Chances Of It Happening: 7/10

In early 2017, Joss Whedon (The Avengers) was hired to write, direct and produce a solo Batgirl movie, and later that year, it was reported that Whedon would begin production on the film in 2018 (and an actress shortlist popped up too).

But then the tepid response to Justice League (which Whedon unofficially co-directed), put the Batgirl project into question - there were rumours that Whedon had been removed from the project, and other rumours stating that he was still attached, none of which have been confirmed or denied by Warner Bros or Whedon.

So all we can assume is that he's still working on the script (which was the last official report we heard on the matter) and that Batgirl is still chugging along.

After DC's success with the female-centric Wonder Woman it wouldn't be a surprise to see Batgirl happen within the next few years, but the lack of any real news or buzz about the project (besides Lindsay Lohan campaigning for the title role) is worrying.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
