    BURBANK, CA—While giving creative notes on the screenplay in a Friday
    meeting, DC Comics president Geoff Johns reportedly said he was
    concerned that a recent draft of the Batgirl: Origins script was
    not compelling enough to support a movie, three more movies, a 2028
    reboot, and four additional movies. “Frankly, I just don’t see this
    having the legs to carry a feature film, a follow-up trilogy, a video
    game franchise, and then another prequel trilogy,” Johns said, adding
    that while the script’s first act “definitely works,” he worried the
    narrative would drag when stretched to a full 90-minute runtime, several
    more 90-minute runtimes, and a dozen more 50-minute runtimes as part of
    the Netflix tie-in series. “I’m just worried this starts running out of
    steam well before the end of the movie, the comic book adaptation, and
    the standalone spinoff movies telling the Huntress’s backstory. If a
    narrative can’t even sustain a single movie and a Lego set, let alone
    more than one syndicated animated series, maybe it needs some heavy
    revisions.” At press time, DC executives had decided to ask for a total
    rewrite after concluding villain Killer Moth was not an interesting
    enough antagonist to hold people’s interest for two hours and the length
    of several Six Flags roller coasters.

    In my eyes, a female superhero is a woman that has dinner ready when you get home, gives you ass after dinner, then leaves you the fuck alone the rest of the night.

    People like to watch super heroes and fantasy stuff but there is a limit to what they'll believe. There has to be at least some realism in a movie.

    They should just do like Supergirl and make it a tv series. Not that I would watch it.

    BREAKING NEWS!!!

    Suddenly the almost dead at conception plan for a BatGirl film has resuscitated in a BIG WAY. Call it a stroke of genius to whomever at DC made it possible to persuade The Avengers maverick director, Joss Whedon to write and direct the Batgirl film. Now this has turned into a HOT property and many fans are speculating who should they cast as Barbara Gordon. I'll give you an idea: cast Beyonce. Not only she will break comicbook stereotypes (black, older and not very good at acting), but also by being VERY PREGNANT she can push her & Whedon's liberal feminist agenda farther than we care to!!!
