A rumor recently did the rounds which claimed that the upcoming third season of DC Universe's Titans would introduce a small-screen take on Barbara Gordon, and that's now been confirmed.

During a Q&A, Titans cinematographer Boris Mojsovski revealed that the popular DC Comics character would indeed make her debut during the next run of episodes, but she won't be suiting up as Batgirl. Instead, Babs will adopt the Oracle mantle she took on in the comics after being paralyzed by The Joker in Alan Moore's controversial The Killing Joke.

The original report added that Gordon would serve as "the Commissioner of the GCPD following the passing of her late father," but Mojsovski didn't mention that. We have heard that casting is already underway, and that DC Universe is said to be looking at "actresses that use wheelchairs for the role."

Mojsovski also confirmed that Ian Glenn will return as Bruce Wayne, and that the opening action sequence of the first episode will take place in Gotham.

Like pretty much every other big and small screen project, production on Titans season 3 has paused, and now premiere date has been specified.

Are you guys looking forward to a new live-action incarnation of Barbara Gordon? Who do you think would be a good fit for the role? Let us know in the comments down below.

@MMFRESHSW2 - I’m not mad that she won’t physically be fighting people. She was always more useful as Oracle than Batgirl, anyway

Great. She'll be good for one season and then become an absolute shit character in the next.

I've got season 2 stored up to watch. Liked season 1, is 2 better or worse? I heard the first episode is weak.

@MarvelousMarty - I thought season 2 was better... Can't wait for season 3!

@MarvelousMarty - Most of season 2 is better in my opinion. But everything just completely falls apart in the last episode which kinda ruins the whole season and makes season 1 look better. So it's a tough call which is better

@MarvelousMarty - hey duder, I'm a HUGE DC fan and It's just kinda meh in my mind. Kinda like BOP was, small adjustments could have made big positive changes. Deathstroke is always cool but he was so minor. This show, two seasons in just doesn't 'click'. Doom Patrol clicked. It had it's moments sure, but it worked all together.

This show hasn't found its feet yet it feels and with some creative liberties they've chosen for some characters, fans may find that frustrations comes before it finds it's footing IMO.

"actresses that use wheelchairs for the role"

Do they mean people who know how to use wheelchairs? Or people with disabilities?

If it's the latter if would be hard to do any flashback scenes like Titans are usually fond of

@Nightwing1015 - well i guess they can use a younger actress for the batgirl flashbacks, really depends on how long she has been oracle
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 4/3/2020, 10:11 AM
@dracula - Still I didn't even know there were any wheelchair bound actors. I literally can't name any now that I think about it.

It also seems weird to intentionally limit who you can cast when you don't need to.
dracula
dracula - 4/3/2020, 10:48 AM
@Nightwing1015 - completely agree, seriously its acting, you are never going to see a blind actor as Daredevil.

@Nightwing1015 - Wheelchair stuntmen

I hope this means we'll see a better version of the Birds of Prey as a result.

dracula - 4/3/2020, 10:02 AM
@Wildling - well we basically are getting birds of prey on cw, they just arent calling it birds of prey

Let's hope they don't go the Bruce Timm route. It'd be extra creepy with their grandpa version of Batman.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - depends how old they make Barbara, in early comics wasnt she closer to bruce’s age than dicks

Not sure how I feel about this entire show. I really want to like it but after two Seasons I'm still waiting for it to click. I like moments but I sense Johns is taking too long to get to the characters we want. Add in some very bad casting and I'm just struggling with it.

This doesn't spell good news for any iteration for a big screen debut which is too bad.

@Tufasrox - yeah the show has its problems, best dc universe show is doom patrol

I really hope they step up with season 3. Anything involving Hank, Dawn, Robin and Rose was really boring and the rest was pretty mediocre.

@MalseMarcel - wonder how far they will go with the scifi stuff, considering blackfire is the big bad

Julian Richings to play Joker in a flashback. An old Joker for Iain Glen's Batman.

Is this series worth watching? I just finished The Man In Highcastle. It was awesome, but I liked the antagonists more than boring lead.
