lesliegrace So, the Joker instead of shooting her in the hip ... Will he beat her with his knee to the neck?

lesliegrace Another Tokenized character.

lesliegrace bruh no- first of all, shes a ginger second of all the actress is a lil too old to play her- barbara is like a young adult i think-

lesliegrace Another race swap I'm good

lesliegrace Can she have red hair tho? Im not asking for much

lesliegrace 💙💙lesliegrace 💙💙💙

lesliegrace If you didn’t complain about it in Lego Batman🤫🤫🤫

lesliegrace Can't wait see you as Batgirl you will look so beautiful ❤️

lesliegrace Hope the movie won't be shit

lesliegrace Fantastic!!!

lesliegrace I feel like writers are sitting there with great ideas and idiots in charge just walk in and say 'let's change the old shit into black or trans, that'll make people happy' lol

lesliegrace Same shit over and over

lesliegrace

lesliegrace

lesliegrace Damn DC.... MakeTheBatfleckMovie

lesliegrace Just say you hate redhead, Hollywood. Race swap an existed redhead character will never live up or to be call the REAL batgirl. Add to another list of Hollywood discriminating against Redhead.

lesliegrace Likely a Body Type One (BT1).

lesliegrace So excited 😍

lesliegrace Yay!! as she should 3

lesliegrace Yo Warner Butchers what you gonna announce next,when we get some more Zack Snyder news

lesliegrace Not surprised they wanted to Blackwash character form day one

lesliegrace

lesliegrace without me , Hodson on script, no thanks. And that cast..

lesliegrace In which world is Leslie Grace a good actress ? I am laughing right now

lesliegrace Another idiotic casting from the WB! 🤦🏻‍♂️

lesliegrace Everything seems hard to be original recently👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

lesliegrace Okay! So excited for this! I’ve got my Batgirl from Veve VeVecollectibles

lesliegrace Surprising absolutely no one. They scream bloody murder about appropriation if other races get replaced, but we all know Gordon is an Irish cop. Ginger is the new black apparently.

lesliegrace This is why Marvel is winning - DC Comics and Warner Brothers sure hate natural redheads.

lesliegrace This is gonna be a lame movie another fail attempt WB don't know how to deliver what fans expecting from a DC based characters.

lesliegrace WB really need to read some comics...

lesliegrace There were 4 choices and WB chose her coz of her race. Such a Racist Studio wbpictures hbomax . The Shit goes on and on untill Toby Emmerich is Fired.

lesliegrace Another Great Character Destroyed Because Of Fucking DiVeRsItY 🤮. Zero Hope/Hype For The Movie 👎

lesliegrace Can't wait to see it. These super hero characters with no super powers are interesting

lesliegrace A forgetful era full of stupendously stupid and woke scripts, radical narratives, ideological vanity, plummeting viewership ratings, not because of Covid-19, but because of the above-mentioned pathogens.

lesliegrace JustinTj247

lesliegrace Congratulations girl! This ELF is so happy for you 😍 sending love 😘

lesliegrace yall she’s amazing please keep your opinions to yourself. thank you🥰🥰🥰

lesliegrace Ohmygod this comment section is so freaking rude and beyond Toxic! Like Leslie is Gorgeous &she can act, why do y'all gotta act like a$$hats and be so toxic?! I'll definitely watch Leslie as Batgirl I'm excited to see her play the character! 😍 CONGRATS lesliegrace! 😍💜😍💜

lesliegrace Is this its own thing? Part of DCEU? Part of Matt Reeves universe Part of something else entirely In any case.... can't wait🦇🖤🦇

lesliegrace The casting only makes sense if they are linking it to Pattison Batman . Personally I would’ve gone for Zoey Deutch who looks like Barbara for sure👍👍

lesliegrace You can't make a Batgirl film without Batman.. So is this going to be in Pattinson's universe? I doubt it because he's still in nis origins, unless they just say fuck it and pull a Venom. I have so many questions.

lesliegrace We’ve dealt with heavy whitewashing of characters of color, y’all can deal with ONE iteration of Barbara Gordon not being white

lesliegrace Damn, WB really hates white ginger female characters

lesliegrace So the racial change of characters continue 😄

lesliegrace Love it, she's gonna kill it! But why does DC fill the need to race swap EVERY ginger character in the DC universe. Does WB have something againt gingers? Sus

lesliegrace RestoreTheSnyderVerse

lesliegrace 😭😭😭😭😭😭

lesliegrace No, no and no

lesliegrace Chances it will do as well as the batgirl series.

lesliegrace When will there be casting for static shock

lesliegrace Congrats Leslie!! Supporting you always 👍🏽💙

lesliegrace Just. Keep. The. Red. Hair. Redhead Latin folk exists. Since more characters aren't being allowed to look like they jumped out the comics, when not in-suit, it's ok to get close. Redhead raceswaps should NOT avoid redheadness! Leslie Grace's Batgirl would look great with it!

lesliegrace ah yes, the breakout role from a movie the director and writer disowned....

lesliegrace As long as the suit is fine, all right, if they give you a good makeup and give you a good suit even better 'you never judge without seeing the true result' the same step with

lesliegrace Black Canary, Supergirl, and Batgirl. How about swapping Vixen, and Jessica Cruz too?

lesliegrace I know people still aren’t crying about the race of a comic book character in 2021

lesliegrace ouuuu!! 3

lesliegrace 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 bien ahí Leslie 😘😘

lesliegrace What am i missing with christina hodson?

lesliegrace But Zoey Deutch

lesliegrace

lesliegrace Should have cast the woman from 'Queen's Gambit '. She looks exactly like the character.

Bumblebee is a fun enough movie when it came to the character bonding with a awful ending but that’s par for the course with Most CBM so I don’t know if I’d hold that against her entirely

lesliegrace bad boys 4 life: 🗑 BOP writing: 🗑 not redhead: 🗑 yikes. keep it up wbpictures

lesliegrace The new latinx stars are shining in Hollywood

lesliegrace This is aids.

lesliegrace Can't wait to watch and support this... watch the man babies cry🤣🤣🤣

lesliegrace

lesliegrace Yeah. I’ll pass.

lesliegrace the least experienced actor got the role just because she worked on wb before

lesliegrace Woke DC

lesliegrace My question is what universe is this in ? Like I’m confused 😭 is it in main DCEU or Keaton ?

lesliegrace She has the look! TermsSet

lesliegrace I can't wait to see Leslie being great to it!!!

lesliegrace Is this a musical?

lesliegrace Can they please stop race swapping characters, if you're going to adapt them then at least adapt their appearance.

lesliegrace Gictional character... Yvonne wore a wig. Alicia was a blonde and Alfred's niece. It'll be fine people. It'll be fine.

lesliegrace Felicidades leslie 💙💙

lesliegrace And then this leads into a Batgirls film with Cass and Steph, right?

lesliegrace

lesliegrace DC has been great with their casting… let’s just hope the execution lands!

lesliegrace Hopefully it’s a musical

lesliegrace DC producers every time they require an actress for a new role

lesliegrace Marvel wins again. Creates an original character in miles morales while DC just gives us Latinos hand me downs. More like here shut up and be happy

lesliegrace I knew they’d go with who looks like Batgirl the least. When Kennedy McMann exists. I just was hoping for a redhead this time who’s Jim Gordon’s daughter. When Alicia Silverstone’s wasn’t a redhead or related to Jim Gordon. wbpictures

lesliegrace thisbrom

lesliegrace Oh look, more race swapping (and of course, she looks like a little boy). Pass.

lesliegrace QUEEN

lesliegrace Lets goooo 💜 Batgirl
