If you haven’t already, go now and sign the petition to put BATGIRL: YEAR ONE<\/em> the animated DVD back into production<\/a>!\u00a0 Stella from Batgirl to Oracle: The Barbara Gordon podcast<\/em> has shouted from the rooftops and I recommend we mobilize on this.\u00a0 Here are the details as provided by Stella:<\/p>\n In an interview with Bruce Timm on April 27, 2010, Timm states that:\u00a0 “‘We had originally planned to do sequels for Wonder Woman<\/em> and Green Lantern<\/em>, but Wonder Woman\u2019s<\/em> sales started out extremely slow and then over time were eventually able to catch up to probably Justice League: New Frontier<\/em>.” said Timm.\u00a0 “The Exec\u2019s decided because it wasn\u2019t able to sell quickly right away, whereas Justice League<\/em> was, that there wouldn\u2019t be any more female super hero films right now. We were developing and hoping to get started on a ‘Batgirl’ film based on ‘Year One,’ but because of Wonder Woman\u2019s<\/em> slow sales start, that won\u2019t be happening now.”<\/p>\n From Stella: Basically, not only is Batgirl canceled, but so is any other potential superheroine movie. This breaks my heart on so many levels and I think that, as a comic community, we can show Timm and Register that Batgirl would be an amazing production and it would sell! I believe that she reaches people whom Wonder Woman never could.<\/p>\n It literally takes 30 seconds to sign! The petition will be sent along with written letters to Bruce Timm, Sam Register, and other folks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That’s the gist of it.\u00a0 If you are interested in signing the petition, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 There are currently about 450 signatures, so we need quite a few more.\u00a0 Also, be sure to check out Stella’s podcast\/blog Batgirl to Oracle: The Barbara Gordon podcast<\/em> by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\nTell the world about ONCE UPON A GEEK:<\/h3>
