Batgirl star Leslie Grace has taken to Instagram to share a first official look at Barbara Gordon fully suited-up as Gotham's other Caped Crusader!

Photos from the Glasgow, Scotland set of the HBO Max movie have been finding their way online all week, and it looks like Warner Bros. decided to get the jump on the leaked snaps by giving Grace the go-ahead to share this image. This probably means that more unofficial snaps are on the way, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates.

The costume is highly comic-accurate, and the design appears to be primarily inspired by the hero's look in the 2014 relaunch. There also seems to be a bit of Yvonne Craig's outfit from the classic '60s Batman TV series in there.

“I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me," Grace captioned her post. "And when their guard is down, and their pride is rising, let me kick their butts.” - Batgirl, Year One

Batgirl will also star J.K. Simmons as Jim Gordon, and Jacob Scipio and Brendan Fraser in undisclosed roles (the latter is believed to be playing the villainous Firefly). It's also been confirmed that Michael Keaton's Batman will appear.

Loki composer Natalie Holt recently announced that she's signed on to work on the movie's score, while Christina Hodson, who wrote Bumblebee and also worked on Birds of Prey and The Flash, penned the most recent draft of the script.

The HBO Max movie is being directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. No release date has been announced.

@PantherKing - idk, I think if this was Emma Stone or Margot Robbie or any of the white actresses fans have been wanting to see wearing this exact same suit, it would be breaking the internet right now.

@ElricReturns - Eh, I don't even really like this costume from the comics.

@DarkDetective - No, it could NOT have "been done worst [SIC]".

If this is HBO Max and a movie, the costume could have been better. PantherKing is right, you are wrong.

@ElricReturns - You're a racist. The suit sucks. If you think he's a racist, you have mental problems.

@Mandamanian - tell where Batgirl's suit touched you

@Mandamanian - It’s pretty much taken straight from the current comic run. I don’t know how it could’ve been done better. Like with all comic book movies, this will no doubt be her first attempt at a suit and she’ll likely get an upgrade at some point.

@Mandamanian - He didn't say they were racist. He said he thought people would be happier with a pale-skinned actress.

This is CW quality bad.

@Kurban -

'Fraid you're right. The suit has a similar leathery baggy texture.

@Kurban - It's comic accurate tho. At least with the recent comics

@Kurban - nah...this is straight from the comics
Kurban
Kurban - 1/14/2022, 9:13 PM
@KWilly - Yeah, the costume nobody liked in comparison to the superior black and yellow. Even then tho, that still looks better on Barbara there than the Dominican songwriter with the sullen cheeks we have here. She looks like a model cosplaying, not the actual character.

@KWilly - its like they make this redesigns in the comics to prepare poeple for the cinematic costumes...and then they fail to adapt their own designs

@DrReedRichards - for all the bad the cw batwoman seems to do, i think the costume looks great and i also like the birds of prey one but this is not bad for a homemade one

@TheShape9859 - Straight from the comics means nothing nowadays. We’re getting a [frick]ing Ironheart show ffs.

@Dannywest -

If it wasn't for the oversized yellow gloves, I think the latter of these suits would have been great. Better than the previous two, for sure.

@KWilly @TheShape9859 -
"Comic accurate" doesn't guarantee quality, though. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was very game accurate compared to the previous films, but it was so poorly-done that it didn't matter.

Fantastic Four (1994) was also the most comic accurate Fantastic Four movie and it was objectively the worst of the bunch.

@Kurban is obviously talking about the production values of the costume and it not looking good in general.

@Darkknight2149 - Yeah, I know, but I don't see the problem with this costume. Barbara makes her own costume (I'm gonna suppose), and this is a very realistic thing someone of her bank account would be able to make lol.

@KWilly -

It’s literally the same thing, I don’t understand people’s complaints.

She’s obviously getting an upgrade once she has access to Bruce’s gadgets, arsenal, bank roll etc.

@DrReedRichards - Its as accurate as you can get though.

Plus once she meets Batman, she’s definitely getting an upgrade.
