“I really tried, let me tell you. I really did try,” she shared with THR. “Yeah, it was exciting regardless, and I did get a nice little personal email from J.K. Simmons (Commissioner Gordon) out of it, which was really nice. Getting the role would’ve been pretty cool, but I told myself that his email meant more to me than getting the role.”

“So I tried, but I’m not Batgirl at the end of the day. I’m trying to think of what freaking superhero I can play now because aren’t they all done already? Haven’t they all been made?” Haley added. “Can we campaign for me to play someone else?”

Leslie Grace is of course the actress who ended up landing the role. See how she reacted to her casting!
