Wow - the Sharif may not like it. He thinks it's not kosher! Today, Batgirl. Tomorrow, Blue Beetle. Next week… HBO Max.

This must have stunk on ice. If so, good. Hollywood needs to rethink the superhero action movie movie. Because they got little else to bust the blocks with.

WB released a statement about the film's axing. “The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max,” said a Warner Bros. spokesperson in a statement. “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.”
I don't see Keaton staying around for too long.

Not getting a theatrical release or a release date for HBO Max. WB is without a doubt, the worst CBM studio of the biggest 4 this century. They just made a movie so bad they’re willing to throw away $100million so that you never see it. Unreal. I feel like I want to number crunch how much they’ve realistically come up short on throughout their entire DCEU run, because it’s got to be like half a billion by now. Easy.

Seriously. What’s the biggest disaster WB has had?
- This Batgirl total loss? - BVS sabotaging the franchise? - Suicide Squad failing? - WW84 completely tarnishing their biggest success? - MOS not taking flight to the tune of forcing BVS and never getting a sequel with arguably the most recognizable superhero? - Other?

Are you sitting down? Their biggest failures are yet to come. David Zaslov has a long road in front of him. The DC live-action apocalypse has begun. Zaslav thinks he's ushering in the new world order and setting the brand up for future success. In reality, he's likely creating something even more fractured and disjointed than it is now. None of what remains will make sense. It will be as if you were Marty McFly waking up in "alternate 1984." Here are some of the dispatches from the future timeline. Flash, Missing, Vanishes in Corporate Crisis. Batman, Multiplied, Fandom Divided. Superman Headless Cameo Zombie - Transitions to Woman. Two Jokers, One Cup? How can they rebuild on a partial platform? Is Aquaman the new Tony Stark? Will Black Adam be the new Steve Rogers? They're alienating talent, the industry, and the fans with this wanton destruction. What actor of merit will want to be associated with this brand for a long-term contractual commitment? We know there's no job security in it. Rebooting won't be any easier. It's not like there is a fresh pool of talent you haven't seen before that they can draw from. I don't think Zaslov cares enough about DC to fix or reboot it. He'll keep the shows and movies that make money and ditch the rest. Truthfully, I would have preferred this to happen to Sony.

Finally...
I do get what JC is driving at, this assuming the reports that the movie was of poor quality are accurate. Perhaps it was the right decision from a business standpoint. But there's no getting around the fact that it looks horrible from a PR standpoint. Absolutely horrible.

It's still kicking the ass of all its competition, even during a rocky fourth phase that's finding its footing.

Imo Zaslav is doing the best he can for the moment. Cancelling both Wonder Twins and Batgirl. Good choices. Before he came in, WB was spoiling content creators I have faith in Zaslav, especially now having Horn on the team for 2 years. There is no better advisor out there

Eh, PR. Like it was that good to begin with. Arguably from their perspective it wouldve been worse PR. Just the usual minority loudmouths with their pitchforks and torches who have no real effect on any film's overall success. Im surprised there have been no lack of diversity or thats racist comments.. The costume looked cheap as fuck. Good it was cancelled. If you cant get something as simple as that right, what can you get right?

I would've thought that after this whole shitstorm, she would've been cutting ties with them entirely.

I'd say not waiting to see how people react to the first big screen version of Batgirl since the 90's before deciding nobody wants it shows signs of impatience.
How can you 'go in a new direction' when you didn't even start going in the first direction to begin with? They could've at least given us a big screen Batgirl and Supergirl, waited to see what the reception was, then decided not to pursue any further projects with either instead of deciding for ALL of us that we wouldn't want to see them. Let people decide with their wallets and butts (on seats) rather than making assumptions.

Yeah, that doesn't exactly make me like the guy or have any hope in his future plans for DC.
