Warner Bros. won’t release “Batgirl,” despite costing $90 million.
Warner Bros. has officially cancelled the release of Batgirl. The film, which is said to have performed poorly in test screenings and is estimated to cost between $700 million and $90 million, will no longer be released in theaters or on the HBO MAX streaming service.
Starring Leslie Grace alongside JK Simmons, Michael Keaton and Brendan Fraser, the film has been delayed by the pandemic, and the studio is looking to limit damage to the franchise and ensure the future of DC movies starts off stronger.
For now, Batgirl’s fate seems bleak, no matter how many fans tweet their outrage.
“I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me…
And when their guard is down, and their pride is rising, let me kick their butts.”
– Batgirl, Year One

Irredeemable? According to multiple outlets, including us, BATGIRL had a test screening back in June and received an overwhelming positive response.

If the rumors about Batgirl’s cancelled release are true, there is absolutely no excuse for that.
Leslie Grace deserves better. Brendan Fraser deserves better. Michael Keaton deserves better. The fans deserve better.
