This girl:
As the quintessential Batgirl, Barbara Gordon,
For me, this means I am done suggesting Lily Collins as Batgirl, so this post is a farewell to me suggesting for 3 years, not so subtly, but hopefully not irritatingly, my thoughts that Lily Collins is the best actress for the part; I went far enough to reimagine a popular dream sequence from Twin Peaks as a premonition, farcically, but still, hopefully willing this casting pick into reality..
I still believe she should've been in contention at least, or in that so-called "short list"
; Leslie Grace is a relatively newcomer, so she has the opportunity to surprise everyone (we hope she does), but to me, Lily would've simply been Batgirl. She is Barbara Gordon.
In the same tradition of that Wonder Woman sequel I imagined that will not happen..
GoodKnight, Lily Collins as Batgirl:
I also have to say "Goodnight" to the possibilities..
