Well, at the very least, we know the Batgirl movie will feature some damn good music!

Loki composer Natalie Holt has taken to Twitter to announce that she signed on to work on the score for the HBO Max project, which will reintroduce Barbara Gordon to the DCEU. Many consider Loki to be the best Disney+ Marvel series yet, and a big part of what made it so special was Holt's stirring, sci-fi-inspired score.

Holt's other TV credits include Deadwater Fell, Sticks and Stones, and Beecham House. On the big screen, she's worked on the scores for the likes of Kindred, Herself, and Paddington.

We recently learned that Leslie Grace had landed the role of Barbara Gordon in the upcoming Batgirl feature after testing for the part alongside the likes of Isabella Merced, Zoey Deutch, and Haley Lu Richardson.

Bad Boys For Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are set to helm the DC Comics adaptation. Christina Hodson, who wrote Bumblebee and also worked on Birds of Prey and The Flash, penned the most recent draft of the script.

J.K. Simmons is reportedly in talks to reprise the role of Babs' father, Jim Gordon, but his involvement is yet to be made official.

@BritishMonkey - With the fabulous advances in tech I'm surprised that hasn't come up yet? They could make it almost an Alien or Quiet Place like franchise easily I think.

@The1st - if someone hired me to do it I'd make a Metroid film in a snap.

Wait… HBO Max movie? Does that mean it won’t have a theatrical release?

@slickrickdesigns - WB continues to make interesting choices. Batgirl and Blue Beetle deserve big screen appearances. Heck, I would even say Batgirl could take over as the main Bat-character instead of Keaton as the main Batman

@grif - gotchya, but I already got the service… I’m just surprised they wouldn’t want to try capitalizing on Batgirl in theaters first seeing how they already have a batwoman tv show.

@bkmeijer - yeah, some weird decisions being made at WB/DC/HBOMax

@slickrickdesigns - I think solo films for lower-tier characters will go to HBO Max while the bigger characters and team-ups head to the big screen.

I still think they're low-key setting up the next JL.

I like the idea of direct to HBO Max movies set in the DCEU. Smaller scale in budget and giving more power to directors

I had no idea this was a HBO Max movie and not a movie movie. I guess i wasn't following that closely.

Loki has one of my favorite Marvel scores so this is a great grab for WB/DC. Natalie Holt, as well as Hildur Gudnadottir, needs to score more movies.

Loki had the best ost outta the MCU D+ shows, so nice.

@Doomsday8888 - I mean, not a high hurdle. MCU's Achilles Heel are their scores.

(Though not taking away from Loki's score; That was quite good.)

Really liked the music in Loki. Definitely helped sell the mood and atmosphere of the show. Hope it can do the same for Batgirl (which should be a big screen movie imo)

I'm okay with Batgirl starting as an independant hero, but I'd be happy if they acknownledge Michael Keaton's Batman during a post-credit scene or something. The girl is just running wild on the streets using his symbol to fight crime and he would let her do it without at least meeting her, either to dissuade her or to train her out of fear that she might get herself killed.

Not to say anything about being a crimefighter in Gotham City, there is a lot of things seen and said that could break anyone or make them vomit out of disgust and fear. A lot of the most deranged psychopaths and true monsters. She is just a teenage girl trying to do good but she might not be ready to face the true face of Gotham without a little guidance on the long term.

She is so wickedly talented, this is such a good hire.

Hopefully her talents come back to Marvel at some point, sooner than later. Loki's score was beautiful.
