Batgirl villain Firefly has been teased in a number of set photos, but the latest image finally gives a good full look at his costume. Brendan Fraser was announced to be playing the villain of the HBO Max movie last year, with several images of the actor on set having been posted on social media in his regular attire. Still, everyone has been eager to get a look at what he is going to look like in his full Firefly suit. With production still continuing in Scotland, Batgirl Film News on Twitter has shared new shots taken of just that to give a first glimpse of Firefly’s costume and mask.

Batgirl will see the titular heroine being portrayed for the first time since Alicia Silverstone took on the role in Batman & Robin 25 years ago. Played by Leslie Grace, Batgirl will be seen taking on Fraser’s Firefly as he burns his way around Gotham City and will be joined in the movie by J.K. Simmons as her father Jim Gordon, and returning original big-screen Batman Michael Keaton. So far, all images of Gordon and Batman on set have shown Simmons’ GCPD Commissioner looking younger than in his Justice League appearance, which has led many to believe Keaton’s appearances in the movie will be in flashbacks.

The latest images focussing on Fraser’s Firefly don’t help solve the Batman conundrum but at least gives fans a good idea of what to expect from his villain when the movie arrives on HBO Max. The scene in the new shots shows Fraser’s stunt double working on top of a fire engine, suggesting that there will be a number of pyrotechnics used in the final cut of the scene that required a double to be used. Having been spotted only in civilian clothing until this point, it is unclear whether this will be the only Firefly costume used in the film or whether it will evolve even more over the scope of the movie.

Batgirl Expected to Arrive In December Following The Release of The Flash in November

Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. DCEU is relatively undefined in direction, with several movies coming in the next couple of years that seem to be connected by only the thinnest of threads. This year sees the release of Black Adam starring the Rock, who has frequently said his character is coming to “change the hierarchy of the DCEU," even though most people are not certain what that hierarchy even is anymore, as well as The Flash in November, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in December and Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Blue Beetle arriving in 2023, with Wonder Woman 3 somewhere beyond that.

Batgirl releasing on HBO Max in December would be interesting primarily for its inclusion of Michael Keaton’s Batman, who is set to feature prominently in The Flash. While there have been rumors suggesting that Erza Miller’s solo Flash movie will act as some kind of reset for the DCEU, the actor has refuted those claims, but it is clear that the multiverse spanning film will have a lasting impact on the DCEU of the future. Even Aquaman star Patrick Wilson recently mentioned in an interview that the Jason Momoa-starring sequel “has its place in the multiverse” suggesting that Warner Bros. is finally about to try and bring some order to their house. All will be revealed in good time, seemingly by the end of the year.
