Alicia Silverstone wants another crack at Batgirl. She says she'd be better this time around.

The Clueless breakout was 21-years-old when she stepped into the Batgirl suit in 1997's Batman & Robin alongside George Clooney's Batman and Chris O'Donnell's Robin.

The adaptation flopped (still carrying an appalling 11% critical score on RottenTomatoes) and Silverstone took her critical knocks for the role.

"I feel like I could do a much better Batgirl now than I did then. It would be fun to tackle it again," Silverstone tells USA TODAY. "Because I’m older and my acting is better. I know I would bring so much more to it."

Silverstone says she was too young and inexperienced to really take on the part two decades ago.

"I was just a baby. It was a different thing. But I had fun back then. And I think it would be fun to do it again," she says.

One thing that would have to change? The restrictive Batgirl outfit.

"That costume was so uncomfortable," says Silverstone. "Maybe something more comfortable would be nice. Something you can sit in. Something you can get out of to pee."

As for the idea of making an appearance or cameo in Joss Whedon's upcoming version of Batgirl, Silverstone responded, "I'm open to anything, whatever people bring to me and whatever the best choice is for that time."

The actress is in a different place in life now, with a six-year-old son, Bear Blu Jarecki, to musician husband Christopher Jarecki. She's starring as a mother onscreen, playing Susan in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (opening May 19). And hopes to make the passionate fans of this franchise happy with her performance.

"I love playing Susan I hope I make the kids happy. I can identify with her passion," says Silverstone. "All parents are going to see themselves in these parents. We’re trying so hard to do the right thing."
