I have so many thoughts about the Batgirl movie

So Joss Whedon is in talks to direct/write/produce a Batgirl film. The film will be based on the "New 52" incarnation of the character.

This strikes me as such a stupid, idiotic, numbskull, insane, moronic decision.

• Joss Whedon is known to Fans Of A Certain Age (hi) as the genius behind Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. This sounds encouraging, but Joss Whedon is also the guy who made Dollhouse, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the script for Alien Resurrection.
• The "New 52" was a colossal mistake and the comics are literally right now in the process of fixing it. But more specifically for our purposes, it is beyond illogical to follow a "too dark" Batfilm with a Batfilm where the main protagonist is suffering from heavy PTSD. 

And you're also going to annoy a portion of the fanbase that believes that films about women must be directed by women. I disagree but I'm throwing that out there anyway because hey, maybe something will stick.

Don't do it. This twerp thought audiences wanted a Hulk/Widow romance where Widow thought she was a monster because she couldn't have children. Don't do it because the New 52 is the last segment of Batgirl's 50-year history (other than, y'know, The Killing Joke itself) you want audiences to see when you need to make your franchise lighter and softer.

Don't do it because to my generation, Cass is Batgirl - but that is the last and least reason not to do it.

Just don't do it.
