The newly released set photos from Batgirl’s recent filming in Glasgow showed a mural with art showing Keaton’s Batman along with Robin, The Boy Wonder. Although this does not exactly confirm that Robin will appear in the film, it at least implies that Robin exists or existed in some form this universe.
Batgirl will be directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, adapted from the script penned by Christina Hodson. It is scheduled to be released sometime in 2022 on HBO Max.
