Batgirl: Meet all the actresses who have played the heroine

Batgirl is one of the main heroines of DC comics, played by several actresses over the past 55 years.

This Tuesday, the Batgirl solo film was canceled by Warner Bros., for reasons that would have been motivated by conflicts over the size of the production in relation to others within the DC Universe. Thus, we will not see Leslie Grace in the iconic role of her, except for an image posted by the actress herself in the costume of the heroine.

But before Grace, many other actresses brought the character to life in several DC adaptations for film and TV.

Yvonne Craig

The first live-action Batgirl is also the most iconic. Yvonne Craig played Barbara Gordon in the third season of the “Batman” series, which aired between 1967 and 1968. Craig is considered by many to be “the last Batgirl”.

The actress then returned to play the character one last time, in the early 1970s, in a public service announcement calling for equal pay for men and women.

Decades after Yvonne Craig played Barbara Gordon in the “Batman” series, Batgirl hit theaters in 1997 as Alicia Silverstone in the “Batman & Robin” movie. In the 1997 film with George Clooney, Silverstone played Barbara Wilson, a variation of Batgirl.

A few years later, The WB television network launched the “Birds of Prey” series, in Brazil known as “Mulher Gato”. Debuting in 2002, the series centers on Helena Kyle, the Slayer, daughter of Batman and Catwoman, and the Oracle, who is none other than Barbara Gordon, played by Dina Meyer.

Despite having the role of Oracle in the series, after the Joker left the paraplegic heroine, the character was Batgirl in the past and is shown as the heroine in several flashbacks throughout the storyline.

Savannah Welch

The most recent Barbara Gordon is Savannah Welch, who plays the character of “Titans,” a series released in 2018 that is still in the works by DC Universe. Welch entered the show’s third season as Commissioner of Gotham and the Oracle, as she is confined to a wheelchair after losing a leg.

Welch has already made fun of fans and the media about appearing in flashbacks as Bargirl.
