So it looks like anti-Trump and all around d-bag Joss Whedon is set to direct a standalone “Batgirl” film:

According to Variety, Whedon’s deal would be to write, direct and produce the film:
Whedon is nearing a deal to write, direct, and produce an untitled Batgirl pic for Warner Bros. as part of its DC Extended Universe.
No other producers are currently attached. Toby Emmerich, president and chief content officer of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, is overseeing with Jon Berg and Geoff Johns. The new project originated in the past month.
Great. Who’s up for the most politicized super-hero movie ever?
Joss Whedon's Batgirl.. Fighting the Batriarchy one Trump voting Frog headed villain at a time.

I'm sure this won't be political and awful at all. https://t.co/uFhHLzAdiz

And what happened to hiring more female directors for female roles?
@Variety @joss when are they gonna give female characters to female directors with much more realistic look over women? Look at what he did to Black Widow

Whedon is good at writing/directing strong female characters. But I'd rather have a real life female be the writer/director of Batgirl.

I agree that we should have more women directing superhero(ine) movies but also think a Whedon Batgirl movie will be fun, don't @ me.

FUCK YES BABS but also, couldn't you get a female director? Buffy was great in '97 but Joss won't cut it anymore. SO MANY MIXED FEELINGS. https://t.co/BtMF5eoUFl

Oh, well. We’re sure if Whedon gives Batgirl armpit hair everything will be fine:

Exit question: Should everyone boycott the film after 1) all of the nasty things he said since the election and 2) because Whedon’s isn’t a chick?
