The forthcoming movie Batgirl was cancelled by Warner Bros. Discovery, shocking the entertainment industry despite the fact that filming had already ended. Leslie Grace, who was slated to play the title role of the Caped Crusader, has already revealed a picture of Batgirl’s final outfit for the cancelled movie.
In a video on Instagram, Grace reminisced about her 2022 with a video of memories, and while many of these included moments with family and friends, a number of behind-the-scenes looks at what appears to be the filming of Batgirl were also included. Among these was an image of Grace in her full Batgirl attire, sitting in what appears to be her trailer. While Warner Bros. Discovery has released an image of Grace on-set as Batgirl, the snippet provided by the actress herself provides an even closer look at the costume that would have been.
Unlike the all-black motifs seen in newer films, such as The Batman starring Robert Pattinson and The Dark Knight trilogy by Christopher Nolan, it appears that Grace’s costume would have harkened back to the more classic Batman looks. The heavy use of yellow in the costume, including on the Bat symbol and the interior of the cape, evokes memories of the suit in the 1989 Batman film and its sequel, Batman Returns, worn by Michael Keaton, who was set to reprise his role in Batgirl. The costume also appeared to have a purple hue, perhaps in a nod to the similar Batgirl outfit from the original 1960s television show.
