In a conversation with Insider, the filmmaker Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah shared their view onThe Flash,released in 2023. They also shared their desire to be part of the DCEU world and get a chance to show their film to the world.
The director El Arbi shared withInsider,
“We watched it and we were sad. We love director Andy Muschietti and his sister Barbara, who produced the movie. But when we watched it, we felt we could have been part of the whole thing. We didn’t get the chance to show Batgirl to the world and let the audience judge for themselves. Because the audience really is our ultimate boss and should be the deciders of if something is good or bad, or if something should be seen or not.”
Batgirlwas in the making between 2021 and 2022.

In 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that the filmwas terminated after the shoot was done, and was in the post-production phase.
