In new interview, DC Films executives Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, revealed Whedon's role may be even larger still.

"We bring people by, have general meetings and talk about comics and their favorite superhero movies," he said. "With Joss, he saw the master board, and he saw a Batgirl title and he said, 'You guys seriously want to do ‘Batgirl’?' And we said, 'Absolutely.' He said, 'That’s my jam.'”

While little is known about Whedon's Batgirl, other than that it will drawn from Gail Simone's New 52 run on the character, it's pretty safe to say Warner Bros. is aiming for a release sometime in 2019.
