20 Most Exciting Movies Announced In 2017

6. Batgirl

Stephanie Brown Batgirl
DC Comics

Release Date: TBA

Joss Whedon will write and direct a solo Batgirl movie for the DCEU, which will apparently draw influence from the popular New 52 iteration of the character.

Though Justice League's underwhelming critical and commercial performance caused many fans to question Whedon's involvement with Batgirl, Warner Bros. has confirmed that he's still hard at work on it, and considering that Whedon was working under immense pressure to fix Justice League, he shouldn't really shoulder too much of the blame.

Whedon's recent sexism controversy notwithstanding, he has proven himself a proponent for strong, resourceful heroines in the past, so with the right casting, there's a solid chance he gives Barbara Gordon a strong introduction to the DCEU.
