The Batgirl solo film is set to stream on HBO Max. This will make it the first major project to debut exclusively on the streaming service. The film will be directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, with Christina Hodson on scriptwriting duties and Kristin Burr producing.

Little is known about the plot, but we do know that the version we’ll see is Barbara Gordon. She is the daughter of popular Batman character Commissioner Gordon and joins the caped crusader in his efforts to keep Gotham City safe.
