LMAOgirl >“Batgirl,” the feature film adaptation of the DC Comics character, has been killed at Warner Bros., Variety has confirmed. It will not premiere on any platform at the studio — neither theatrically nor on HBO Max.
>The $90 million production — starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl) and directed by “Bad Boys for Life” and “Ms. Marvel” filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah — was greenlit in 2021 as part of a company-wide effort at Warner Bros. to create feature films specifically for HBO Max. But the new corporate regime at Warner Bros. Discovery has pivoted the company’s priorities back to theatrical features, leaving “Batgirl” without a proper home. >Studio insiders insist the decision was not driven by the quality of the film or the commitment of the filmmakers, but by the desire for the studio’s slate of DC features to be at a blockbuster scale. “Batgirl” was budgeted to screen in homes on HBO MAX, and not for a major global release in theaters. The budget for the project, which finished principle photography earlier this year, reached $90 million due in part to COVID-related delays and protocols.
So her costume is just a puffer jacket? Modern movies are so creative

That’s what they get for casting a negress

Based Zaslav saving DC from the brown menace.

It's gotta be pretty terrible. Remember, this is from the studio that thought Suicide Squad, BVS, and Justice League we're quality goods. Lol
Jace Foster
someone leaked the plotline after it got cancelled and said it's a halloween costume
Carson Walker
This has to be viral marketing right? How can you not want to see a movie so bad that they wont even let you watch it because of the brand damage it could cause. It's a must see now. Genius.

It allegedly has nothing to do with quality, but "the desire for the studio’s slate of DC features to be at a blockbuster scale", which I think is supposed to mean that they only want DC movies that are big blockbusters.

Roundabout way of saying it was going to bomb

Batgirl is a diverse female protagonist who deals with the challenges of racism, transphobia, and misogyny in her daily life while also being a masked vigilante in a paint by numbers plot that's been done to death by literally everyone.
