Why Joss Whedon Has Left DC's Batgirl Movie

Why Joss Whedon Has Left DC's Batgirl Movie

After lending his talents to the Marvel Cinematic Universe by directing The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, Joss Whedon made the jump to DC Extended Universe by writing new scenes for Justice League and overseeing the movie's post-production and reshoots after Zack Snyder departed. But before that happened, Whedon was already set to write and direct a Batgirl movie, but he has just announced that he's leaving that project due to story troubles. The creative mind said in a statement:

Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn't have a story. I'm grateful to Geoff [Johns] and Toby [Emmerich] and everyone who was so welcoming when I arrived, and so understanding when I... uh, is there a sexier word for 'failed'?

Joss Whedon announced his exit from Batgirl to THR, saying that while he was eager to work on Barabra Gordon's standalone adventure, ultimately he just wasn't able to come up with a compelling tale. It was announced in March 2017 that Whedon was working on Batgirl, but after nearly a full year, he was unable to "crack the code" of what a Batgirl movie should be. Another issue that reportedly popped up was the possible public scrutiny that might have emerged from Whedon, a white man, overseeing Batgirl given the character's "feminist importance," similar to what likely would have happened if a white director had helmed Black Panther. Last June also saw the release of the Patty Jenkins-directed Wonder Woman, which was met with critical acclaim and became a cultural phenomenon. With Batgirl being one of DC's most popular superheroines, Warner Bros undoubtedly wants her upcoming movie to be handled as properly as possible.

After Justice League's release last November, it was rumored that Warner Bros had let Joss Whedon go from Batgirl following the fifth DCEU movie's underwhelming critical and commercial performance. That rumor was later debunked, but months later, now we know for certain that Whedon's time with Batgirl is over. Aside from Whedon's Batgirl movie supposedly being inspired by Gail Simone's New 52 Batgirl comic book run as a "starting point," few details emerged about the project's development. It's unclear if despite no longer working on Batgirl, Whedon will still be considered for other DC movies, but given his extensive body of work, I suspect he won't have trouble finding a new creative endeavor.

It was reported earlier this week that Batgirl is one of the DC movies that will likely be immediately released after Wonder Woman 2, but with Joss Whedon's departure, we'll have to wait and see if that remains the plan or if Warner Bros and DC will delay it so that there's more time to find a new creative mind to bring it to life. Batgirl was last seen in a live action theatrical setting being played by Alicia Silverstone in 1997's Batman & Robin, while Rosario Dawson voiced the character for last year's The LEGO Batman Movie.

Batgirl is one of the many Bat-related DCEU movies in developments, with other including The Batman, Nightwing and Gotham City Sirens. To learn more about those projects and ones not connected to the Bat-Family, look through our DC movies guide.

What Aardman Looks For When Casting Its Movies, According To Early Man's Nick Park

What Aardman Looks For When Casting Its Movies, According To Early Man's Nick Park

Early Man, the new stop-motion animated film from Aardman Animations, features a seriously impressive cast. Not only does it have Academy Award-winner Eddie Redmayne playing the lead, but features a supporting cast full of names like Tom Hiddleston, Maisie Williams, Timothy Spall, and Richard Ayoade. Given the talents of these individuals, it's probably not too much of a surprise that they are involved with the film, but as I recently learned from director Nick Park, hiring them wasn't just about having a big list of names for the credits. Said Park,

The casting has always been so important to us. From our early days when we first did animation, and for me, like with Creature Comforts and Wallace and Gromit. Each actor is kind of handpicked for some extraordinary quality they have that they can bring. Maybe just a quality, obviously their acting ability is key, but it's usually something else that makes them extraordinary.

With Early Man in theaters this weekend, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nick Park earlier this month to talk about the ins and outs of making the latest feature from Aardman Animation, and it was towards the end of our chat that I asked him about the process building the cast. It was in his response that he offered there was a special quality about each of the stars that let him know that they were ultimately the right choice of the roles he put them in for the film.

Thankfully, Nick Park wasn't without some examples either. In the movie, Thor star Tom Hiddleston plays the villainous Lord Nooth -- who fans will recognize has a very different accent than the natural one of its star. The fact that Hiddleston was not only able to pull off a wonderful French inflection, but many different vocal styles, was something that Park actually discovered watching television late one night, seeing his future star on a talk show. Said the filmmaker,

Tom Hiddleston was magnificent; he can do any impression. I saw him on a talk show in the UK, the Graham Norton Show, doing a Robert De Niro impression, and I thought, 'Hmmmmm. Maybe if I approach him...' and he was really up for it... It's a wonderful privilege for me now, with the backlog of work to be able to go to anyone and ask them with a chance they might do it. It's nice!

Aardman Animations certainly has one hell of a track record going back to 2000 when they made their feature debut with Nick Park's Chicken Run. Since then they've made some immensely successful and award-winning films, and certainly that clout helps them close deals -- but it's fun to know that it's not just about the size of a star that makes them a proper fit for an Aardman project.

Early Man, which is the seventh feature from Aardman Animations, arrives in theaters this Friday, February 16th.
