Batgirl director Adil El Arbi has heard the criticisms of Leslie Grace's superhero costume and wants everyone to wait for the film before casting judgement. To get his point across, El Arbi busts out the iconic Batman Slapping Robin meme. Check it out:
Batgirl director Adil El Arbi responds to criticisms leveled towards the film's Batgirl costume by posting the popular Batman slapping Robin meme. The film itself stars Leslie Grace in the titular role as the daughter of Commissioner James Gordon and a sidekick of the Dark Knight himself ; Brendan Fraser is also set to star as one of the film's antagonists, a murderous pyromaniac named Firefly.
Grace unveiled a first look at her Batgirl costume on Instagram. In the vein of recent DCEU superhero designs, Batgirl's vividly yellow and purple costume is a clear homage to the traditional comic book depictions of the character. Despite the comic-accurate look, fans online have been quick to criticize the costume's quality saying that the brights colors and material make it look like a fan-made cosplay.
Despite the comedic nature of the meme, El Arbi has a point. Promotional images often fail to capture the complete effect that a costume has while in motion. The harsh lighting and shadows in the original image may also lend a more fan-made feel to the costume, one that may be remedied with the more intricate and precise lighting reserved for cinematic productions. Obviously, Grace's performance as Batgirl will also have a significant impact on the costume's believability as well.
With Keaton confirmed to fulfill the role of Batman after Ben Affleck's departure from the role in 2022's The Flash, it remains unclear how Batgirl will tie into previous films in the DCEU chronology. Set photos have revealed that the events of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice are canon to an unknown extent – specifically the bombing of the U.S. capitol building by Lex Luthor . Significant changes are afoot in the DCEU, and Batgirl will be among the first productions to usher them in.
