Continuing to expand its superhero universe, DC continues to work on highly anticipated productions such as Black Adam, The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. But Batgirl, which has been on the list of expected films so far, has not been making a sound for a very long time.
The fate of Batgirl, which was not mentioned even at Comic-Con 2022, became clear today. According to sources as diverse as the New York Post and The Wrap, Warner Bros. and DC Films have stopped releasing Batgirl, which is currently in the final stages of post-production. The rationale for the decision was also explained.
The film failed the audience test and was deemed ‘unrecoverable’:
According to information obtained from sources, DC’s decision to cancel the movie, Warner Bros. It was due to David Zaslav, the new director of Discovery, and Michael De Luca’s new goal of Warner Bros.’s goal of cutting costs and making films just for the cinema, not broadcast platforms. However, the New York Post suggested that one source suggested that the film received pretty bad feedback in audience tests. Accordingly, Warner Bros. He also canceled the movie because he thought it could not be compensated.
It would not be unfair to say that DC has been going through tough times lately. DC Films president Walter Hamada shared in a statement in 2020 that they would create two different universes like Disney’s MCU: DC Extended Universe and DC Films multiverse. He also shared DC’s goal is to release no more than four movies per year, with one or two of them making an HBO Max special. But the coronavirus intervened and delayed or swept away all plans. The Batgirl movie was also to be broadcast exclusively on HBO.
Recently, a striking claim came to the fore:
While one of the most attractive aspects of HBO Max was the special DC movies, one of them was, of course, Zack Snyder’s Justice League. However, according to those recently revealed by Rolling Stone, the curiosity created for this movie became a reality thanks to bot accounts on social media. With DC already questioning the stigma of this, saving a badass movie like Batgirl would be a waste of time.
Batgirl did not have a release date. The cast of the movie included famous names such as Leslie Grace, Michael Keaton and JK Simmons.
