One Marvel Writer Wants To Write Batgirl, And DC Seems Interested

Roxane Gay writing credits include the essay collection Bad Feminist, the novel An Untamed State and her memoir Hunger, but in the realm of comic books, she hit the scene when she was tapped to co-write the Black Panther spinoff series World of Wakanda with poet Yona Harvey. Despite earning praise, World of Wakanda (which starred former Dora Milaje members Ayo and Aneka) was cancelled after just six issues, and ironically, the cancellation confirmation came two days after the first trailer for the Black Panther movie dropped. In any case, besides being an acclaimed author, Gay also has some comic book experience on her resume, so it would be interesting to see what her vision for a Batgirl movie looks like. While there's no guarantee that she'll be the one who ends up adapting Barbara Gordon for the DCEU, if conversations between Warner Bros and DC do happen, one would imagine she stands a better chance of obtaining the job than most.
