Leslie Grace Releases New Batgirl Behind-The-Scenes Footage
Leslie Grace, successful Latin musician and star of the hit film In the Heights, has shared behind-the-scenes footage from the recently canned Warner Bros. Batgirl film, in which she was cast as the lead. The behind-the-scenes footage was uploaded after Warner Bros. management scrapped the nearly completed film.
Based on the comic book character and occasional Batman sidekick of the same name from DC comics, the Batgirl movie was set to chronicle the adventures of Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon, a longtime ally of Batman. Sharing her father’s sense of justice but not his commitment to the authorities, she takes up a more direct role in helping Batman fight crime. The character is very well-loved, and many fans saw Batgirl as important. However, fans would never get to see the movie for themselves, as its planned HBO Max release was scrapped at the whim of CEO David Zaslav, who favored more of a spectacle for the DCEU's future releases.

Over the weekend, Grace took to the social media platform TikTok to post 2 separate montages of her time working on the project, one backed by Omar Apollo's «Evergreen» and the other with a song written and performed by the star herself. In the videos, fans can see the actress in makeup, goofing around backstage, and even pulling off some impressive combat choreography, making it clear why Batgirl supposedly got a positive reception from its first test audiences. The captions were also quite moving, with the talented performer saying in one that she couldn’t resist and explaining in the other that she had written the song before she knew what was in store for her.
