Let’s face it. Between the WB’s Birds of Prey and Halle Berry as Catwoman, DC doesn’t have the best track record for bringing its heroines to the screen.
If you’re tired of waiting for a great female superhero on film, you’re not alone. Fans Sax Carr and Marisha Ray decided they couldn’t wait anymore; they filmed their own renegade web series entitled Batgirl: Spoiled.
Ray stars as Batgirl Stephanie Brown, whose life of privilege is turned upside down over the course of a dozen 7-10 minute episodes. The series will be directed by Damian Beurer and will also star Tara Strand (Unlucky Girl), Taliesin Jaffee (Hellsing), Bridget McManus (Wanted), Tara Platt (Naruto), and Chris Smith (Mortal Kombat vs DC).
The first trailer for the web-series was released Monday on Youtube and teases appearances by Catwoman, The Riddler, Harley Quinn, The Question (Renee Montoya), Poison Ivy, Batwoman, Commissioner Gordon, and Zatanna.
Is this Batgirl the hero Gotham deserves?
You be the judge.
