Warner Bros. has cast actor Leslie Grace as the lead in its new DC movie Batgirl, bringing Barbara Gordon to the big screen - and bringing her full circle from her origins as a character created for the '60s Batman TV show.
That's right - before she was a comic book icon with her own legacy and decades of stories under her belt, Barbara Gordon started out as a glimmer in the eyes of '60s Batman TV producer William Dozier, who envisioned a female hero to expand the show's cast and form a trio alongside Adam West's Batman and Burt Ward's Robin.
