Hot Topic: Joss Whedon leaves Batgirl and Black Panther breaks records!

Joss Whedon (The Avengers) has decided to step down as the director of Warner Bros./DC Entertainment’s Batgirl. His main reason for leaving was due to not having a story to work with. It’s unclear where the project will be going next, or if development will even continue.

“Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn’t have a story.”
‒ Joss Whedon

Tala Ashe (Zari Tomaz) from The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow recently spoke to Den of Geek about her character, what it’s like to be new on a series full of pre-established characters, and more.

“It’s always weird, I think, to be the new kid. Especially if you’re sort of an especially awkward person like myself. Everyone was really nice. What I think is wonderful about Legends amongst other things, is that there’s no diva behavior on our set. Everyone’s really kind, and doing their own thing.”
