A moody but fabulous superhero?! Yep, Batgirl is getting a movie

It looks like Batgirl is going to be a movie star!

It has been announced that Batgirl is close to getting her very own standalone movie, all thanks to filmmaker, Joss Whedon.

According to Variety, Joss just about has a deal nailed, which will see him write the script, direct and produce the flick for Warner Bros as part of the DC movie universe.

Even though Batgirl is one of the most popular heroines, she's never actually gotten her own movie, however, it is said that the flick will also feature a few familiar faces from Gotham.

The film is reportedly going to be based on th Batgirl story from the 1967 DC comic.

In this edition, Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham City police commissioner James Gordon, appears as the first Batgirl in The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl! by writer Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino.

Apparently, Joss has been meeting with various Warner Bros producers in the past few months to get this film on the silver screen, so fingers crossed everything will pull through.
