Batgirl: Leslie Grace's Brain Broke When She Learned She is Batgirl

Leslie Grace was just recently cast as Batgirl, and we have so many questions about the upcoming HBO Max film! When will the film release, what universe is it taking place in, and will we see any version of Batman? These are all things we don't know but hope to learn as work starts on Batgirl. The fans weren't the only ones who were excited to learn of the casting. Leslie Grace recently spoke to Variety, where she revealed exactly how she reacted. Leslie Grace's brain broke when she learned she's Batgirl. Can you really blame her though? My brain would also break if I learned I was going to be Batgirl!

Variety managed to get a hold of her at the  2021 MTV Video Music Awards, which she was attending. They asked her point-blank how she learned she was the new Batgirl for the HBO Max film.

"It was an incredible moment. When I mean incredible, I mean the textbook definition of, I could not believe it. My brain actually broke when I got the news. The directors actually called me, and the producers were on the line. They called me under the pretense or had me hop on a Zoom link under the pretense that I was doing a final test -- that this was just another step in the process. It was the middle of the day, and I was looking crazy, and they were like, 'Get on the phone really fast; this could be a final test or some news or something.' So I hop on, and I only see our two directors, Adil [El Arbi] and Bilall [Fallah], who are so sweet. They were like, 'Yeah, we just want to do this final test,' but at the bottom, I can see that there are eight participants, and it's recording, and I'm like, 'Alright, I don't know what this is.' And then they broke it to me like, 'We just want you to read this text; we're going to send it to your email.' And I open it and it says, 'I'm Batgirl, love Adil,' and my brain broke."

We know basically nothing else about the film, except that Grace will be Batgirl. A lot of people have theories, as you can imagine. With Jim Gordon being black in the upcoming The Batman, many are wondering if maybe Batgirl could tie into that film. Is Leslie Grace going to be Pattinson's Batgirl? That would definitely be interesting to see if you ask me. It also wouldn't be the most shocking move when you consider the fact that there is already one The Batman spin-off heading to HBO Max.

We'll have to wait and see, though. For now, let's just look forward to Batgirl!
