Concept Art For DC's BATGIRL and Directors Say It Will Feature The "Real Batman"

Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are currently prepping for their feature film adaptation of DC’s Batgirl. We don’t really know that much about the movie, but the directors who are making it are teasing one big element about the film. Also, during the DC FanDome event this weekend they shared a piece of concept art that you see above.

They confirm that Batman will be in the movie, and while we don’t know which version of Batman we will see in the film, the filmmakers say that it would be the “real Batman.” They shared this bit of news in an interview with VRTNWS. They also confirmed that the Batgirl costume will take inspiration from the “Burnside” version of the character.

So, the question is who is the “real Batman”? I guess we’re going to find out! If it was up to me, the real Batman would be Micheal Keaton.

Leslie Grace was cast in the role of Barbara Gordon in Batgirl. The script was written by Christina Hodson, who previously wrote Bumblebee as well as DC’s Birds of Prey and The Flash. Kristin Burr, who recently worked on Cruella, is producing the film, which is going to be released exclusively on HBO Max. Burr said in a previous statement:

‘With Batgirl, we hope to take the audience on a fun ride and see a different side of Gotham. Christina’s script is crackling with spirit. Adil and Bilall have an excited and joyous energy which is infectious, making them the perfect filmmakers for this Batproject. And I’m just psyched I get to be part of the DC universe, which is super cool.”

The exact release date of the Batgirl movie is still unknown, but it will be released on HBO Max.
