Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, will write, direct and produce a Batgirl feature film, Variety today reports.

Variety says the project originated “in the past month,” so further details are scarce.

Whedon is no stranger to superheroes — he’s written and directed both The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. On television, he’s created Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Batgirl will be the second DC Comics feature film to focus on a female superhero, after this June’s Wonder Woman. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
