Batgirl Movie: HBO Max’s $90 Million Movie Shelved Post-Production

Batgirl film will never be seen by fans.

Warner Bros. and DC Films has officially cancelled the release of the upcoming superhero film, Batgirl. Said to have underperformed in initial test screening, the DC superhero film, estimated to have cost between $70 – $90 million USD, will no longer be making a theatrical release nor be available on HBO MAX streaming platforms.

Staring Leslie Grace, alongside with J.K. Simmons, Michael Keaton, and Brendan Fraser, Batgirl ran into delays due to the coronavirus pandemic and upended the planned release schedule. Sources say that the studio is also looking to limit the damage to the franchise, and to make sure the future of DC Films starts off with stronger momentum.

 

Currently, it seems like the fate of Batgirl is quite bleak regardless of how many fans are taking to Twitter to voice their anger.

 

“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.
