Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will direct the 'Batgirl' movie.
The 'Bad Boys for Life' filmmaking duo have been tapped to helm the new film for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, which follows Barbara Gordon – the daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon.
A number of characters have played the superhero in the 'Batman' universe but Gordon is the most prominent even though the character debuted in the comics as Betty Kane in 1961.
On screen, Batgirl was played by Yvonne Craig in the 1960s TV series while Alicia Silverstone portrayed the character in the 1997 movie 'Batman & Robin', although she was butler Alfred Pennyworth's niece in that project.
