Batgirl: Alicia Silverstone Reacts To Leslie Grace's New Costume
With Leslie Grace entering the DCEU as the latest iteration of Batgirl, Batman & Robin's Alicia Silverstone chimes in with her thoughts about the new costume. Barbara Gordon has been having quite the adventure in the world of live-action lately. 2021 saw the heroine return to television in Titans season 3, where Savannah Welch portrayed Commissioner Barbara Gordon, carrying on her father's legacy.

Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Batgirl will focus on the story of Barbara becoming Gotham City's latest protector.
Grace became the latest actress to don the cape and cowl for the first time since 1997's Batman & Robin. As played by Silverstone, Barbara was reimagined as Alfred Pennyworth's niece in this iteration.

Since then, Batgirl hasn't been back on the big screen, and was briefly on TV on the short-lived Birds of Prey series, with Dina Meyer's Barbara operating as Oracle. However, Grace will now be the one to bring the iconic hero back into the movie world after 25 long years. Following the big costume reveal for the HBO Max film, Silverstone has now become one of Grace's latest fans.
