Batgirl Leslie Grace has tweeted the first publicity photo of herself as Batgirl in uniform.
Actress Leslie Grace strikes a pose in the titular character’s official costume for her upcoming film. The design is based on the latest revision in the comics. Rather than a form-fitting spandex suit or rubber-molded bodysuit, this uniform is patterned purple leather.
“Batgirl” – The Costume, The Cast, and The Platform
The shade is an homage to the late Yvonne Craig’s costume from the 1966Â Batman television series. The costume made its debut in the second New 52 series and was designed by Brenden Fletcher.
“I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me…
And when their guard is down, and their pride is rising, let me kick their butts.”

Grace added in her tweet a line from the Batgirl: Year One miniseries: “I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimates [me. And] when their guard is down, and their pride is rising, let me kick their butts.”
Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Batgirl will also feature Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman after his return to that role in The Flash, and J.K. Simmons as her father, Police Commissioner James Gordon. Simmons last appeared as Gordon in both the Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder cuts of Justice League and recently was seen as J. Jonah Jameson in the blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home. Brendan Fraser (Doom Patrol) is set to appear as Garfield Lynz/Firefly, and Jacob Sipicio, whose role has yet to be revealed. The screenplay was written by Birds of Prey‘s Christina Hodson, who likens her take on Barbara Gordon as a journey of self-discovery. “[In this story,] she’s discovering Batgirl for the first [time. It’s a] side of herself that’s more daring and slightly less normal that we just get to let out and have fun with.”
The film is set to debut on HBO Max some time this year.
