It is pertinent to mention that Warner Bros cancelled the release of the completely shot ‘Batgirl’ movie, planned to premiere on the brand’s streaming platform, HBO Max, in August this year.
The $90 million project which had completed filming with Leslie Grace in the titular character of Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl, was previously moved from theatrical release to originally premiere on the company-owned streaming platform HBO Max, before being indefinitely shelved by the makers.
The company cited poor reception from the test audience as the reason for cancellation.
“The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max,” stated the DC spokesperson.
