![]() Dick grayson / Robin / Nightwingĭick Grayson, aka Robin, aka Nightwing, has a long history of ups and downs with Barbara Gordon in comics. Given that both Birds and Batgirl are written by the same screenwriter, Christina Hodson, and with the film being a possible Year One adaptation, a Canary appearance does not sound at all impossible. Jurnee Smollett, who played Dinah in BoP, was deemed a perfect choice for the character by fans and sparked fan interest all over the world with intense social media campaigning leading to her own standalone Black Canary film written by Misha Green being announced as an HBO Max exclusive last month. In Year One, Barbara seeks Canary in order to be trained by her, and she serves as a mentor figure for the heroine, fighting side by side with Barbara against Killer Moth and Firefly. And in case Batgirl indeed takes inspiration on limited series Batgirl: Year One, Dinah’s appearance in the film might make even more sense. ![]() A very experienced martial artist and known for having an ear-splitting supersonic scream known as the “canary cry,” Dinah founded the Birds of Prey alongside Barbara in the comics. One of them is Dinah Lance, aka the Black Canary, a character that shares a vastly long history with Barbara Gordon in comic books, either as Batgirl or Oracle. Last year’s DCEU film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) opens an entire box of infinite possibilities for crossovers with Batgirl. He is indeed our current canonical Batman in the DCEU and will also appear in The Flash (even though there has been a strong indication that the film will serve as a swan song to his iteration of Bruce Wayne.) 3. ![]() It was also reported that, in case a deal made, Keaton would also appear in several other upcoming DC films as the character in a “Nick Fury-type role of a mentor or guide or string-puller,” with Batgirl being mentioned as one of the films discussed.Īlthough there’s more evidence against it than for it, there might also be a slim chance Ben Affleck reprises his version of the Caped Crusader in the film. Back in June 2020, Michael Keaton was announced by trades to be in talks to reprise his role as Batman from Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) in Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash. In case Batgirl is an origin story, which seems likely, a Bruce Wayne appearance in the film is a no-brainer, and there is also actual evidence that supports the Dark Knight’s involvement in the feature. That description matches a few different iterations of Firefly, so there’s definitely a large possibility the villain shows up in the HBO Max original film. By July, The Illuminerdi reported that the production of Batgirl was looking for an actor in his 50s-60s to play the film’s villain, described as a disgruntled former firefighter. A sociopathic pyromaniac with a compulsion to start fires, Lynns fought Barbara side by side with Killer Moth in iconic comic book limited series Batgirl: Year One. Fireflyįirefly, aka Garfield Lynns, is one of Barbara Gordon’s most notable foes throughout her journey as Batgirl. Here’s a list of 10 DC characters that could possibly show up in the Dark Knightess’ standalone outing: 1. At this point, we have no idea who else will be featured in the film’s supporting cast. Story details on Batgirl are being kept under tight wraps.
