Simmons as her father Commissioner Jim Gordon and Brendan Fraser as villain Firefly. Michael Keaton makes his return as Batman 30 years after his first appearance as the Caped Crusader.Talk turned to “Batgirl” when I caught up with Grace earlier today about her new collaboration with Häagen-Dazs. She’s helping promote City Sweets, the company’s new collection of ice cream flavors that incorporate street food deserts, including churros, street vendor pretzels and black-and-white cookies.
Brooklyn-based artist Jade Purple Brown designed the ice cream’s colorful packaging. “I’ve been eating Häagen-Dazs since I was in my mom’s belly because it was like her main craving,” the Bronx-raised Grace says. “There’s this one flavor, Vanilla Swiss Almond, that she would have my dad fill the fridge with.”City Sweets is an offshoot of Häagen-Dazs’ #ThatsDazs campaign, which has committed $1.5 million to creatives in marginalized communities.Grace talked brand partnerships that give back, putting on the Batgirl suit for the first time, seeing Keaton on set and more.How important is it to you that when you do a brand partnership that there is a charitable component to it, too?It’s so important.
It’s main thing that I look for in all my brand partnerships. I never want to align with a brand just because there’s a big dollar sign attached to it. People feel that and that’s just not what I’m about.
