Leslie Grace's Batgirl Gets Bloody in New Set Photos

By Jenna Anderson

Filming is currently underway on DC's Batgirl movie, and there's absolutely a lot of excitement to see Leslie Grace's take on Barbara Gordon / Batgirl. The In the Heights actress has already courted a lot of hype around her portrayal, especially after the official first look at her costume was released last week. As production on the project continues in Glasgow, the Internet is continuing to be dotted with set photos and videos of Grace as Barbara — including some pretty detailed new photos of her in costume. The photos, which you can check out below, show Grace in the Batgirl costume with a bloody nose.

Batgirl is directed by Bad Boys for Life's Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi, with a script written by Christina Hodson, whose work includes Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and the upcoming The Flash movie. The film is expected to see JK Simmons reprising his role as Commissioner James Gordon, Michael Keaton reprising his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman, Brendan Fraser joining the cast as Firefly, and Jacob Scipio, Rebecca Front, Corey Johnson, and Ethan Kai cast in currently-unknown roles.

"This is only my second role, but I'm learning from my colleagues and other friends of mine that you put a little bit of yourself into each character," Grace explained in an interview last year. "And just in the bit of research that I've been doing leading into pre-production, I've learned a lot of things about Barbara that are very in line with me."

"She's someone who's been underestimated by even her own dad and being the youngest kid, sometimes you're insulated from all of the tough stuff of life and she's so eager to prove to herself and to everybody else that there's some things that she can handle," Grace continued. "So, this journey is definitely going to show me a lot of that. I feel like I'm on an endless journey of proving to myself what barriers I can break, what limits I can break for myself and I'm excited to put a little bit of that eagerness and drive and, like, almost a bit of stubbornness into Barbara's character."
