HBO Max presents the first transgender character in the movie Batgirl in the history of DC. The actress playing the main role, Leslie Grace, posted a photo from the set ono Instagram, in which we can see the transgender actress, Ivory Aquino. Grace also added the caption: “Barbara and Alice”. Barbara is the name of Batgirl, and Aquino probably plays the character of the comic, Alice, which first appeared in the comics in 2011. She is an important transgender character of the popular comics.

This assumption is reinforced by the casting announced by Warner Bros. The company was looking for an American transgender woman of Asian descent between the ages of 20 and 30. The date of the film’s premiere is still unknown, though it is known that the film will be about how Barbara Gordon became the Batgirl. Brendan Fraser will play the villain, J.K. Simmons will play Commissar Gordon, while Michael Keaton will play Batman.
