Warner Bros. and DC Films' Batgirl movie is finally moving forward thanks to the addition of Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah.

According to THR, Arbi and Fallah will direct based on a script from Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and The Flash scribe Christina Hodson. It's also noted that the film is being targeted for an HBO Max release as opposed to theatrical.

"With Batgirl, we hope to take the audience on a fun ride and see a different side of Gotham," producer Kristin Burr said. "Christina’s script is crackling with spirit. Adil and Bilall have an excited and joyous energy which is infectious, making them the perfect filmmakers for this Batproject. And I’m just psyched I get to be part of the DC universe, which is super cool."

Batgirl was announced in March 2017, at which time it was said that Joss Whedon would write, direct and produce the film, taking inspiration from the New 52 incarnation of Barbara Gordon. There was little movement on the project in the months that followed, but in February 2018, it was announced that Whedon had departed and the following April, Hodson was tapped to pen the script. Things then went silent once more until March 2021, when Batgirl logo appeared during the DC portion of AT&T's Analyst & Investor Day 2021 presentation.
