New Look at Brendan Fraser as Firefly in Batgirl
The Batgirl movie continues production and today we see a new look at Brendan Fraser as Firefly, one of the villains set to appear in the film starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon/ Batgirl.
Check it out below.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the character, here’s a quick rundown from Wikipedia.
Firefly (Garfield Lynns) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by France Herron and Dick Sprang, he made his debut in Detective Comics #184 (June 1952). Initially portrayed as a criminal who utilized lighting effects to commit robberies, Firefly was later re-imagined as a sociopathic pyromaniac with an obsessive compulsion to start fires following Crisis on Infinite Earths’ reboot of the DC Universe in the 1980s. This darker depiction of the character has since endured as one of the superhero Batman’s most recurring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his central rogues gallery.
Firefly has been featured in various forms of media, including several shows set within the DC animated universe, The Batman cartoon series, the first season of The CW’s live-action Arrowverse television series Arrow portrayed by Andrew Dunbar, and the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. Additionally, a female version of the character named Bridgit Pike appeared in the television series Gotham, portrayed by Michelle Veintimilla and Camila Perez. The Garfield Lynns version of the character will also appear in the upcoming HBO Max DC Extended Universe film Batgirl (2022), where he will be portrayed by Brendan Fraser.
