Batgirl's long-awaited debut live-action film has officially wrapped, it has been confirmed.

In the Heights star Leslie Grace revealed the news in an interview with Pop Culture, where she also talked about what it was like to don the costume and play Barbara Gordon and her superhero alter-ego.

"We're all wrapped up now and I can't wait for everyone to see this film," she said. "I can't wait to see myself once our directors edit and everything.

"But I mean it's jam-packed with action, with drama, with love. There's some real moral to the story. There's some real heart to this story.

"We go through a lot of different fundamental things that happen to all of us in the plot of the film, through all the characters. And so I'm really excited for everyone to see it."

What to Read Next

She also talked about her reaction to playing Batgirl, admitting that she can't believe it has really happened.

"Since I found out that I would be taking on this project, I was so excited and I was just mind blown, really," she explained. "It was really kind of crazy to wrap my head around it.

"But then once I got into that final version of the suit with the cowl on, and all the makeup and hair and everything, I was like, 'Wow, I'm really Batgirl. Like, what is happening right now? Am I in another dimension? Like, what is going on?' So it was incredible. It was a beautiful experience."

The film sees JK Simmons reprising his role as Commissioner Gordon from Justice League, while Michael Keaton returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman from the Tim Burton films, even though those films are in separate continuities (although the upcoming The Flash movie might have something to do with that...).

The film also has a DC film's first trans character, which is pretty cool.

Batgirl is due to release this year on HBO Max in the US.
