>Begins with young Barbara Gordon in ballet class. She sees the martial arts class across the street through a window and sneaks in, where she meets Jason Bard and Alysia Yeoh. With the help of her photographic memory, she uses some moves she saw to take down a bully.
>Barbara’s parents Jim (J.K. Simmons) and Sarah pick her up from class and Sarah convinces Jim to take Barbara on patrol, where he is ambushed and almost killed by a gang before Batman saves him, which amazes Barbara.
>Later, Jim hears a call over the radio saying his house is on fire. He arrives to see his home in flames and Sarah screaming in the window. He struggles to get inside just as the front door explodes, knocking him out. Barbara walks in and sees a large man before passing out.
>On present day, Barbara (Leslie Grace) works a desk job at the GCPD, with Jim being retired as he suffered a heart attack. She often stays at home to take care of him, while also spending time with Alysia (Ivy Aquino), who is now a bartender, and Jason (Ethan Kai), who is now a firefighter and has a crush on Barbara. She wants to become a patrol officer, but Jim won’t let her.
>Meanwhile, explosives expert Ted Carson (Brendan Fraser) works at a grocery story to pay for his sick wife’s medication, but is fired for his temper. Carson tries to get his old job with the Bressi crime family back, but is rejected by former boss Sal Bressi (Corey Johnson), who is now running for mayor. Carson burns down a pharmacy for wife’s medication.
>Barbara dyes her hair red and attends a Halloween party hosted by Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). She wears a Batman costume, while Jim shows up wearing his normal trenchcoat with a sign on the back saying "nudist on strike." Killer Moth and his gang break into the party to rob the attendants.
>Barbara drops from the ceiling and fights the goons along with Bruce, even saving his life. Killer Moth escapes but is later incinerated by Carson, since Killer Moth was on Bressi's hit list. Carson takes his grill and brings it back to the Bressi as proof of his kill, and Bressi rehires him as his enforcer Firefly, but will only pay him once he’s killed everyone on Bressi’s list.
>Later, Barbara visits Alysia at her bar. She asks if Barbara dyed her hair red to be like Batgirl, as other people did after the news of her appearance at the party. She plays along not to seem suspicious, and realizes she loves being a vigilante and saving others.
>Barbara breaks into the GCPD evidence locker using her photographic memory and retrieves an old Batarang and other supplies, which she uses to make her own Batsuit. She goes on patrol for the first time. Batman appears and tells her to stop being a vigilante, then drives off in the Batmobile. Barbara is able to steal his grapple gun in the process.
>Barbara begins to investigate Firefly as he eliminates Bressi’s enemies, and suspects he was the one who killed her mother. In the process, she meets and becomes involved with Anthony Bressi (Jacob Scipio), Sal’s son who refuses to join the family business and runs a homeless shelter, straining Barbara’s friendship with Jason.
>Gordon emasculated
>Batman emasculated
2 posts in and I have to drop the movie
>Black person steals from fricking batman
>Barbara is upset with her dad when he says he didn't see anyone in their apartment on the night her mother died. She lights up the Bat-signal to ask Batman for help, but he encourages her to solve it on her own, impressed by how far she has come already. Firefly attempts to kill Jim, but Batgirl saves him and figures out Firefly was a firefighter.
>Barbara attempts to retrieve Carson’s files, but they were already taken by Jim, who had been investigating Carson himself and learned the head of the Gotham City Fire Department was corrupt and on Bressi’s payroll. Bressi then sent Firefly to kill Jim, but he ended up killing Sarah instead. Barbara asks Jason for help, and they expose the corrupt GCFD chief. Meanwhile, Carson’s wife dies, he blames Bressi, goes crazy and decides to burn Gotham down.
>Firefly crashes Bressi’s mayoral speech and burns him to death, then sets off explosives he planted underground. Batgirl chases him on her bike, but he escapes as there is fire bursting out from the sewer grates. Jason arrives with a fire truck to help, but Firefly commandeers it. Jason tries to fight but Firefly hits him in the leg with an axe, then begins spraying fire everywhere.
>Batgirl manages to catch up and fights Firefly on top of the truck, which crashes. Barbara and Jason jump off in time, while Carson is badly injured. Batgirl chases him into the docks and reveals that he killed her mother. Firefly apologizes, saying it was an accident, and it was Sarah’s death that motivated him to attempt to go straight.
>She lights up the Bat-signal to ask Batman for help, but he encourages her to solve it on her own, impressed by how far she has come already.

>Batgirl prepares to arrest Firefly when Anthony arrives with his father's men. While Batgirl fights them, he shoots Firefly in the head to avenge his father. Barbara is heartbroken that Anthony has decided to follow in on his father’s footsteps and, as Batgirl, vows to stop him one day. Anthony later reaches out to Barbara, but she ends their relationship.
>On Christmas, Barbara, Jim, Jason and Alysia are celebrating together, and Barbara and Jason have gotten closer. Jim decides Barbara can become a patrol officer, but Barbara declines since she can use the database from her desk job to catch criminals.
>Barbara sets up a base of operations in an abandoned clock tower. Batman arrives, asking if she is ready to be a hero. She accepts and he gives her a new armored suit. Batman and Batgirl talk about how they have been alone for so long, and bond over their traumatic lives. She challenges him to a race, playfully calling him “old man.” They get on a gargoyle and jump off together, gliding through Gotham City as the movie ends.
Sounds really boring and gay. Glad it got shelved.
>BATGIRL plot leak
batgirl? More like NIGGIRL AHAHAHAHHAHA
I think it's for the best that this stays shelved. The only good thing that could come of releasing it is if we get a funny Xmen Origins Woverine style leak where the effects are unfinished
imagine prepping and filming a movie for a year, believing it to be your big break, and having test audiences hate it so much that the studio, who had already shelled out tens of millions of dollars, burn it instead of release it. how does one recover from this?
>agreeing to make a super hero movie in [current year] in the first place
mistaaaaake
>having test audiences hate it so much
Test-audiences didn't hate it, though.
>how does one recover from this?
By ticking all the DEI boxes and therefore get handed yet another paycheck and project to crash into the ground
>and Sarah convinces Jim to take Barbara on patrol
So did her dumb c**t mother forget she lives in Gotham?
Should have just adapted the comic where Batgirl fights a troony impersonating her
>Barbara walks in and sees a large man
Bane confirmed?
A large man? maybe a big guy?
>"red headed" Black person
Get the frick out of here with that fricking trash. Frick the film and TV industry.
Only thing I hate is we don't get to see Brendan's performance. But on the other hand if the film is that dogshit maybe it would have hurt his career resurgence. Who knows.
leaving this here. this is the guy running dc with james gunn right now.
>the movie was shit, but i need to be diplomatic about it
>Movie almost completely shot
>Studio shelves it indefinitely
With all the horrendous shit they've allowed to air just imagine how bad this was
It's not Batgirl without a few bondage scenes, a hypno scene, and a chloroform scene.
