DC fans were dealt a heartbreaking blow earlier this week, with confirmation that DC’s Batgirl movie has been scrapped entirely. The film, which had already wrapped filming months ago and was nearly completed, was set to bring a number of firsts into the ever-growing world of superhero blockbusters. Among that was the casting of Ivory Aquino as Alysia Yeoh, bringing one of the first openly-transgender characters and actors into the superhero movie space. At the moment, it sounds like we won’t get to see Aquino’s portrayal of Alysia ultimately brought to life, but the actress has taken to social media to shed a light on what it would have entailed. In a post on her Instagram, Aquino shared several behind-the-scenes photos of her work on Batgirl, including various costumes worn by Alysia in the film, new looks at Barbara Gordon (Leslie Grace), James Gordon (JK Simmons), and various other photos of the cast and crew.
