Justice League is just now hitting theaters, but most of the attention today has been on Batgirl and Joss Whedon.
a rumor kicked into overdrive that Joss Whedon was not going to direct the upcoming Batgirl project. According to that previous report, sources said that Whedon was actually removed from Batgirl months ago, due to recent negative press. Now it seems other sources have said that report is not accurate, and are saying he is currently writing the script.
As for Batgirl, no casting or plot elements have been announced, and as Whedon revealed to EW, he didn't even go to Warner Bros. or DC to pitch a Batgirl film.
We weren't even talking about Batgirl -- it came up as part of another conversation and then we all got so excited that the movie suddenly appeared," Whedon said. "So that's a really good sign to me. It wasn't a slot they were trying to fill. We all just started talking about her and then I couldn't stop. So, that's a good feeling."
