Discovery"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

In a surprising late-Tuesday afternoon breaking news, the Batgirl <\/em><\/strong>movie has reportedly been shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery<\/strong> for good. While Batgirl is a vigilante by night, it seems this film will never see the light of day and will not be released in theaters or on streaming platforms such as HBO Max<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Post<\/a> reported that recent test screenings were “so poorly received by moviegoers that the studio decided to cut its losses and run, for the sake of the brand’s future.” However, studio insiders insist that the decision to can Batgirl was not driven by the film’s directors, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah<\/strong>, or due to the quality of the movie per se, but because the studio wants their slate of DC features to be at a blockbuster scale. The directors issued a statement regarding the decision via their Instagram page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
