Some new photos from the set of Batgirl have hit the web and they tease a place that comic book readers may be familiar with.
Seen down below is a “recreation of the Cherry Hill neighborhood of Gotham City,” including the iconic Year One location of Infantino’s Costumes For All Occasions.

Of course, if you’ve read the source material you’ll know that this is a pretty important place for Barbara, as it serves as “the stepping stone for her to become the titular vigilante.” As ScreenRant explains:
Having had a fight with her father, Commissioner Gordon, she planned to wear a female Batman costume to a masquerade ball to spite him, only to find no suitable options at the shop and elect to make her own suit. While wearing the Batgirl costume at the party, she would ultimately find herself saving the day when it came under attack by the villain Killer Moth, allowing for just enough time for Bruce Wayne to change into his Batsuit and call Robin to assist.
Batgirl will swoop onto HBO Max later this year.
