Upon the reboot of the DC Universe, Barnes was reimagined as Oliver Queen's cousin who'd moved to Metropolis following her time in the Air Force as a fighter pilot. This version of the character was meant to be a direct response to the popularity of Marvel Comic's Carol Danvers, and as such was given powers to match. Billie Barnes was retooled as a Metahuman, whose powers came from being exposed to alien material via explosion. She also became more of a supporting character for Superman rather than the Green Arrow. Her first live action appearance was in Smallville, portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar as a friend of Lana Lang's who moved to Kansas after her dad was stationed on the military base there following the meteorite storm. Her popularity on the TV show led DC to create her own solo comic book series, Starbird. Legal issues arose following the production of the CW's Arrow, where the creators Marc Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti wished to adapt her character into the pilot as Oliver Queen's sister after scrapping her from 2011's Green Lantern. However, due to rumors that Barnes would be appearing in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, she was replaced and retooled into the character Thea Queen. Eventually Billie Barnes made her appearance in Season 2 of the CW's Arrowverse as Oliver and Thea's cousin, played by Brie Larson, who was originally cast in the Green Lantern movie before her character was scrapped. In the backdoor pilot of The Flash, Billie Barnes was granted her abilities as a metahuman after being blasted by the particle accelerator rather than an alien explosion. This version of Barnes was more in line with her Silver Age counterpart, playing a vital role on Team Arrow and getting her own storyline in the five part series Crisis on Infinite Earths. Zack Snyder's version of the character, played by breakout star Emilia Clarke, made her first appearance in the blockbuster Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, as Bruce Wayne's estranged sister who he saves in Metropolis. She was known as Sybil, rather than Billie, and went by the last name Wayne. Snyder preferred the chemistry between Clarke and Cavill, and admitted he had plans to make Billie Superman's ultimate love interest by the end of the film. Emilia Clarke was initially promised a bigger role in Snyder's Justice League, but after Whedon was added to the film, her role was cut extensively and most of her scenes given to Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Clarke eventually returned to reshoot her scenes for the Snydercut in 2021, where her role was greatly expanded. Billie Barnes would get her fourth live action appearance when James Gunn took over the DC Cinematic Universe, with Alycia Debnam-Carey's casting being announced alongside David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Gunn admitted he was taking most of his inspiration from the character's solo run, where she was discharged from the Air Force and became a lawyer that repeatedly clashed with reporter Clark Kent. Gunn has not confirmed whether or not Barnes has her powers by the time of Superman, but has toyed with the idea of showing how she gets them onscreen and has confirmed she will make an appearance in the Green Lanterns show as a former protege of Hal Jordan. Fans also believe the inclusion of Barnes means Gunn intends to tackle the story of Green Arrow at some point in the future.
