The rapid expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe through Disney+ has further encouraged other streaming services to pursue superhero content. In particular, the Warner Brothers, who hold the DC rights, ordered a lot of DC content for HBO Max while trying to get things back on track for DCEU on the big screen. We’ve been hearing Batgirl’s name from this content for a very long time and we were expecting to see the movie soon. However, contrary to reports, Batgirl apparently wasn’t very encouraging, and WB decided to eliminate the film!
Since even the filming of the film has already been completed, this is not such a simple shelving. According to the complaints from the studio officials, the release of Batgirl could cause irreparable damage. The studio, which made such a decision after the film’s recent screen tests, has spent between $ 70 and $ 100 million for the Batgirl film so far. When such a big cancellation decision came, naturally the whole press started to report on this issue in depth. The news of the shelving was first announced by The New York Post.
In fact, the fact that San Diego Comic-Con ;d no information about the Batgirl movie was the first sign that there were problems with the film. But before the SDCC, the producers, the cast and the whole crew had said that the film was pretty good and that there could be a potential sequel. Warner Bros. Discovery officials did not find the current version of the film sufficient. In fact, they did not see any harm in throwing away an investment of about 90 million dollars because they thought it could not be corrected even with re-shoots.
The film Batgirl, starring Leslie Grace and starring Ms. Marvel producers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, was postponed due to the pandemic and production costs were even higher. Since neither HBO Max nor the Warner Brothers, who will not show the film in theaters, are willing to risk such a big loss, there are really serious problems with Batgirl. On the other hand, we will have to wait for The Flash to see Michael Keaton, who will play Batman again in this film, and his future does not look very bright.
