Warner Bros. and DC Comics are getting ready to reboot the DC Extended Universe when The Flash hits theaters in 2023, so they have already begun filming projects that are set in that new universe like the recently wrapped Batgirl and the currently in production Blue Beetle. When Batgirl was announced fans didn’t know what to expect until the studio revealed who would play the titular character. Leslie Grace was announced to join the film as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl with Michael Keaton and J.K. Simmons returning as Batman and Commissioner Gordon respectively. We finally received the first look at the actress in costume when the film began filming, but it wasn’t really what fans expected. The suit is reminiscent of the costume the character wore during the New 52 era of DC Comics and features a leather jacket, a black-and-yellow cape, and a pretty decent cowl. Fans weren’t really loving the biker look, so one digital artist gave Grace a more classic Batgirl look.
