It's been confirmed that Savannah Welch is set to take on the role of Barbara Gordon in season three of Titans (which is now heading to HBO Max, and not the defunct DC Universe platform).
What you may not know about the actress is that she's an amputee, having lost one of her legs following an accident in 2016. She's since become a spokesperson for those in the disability community, though it's unclear whether Barbara Gordon will be portrayed as an amputee in the DC Comics series.
An official breakdown for the character in Titans describes her as, "Gotham City Police Commissioner. Uses a wheelchair. She used to be Batgirl until she was shot and paralyzed by the Joker. She has a combative relationship with Bruce Wayne. Her life gets more complicated when Dick Grayson returns to Gotham, rekindling their old romance and starting a new crime fighting partnership."
Now, Welch has taken to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes video which confirms that the former Batgirl will see at least some action in Titans. As you can see, the actress is working from a seated position.
Welch is clearly a tough-as-nails badass, so it should be fun to see what she brings to the role.
