THE WORST BATGIRL

[@mechajay3358]

Making Barbra related to Alfred is still one of the most mind-numbing decisions that movie made. Still, Alice looked really good in the suit.

[@altalia07]

Yeah she's super pretty

[@LBF522]

[@rascoehunter3608]

The budget was $125 million and they couldn't make a slightly bigger suit.

[@GregOrCreg]

@@rascoehunter3608 I honestly don't think there's anything wrong in diplomatically asking an actor to maintain a certain weight during a production, and suspending filming to help them maintain that weight, if necessary, or shoot around it. After all, films, especially action and superhero films, are based on visuals, and, tbf, Batgirl, like Batman, Robin and Catwoman, is meant to be the pinnacle of fitness. What is NOT remotely acceptable is *mocking* a young, borderline teenage, woman for being 'fat' (not that Alicia was remotely 'fat'), and it's particularly egregious when it's a colleague who you should be able to trust, and he's passing around illustrations to fellow crew members demeaning you that way. It's not only cruel, it's unprofessional.

[@TheAngelinaSummer]

Alicia looked hot in the suit! Fat where?

[@GregOrCreg]

I agree. It doesn't show up on any of the footage we see, whatsoever. The suggestion is that any scenes of her where she's 'overweight' were edited out, but, once again, I'm sceptical, not least because Alicia has long been a vegetarian/vegan, so it's hard to know what she'd be eating to put on the pounds. Probably just some bs cruelty to make a young woman/borderline teenager look bad.

[@GregOrCreg]

@@WonderlanderRaye Alicia has alluded to herself being on the 'big side' before, but, once again, I don't see it. If it's true, maybe it's her genes or glandular, because it's not like she's eating tonnes of calories if she's vegetarian/vegan.

[@GregOrCreg]

@@WonderlanderRaye I like that Margot Robbie isnt super-skinny though. Maybe she'd take that as an insult because I know many women like to feel they're 'thin' and men being attracted to their curves is not the compliment they want, but I wouldn't want Margot to lose tonnes of weight. She's slim but she isn't skin and bones.

[@alejandromolinac]

Comparing to what she looked like in previous flicks, her face looks chubbier…. Geez lat off the Twinkie’s for a week if you gonna play a super hero…. Heck she looks a lot skinnier on the Beauty Shop movie.

She looked gorgeous. Best thing about that film!

[@rykavproductions666]

Wow I didn't know about the whole fat shaming surrounding Alicia Silverstone during development and behind the scenes. She looks fine to me, the 90's sure were a different time and only makes this movie even more fascinating

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

I heard about it as a footnote of many other issues surrounding the film but yeah this is definitely one of those "wow, this fucking movie..." tidbits in terms of real life reception.

[@LegendarySpaceRipper]

Apparently she still gets comments about her weight. I think she looks pretty and needs more roles.

[@alejandromolinac]

Well she was the IT GIRL in the mid 90s, appearing in a whole bunch of movies and music videos…. She prob was going to more parties and eating a couple of cupcakes too many…. Her face looks chubbier…. Heck…. Pay me millions I will get on a diet abd leaving whining at the door….

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

She was hot as fuck in that costume. Having her in the cowl was great, unfortunately she only wore it for a while.

[@RaptorRed]

She didn’t even look fat. Geez. Poor girl. Love every video. Entertaining and learn a lot. Plus thx to this channel I learn so much about Batman that I never knew. As well as learn about films and other media that I never knew and I get to check out.

[@GregOrCreg]

Exactly. Fat-shaming is never acceptable. That said, I could understand the director/producer having a few polite/supportive words with her behind-the-scenes if she had been 'fat', simply because it wouldn't have suited the character, but, as you say, she wasn't even fat to begin with.

[@RaptorRed]

@@GregOrCregnot to mention comparing her to Roseanne Barr? Not even a comparison. She seemed ok fit wise but maybe that jerk that made the picture had something against her. I don’t know. Just feel so bad for her. She didn’t deserve those razzies and didn’t deserve the insults she got. I hope she’s doing better now.

[@GregOrCreg]

@@RaptorRed It wasn't a great performance, but the Razzies can be cruel at the best of times. However, I still maintain that she didn't look 'fat', and even if she had been, there was no grounds for the abuse she was subjected to.

[@low-keydrama1260]

Personally I feel like the costume, minus the mask, is actually pretty cool looking

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

Same. Although I wish they kept the cowl on beyond the bike scene.

[@Duskof81]

Like they reused the suit in Birds of Prey, just with a new coat of paint and a new cowl, and it looked great.

[@83shadow3]

There are way worse movies with Bat Girl/ Bat Woman in it. Believe me just watch the movie Wild World of Bat Woman. The character is not even close to any version of Bat Woman/ Bat Girl. In any way shape or form.

[@joshuasteward6097]

The nipples on the batsuit were distracting but the real problem with the movie was both villains were over the top campy. Adding Batgirl was awesome. Silverstone was on a roll in the 90's and was a great choice.

[@thegamingprozone1941]

​@apexsmokepackerthat is true actually 😂

[@notproductiveproductions3504]

I’d love to see Alicia Silverstone, Brandon Routh, Daniel Cudmore, and Christopher Eccleston in a movie where they play parodies of what was missing with their versions of Batgirl, Superman, Colossus, and Malekith

Thank God Alicia Silverstone could bounce back even though it took some long time and never really returned to her catapult status in the 90s but glad for her still working nowadays.

[@matthewhood7844]

I agree on all points. As a side note, i always felt that Pat Hingle was cast as Chief O'Hara not James Gordon.

[@pedrosantossinger]

He was good as Gordon in the 89 movie. He was commanding, took no sh*t from anyone, stood tall against Eckhart and even in the end tried to push a giant bell out of the way in the cathedral. From the second movie on, I just think that they didn't know what to do with the character, he was a second thought.

[@pedrosantossinger]

Though I would say he was kinda nice in Batman Forever, acting as Batman's friend and fan. But he was completely wasted in Returns and Batman & Robin.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

[@Hydro0223]

I remember reading about Batman Triumphant (or unchained) and everytime I read about it “oh yeah Alicia Silverstone expected to return as batgirl” and that was about it. Yeah, she might come she’s also there lines. The writer probably thought she wouldn’t considered the role after everything she had to deal with in B&R and just decided it wasn’t worth it. If anything not writing anything probably proved her and Vee’s point even more that she was basically a glorified extra in the group.

[@GregOrCreg]

They were talking about bringing in Harley Quinn, so surely they'd want to keep Batgirl around for the same reasons as they introduced her in a film featuring Poison Ivy; to kick another woman's butt.

[@jaymesEo6]

Yeah her not having red hair was my #1 issue even as a 8 year old boy. That being said Betty Kane technically was the 1st Batgirl and she was flaxen haired. Not to mention Stephanie Brown (BG/Spoiler) later. But in general I totally agree and if they were so hell bent on a blonde haired Alicia as Batgirl why not just name her Betty Kane and her grandmother Kathy who Alfred was macking on? It would have solved so many problems but clearly Joel Schumacher and the screenwriters bad no idea anything about the characters look history or backstory.

My problems with Sliverstone is that I hated the costume. I hated that they rewrote the character to be Alfred’s niece instead of Jim Gordon’s daughter.

It takes away what made the character relatable.

[@johnpenguinthe3rd13]

Honestly, Alicia Silverstone's Batgiirl looks and acts more like the ORIGINAL Batgirl from the comics. The BETTY KANE version of Batgirl introduced during 1961 who later on during the late 80's became FLAMEBIRD on the Teen Titans. That's what Alicia's Batgirl looks and acts more like: the Betty Kane version of Batgirl. Definitely NOT the more well known Barbara Gordon Batgirl. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Joel Schumacher preferred the Betty Kane version of Batgirl from the early 60's comics (prior to the introduction of the Barbara Gordan Batgirl during 1967) and decided to make the Batgirl in the movie more like the early 60's Betty Kane Batgirl (again, she acts like her and mostly looks like her with the blonde hair that shows and the type of mask she wears most of the time) and he meant to name her Betty Kane (since Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl pretty much is Betty Kane), but someone at WB was very adamant about naming her Barbara, so the end result is the movie version of Batgirl really being Betty Kane in visuals and behavior but named Barbara because someone at WB mandated it. On a side note, Betty Kane was the NIECE of Kathy Kane (the ORIGINAL Red and Yellow Batwoman introduced during the 1950's Batman comics). That's pretty much where for the movie they came up Batgirl being the NIECE of Alfred. A slight modification of the BETTY KANE version of Batgirl for the movie (but renamed Barbara for reasons).

That's not the worst Batgirl. The worst Batgirl is the one found in the New 52 Animated Universe.

[@thewonkydonkeyleader]

The worst batgirl would be the one that was so bad that WB threw away the whole thing after wasting lots of money into it tho

[@daviddriver2692]

Did you forget there WAS another Batgirl in live action, in "Birds of Prey"😊

[@marchionessamoretto7326]

I watched both Clueless and Batman and Robin on the silver screen back in the 1990's

It’s really bugged me that she was supposed to be born and raised in England but somehow had an American accent.

[@johnnyboy-ws3we]

I hope in next batman movies i hope she appear on big screen as jim Gordons kid

[@PerryDouglas-v5h]

If there’s ever an actual representation of Jim and Barbara Gordon in a film. DC and WB seem to be opposed to putting actual representations of the characters on the big screen and fans aren’t liking it, which is why the recently produced fake Batgirl film was shelved and will never see release.

[@souperstar7050]

Why couldn't they give Batgirl a cowl? She looked more like Robin.

[@andrewweisneck1102]

She did have a cowl for a second before she took it off and threw it away.

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

Damn, I loved her look. That costume works with her. She's 🔥.

[@biguy617]

It is true that even Tim Burton’s Batman didn’t have the best friendship with Jim Gordon. Although he was closer to the Gotham city government than in the Joel Schumacher movies.

I'm starting to think you were right when u were deciding to close the channel cause, the amount of new batman related content is declining.

[@wildgrizz2221]

sad thing is whole move blew, she blew more whats sad is she was closest in age to Batgirl, the best Batgirl was and still is Yvonne Craig who was 29

[@mikelowry6286]

Can you do a deep dive of Bane from Batman and Robin and Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. And unpopular opinion I love Tom Hardy's portrayal of Bane

[@knightrcer]

Halle Berry got a raspberry award for her portrayal of catwoman.

[@Dr_1212]

I.m in the minority but I don't think she was the worst

[@fortwolfz1347]

Yess new video

[@Aivottaja]

Batgirl as a character was always kind of cheap. For Robins, it made more sense they could fight crime like Batman because they were trained since they were small kids by him.

[@reboxtherapy]

well, I was gone in like flashbacks and/or daydreaming while watching the movie Clueless. I still haven't seen batman and robin, even though I owned it on blu ray. Mostly bc i worked a lot of ovovertime alicia was the only reason I wanted to watch batman and robin
