. But as of today, Leslie Grace has been cast as the DC Extended Universe’s Batgirl, making her the second actress to play the character in a live-action feature film, following Alicia Silverstone’s turn as Barbara Gordon in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Barbara has also previously been played in live-action by Yvonne Craig in the 1960s Batman TV series and Dina Meyer in the short-lived Birds of Prey TV series, and Savannah Welch is playing her in Titans Season 3, which debuts on HBO Max next month.
