Batgirl Suit Revealed by Actress Portraying Superheroine in New Movie

Batgirl is a name which has been used by several superheroines who are female counterparts to the DC superhero Batman. The movie about Batgirl is due to hit the screens later in 2022.

Actress Leslie Grace who portrays Batgirl in the forthcoming HBO movie dedicated to the superheroine shared a first glimpse of herself in the suit.

She captioned the photo with the lines from the comic book miniseries "Batgirl: Year One".

"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", the caption reads.

The suit appears to be dark blue with a touch of yellow on the belt and the cape, along with the iconic bat-shaped mask.

“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.”

However, the superheroine's look seems to have divided opinions: some users praised the choice of Batgirl's outfit as fitting with the comic canons, but others blasted it as a throwback to the age of low-budget TV shows about superheroes.

I know what that suit is supposed to be based off but I wish it was black instead of purple. pic.twitter.com/RrMpoW8h2j

It's literally ripped off the comic book page. I swear, some comic book movie fans can be so ridiculous. Not sure what you were expecting. It's her FIRST suit. I think she looks dope. If the fighting is good, it won't even matter. pic.twitter.com/hrfzm8HIsp
