It has just been revealed by the New York post, that Batgirl will no longer be released on HBO Max or theatrically. The movie cost around $90 million to make and was already completed and ready to be released on HBO Max later this year. Apparently the reason for this is that it doesn’t fit in with the new direction of DC.
There is no reason whatsoever to scrap this film as it wouldn’t cost them anything to drop the film on HBO Max, so it is very disappointing to know that this slim will never see the light of day. This is also a worrying trend with DC recently as they also cancelled Batwoman andLegends of Tomorrow, which both had female leads. Whereas The Flash got to one more season to end.
This is also so unfair on everyone who worked so hard on this project so to scrap it completely makes absolutely no sense.
What do you think of Batgirl being scrapped and would you like to see it?
