Leslie Grace: Fans express sadness as Batgirl is cancelled and it won't premiere on any platform at the studio — neither theatrically nor on HBO Max

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Fans express sadness as Batgirl is cancelled and it won't premiere on any platform at the studio — neither theatrically nor on HBO Max. 

Batgirl,” the feature film adaptation of the DC Comics character, has been killed at Warner Bros., Variety has confirmed. It will not premiere on any platform at the studio — neither theatrically nor on HBO Max.

The $90 million production — starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl) and directed by “Bad Boys for Life” and “Ms. Marvel” filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah — was greenlit in 2021 as part of a company-wide effort at Warner Bros. to create feature films specifically for HBO Max. But the new corporate regime at Warner Bros. Discovery has pivoted the company’s priorities back to theatrical features, leaving “Batgirl” without a proper home.

And it’s not like “Batgirl” was a small movie, either. Along with Grace, J.K. Simmons plays Barbara’s father, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and Michael Keaton reprises his role as Batman (as he also does in “The Flash”). Brendan Fraser plays the villain, Firefly, and Grace told Variety in April that she had preliminary discussions with El Arbi and Fallah about what a sequel “could be.”

“There’s crazy stunts, crazy drops,” Grace said of the film. “She’s a biker chick, so you’re going to see her do a bunch of badassery… There were a lot of long days, but it was so worth it.”

A fan wrote: "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. 
Batgirl deserves better!" 

Another fan wrote:" If the Batgirl movie being cancelled is true, I feel so bad for Leslie Grace, Brendan Fraser and the entire cast and crew. The movie was going to be something special and WB just ruined it. WB is the reason DC isnt as popular as Marvel in terms of movies."
