With Titans heading to Dick and Jason’s home city during its upcoming third season, Variety reported this morning that the HBO Max series has cast Savannah Welch in the role of Barbara Gordon. When the Titans arrive, the former Batgirl will be serving as Gotham’s police commissioner, having hung up the cowl after being shot and paralyzed by the Joker. Much like her path in the comics, Barbara will be confined to a wheelchair (though whether she’ll have an alternate persona as Oracle isn’t yet known). Described as having a combative relationship with Bruce Wayne, Barbara’s life gets more complicated when Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) returns to Gotham, rekindling their old romance and starting a new crimefighting partnership.
Welp, it’s about time. Been waiting so long to find out who was gonna’ be the third to take up the live-action mantle of Barbara Gordon. YAY! My gurrrl’s comin’ back! YEAH!
Alrighty then- let’s light this candle and get things started HBOMax.
Thx for the heads up Amazing @Mae. #GirlBatsGottaStickTogether
I’ve been dying for a new live action Barbara! This is very exciting! I’m not so crazy about her being the police commissioner though, I prefer librarian Babs personally. Certainly not surprised about the love triangle angle though.
