In January, Grace shared the first movie still where she can be seen in character. Wearing a midnight blue costume with golden trimmings andthat infamous mask, she looks powerful as ever.
“I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me… And when their guard is down, and their pride is rising, let me kick their butts. – Batgirl, Year One,” Grace penned in the Twitter post.
