Why Was the Movie Scrapped?
Many people hated the fact that the movie got scrapped so easily yet so surprisingly. One of the most awaited DC projects with millions of dollars already in production, the decision to cancel it seemed more than unlikely initially.
However, when the movie got canceled with no prior notice, certain questions arose amidst the confusion and shock in every fan’s heart. Why did they do it?
Well, Warner Bros had spoken out about the decision and claimed that they had valid reasons.
Among those reasons was the fact that Warner Bros decided that they wanted DC to go down a path whereBatgirl’sentry seemed a bit too soon.
“The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max… Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor, and this decision is not a reflection of her performance. We are incredibly grateful to the filmmakers of Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt and their respective casts, and we hope to collaborate with everyone again in the near future.”
Apart from that, they also felt thatBatgirlwasn’t receiving the attention it deserves when the movie’s test run did not bring in as much audience as they hoped. When they realized that the hype for the movie was disappointingly less than expectations, the decision to scrap the script felt natural.
