Claim: Alicia Silverstone played a character from DC Comics.
Evidence: She starred in the comedy hit Clueless -LRB- 1995 -RRB- , which earned her a multimillion-dollar deal with Columbia Pictures , and in the big-budget film Batman & Robin -LRB- 1997 -RRB- , playing Batgirl.
Batgirl is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics , depicted as female counterparts to the superhero Batman.
The character appeared regularly in Detective Comics , Batman Family , and several other books produced by DC until 1988.
DC subsequently relaunched all their monthly publications during The New 52 reboot.
These changes were retained as part of the 2016 DC Rebirth event.
This factored into the decision to return her to the comic book role , as Dan DiDio , co-publisher of DC Comics , expressed that she is the best-known version of the character.
