The post 3 Main Reasons Behind Warner Bros.’ Shocking Cancelation of “Batgirl” appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>In an official statement announcing the film’s cancelation, a Warner Bros. spokesperson stated “the decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max.” Batgirl was developed as an HBO Max original, and Warner Bros. wanted to focus on big theatrical event films instead… but why not simply release it theatrically?
After spending $90 million on this project, Warner Bros. would have to invest more money into a promotion if they switched to theatrical release. This didn’t seem like a viable option because the test screening response was largely negative. Some fans aren’t buying these explanations because several outlets reported that Batgirl received a similar audience response to It and Shazam!
When all is said and done, it seemed that Warner Bros. decided to cancel Batgirl because it was more viable as a tax write-off than an actual movie. The studio is set to receive a tax break if they never monetize Batgirl in any shape or form, so that’s why they’re not releasing it on HBO Max or selling it to another studio.

]]>The sneak peek shows Grace posing in a purple and gold crime-fighting attire, reminiscent of Batgirls’ signature comic book costume. Her hairstyle also draws from the comic book version of the character since she’s seen rocking her signature red hair.
Grace also posted a caption that perfectly captures the voice of the character, reading “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 will also star J.K. Simmons as James Gordon, Brendan Fraser as Firefly, and Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman. This won’t be the first movie to see Keaton return as Batman, since he’s also set to reprise his iconic role in The Flash.
Batgirl kicked off production in late November in Glasgow. Its official release date is yet to be confirmed, but it’ll most likely premiere on HBO Max later this year.
