We could've had two Latino superheroes this year.

Joker 2’s box office flop has lead to it being released on streaming by the end of this month; the same month the thing came out on cinema.

To paraphrase something a friend of mine said regarding Warner bros, when you write off projects like Batgirl, Coyote VS Acme and others for tax purposes and a hyped film like this bombs;

You know used to when people asked me what show being canceled unfairly made me the maddest it was a easy my Babysitters a vampire now it's all of Netflix and hbos crap like lockwood & co shadow and bone/six of crows coyote vs acme and Batgirl (Yes the last two are movies that were shelved but it's in the same vein)

...what do you mean they canceled the Batgirl movie but approved that

[silveragelovechild]

“Coyote vs. Acme” isn’t the first movie that Warner Brothers has shelved because it was more profitable to shelve it than release it (remember “Batgirl?).

Have we passed into a Bizarro parallel universe where up is down and left is right? And studios don’t release movies?!?

Thinking about how the batgirl movie will never be seen and how great the behind the scenes looked. I love Barbara Gordon so much and I’m so sad that I’ll never see that movie. Warner Bros/DC broke my heart for that one. I just hope the Wonder Woman game still comes out

Possible Batgirl Plot

Begins with Batman saving Commissioner Jim Gordon and his family from criminals, causing Jim’s daughter Barbara Gordon to become obsessed with Batman. On present day, Barbara returns to Gotham after graduating from college in computer science. She also practices gymnastics and martial arts. Gordon has recently had a heart attack and Barbara returned to help him recover. They have been estranged since her mother’s death in a fire. Barbara joins the Gotham City Police Department and wants to be on patrol, but Gordon gives her a desk job in order to protect her. Barbara dresses up as Batgirl for a costume party hosted by Bruce Wayne. Criminals led by Killer Moth crash the party to kill him, but Barbara stops them, which impresses Bruce. Someone later murders Killer Moth by setting him on fire. Barbara decides to investigate and uncovers a series of assassinations ordered by Killer Moth’s former employer, mobster Don Bressi, and executed by his enforcer Firefly. Firefly’s real name is Ted Carson and he is an explosives expert who reformed for the sake of his sick wife. After losing his job and his wife’s healthcare, Carson returns to crime to provide for her. During the investigation, Barbara flirts with firefighter Jason Bard, but later becomes involved with Tony’s son Tony Bressi. Batman intercepts Barbara on the street and tells her to stop before she gets hurt, but she refuses and later sets up a base of operations in an abandoned clock tower.

Barbara confronts Firefly after his latest attack, and he almost kills her. She contacts Batman for help, but he refuses, confident that she can solve the case on her own. Barbara finds out Gordon is on Firefly’s hit list and that Firefly accidentally killed her mother in a fire meant to kill Gordon. Her death is what caused him to retire. Barbara saves Gordon, but Firefly escapes. Batgirl finds him meeting with Bressi at an abandoned warehouse and they have a fight, which culminates with Gordon arresting Bressi and Batgirl having an opportunity to kill Firefly, but sparing him so he can go to jail where he belongs. Barbara and Gordon later reconcile, though he never discovers her secret identity. He offers to let her go on patrol, but she decides to stay in the desk job, since it allows her to access the GCPD database for her crimefighting. Tony leaves Gotham after his father’s arrest, and Barbara begins to rekindle her friendship with Bard. Movie ends with Batman recruiting Batgirl to be his new partner, giving her a new armored suit, and the two jumping off a gargoyle to patrol the city together.

I think I will be avoiding movies from Warner Bros until either they release Batgirl or David Zaslav fucks off forever. They could announce the movie of my dreams and I still would feel uncomfortable supporting them.

In February, Leslie Grace spoke to Variety about everything surrounding the unfortunately canceled Batgirl project - shameless but I made a whole video about the canceled Batgirl movie and discussed why it shouldn't have been canceled, totally recommend checking that out. However, in that same interview with Variety, Leslie Grace mentioned the status of her relationship with DC Studios -- "I wish them the best on all the plans that they’ve got rolling out. They’ve got a lot of projects to handle, and it’s not an easy job." -- which sucked at the time since we all wanted DC Studios to work things out with her.

Fast forward to now, DC fans on Twitter have just pointed out that James Gunn has just recently started following Leslie Grace on Threads. Now, I don't want to get people's hope but with all of the recent casting news in Superman: Legacy, along with all of this talk about Superman: Legacy showcasing a very active and in-progress cinematic universe, it's hard to be the person that asks a very hype but hypothetical question.

Did James Gunn and DC Studios finally mend things over with Leslie Grace and somehow convinced her to play the role of the DCU's Batgirl?  If this is the case, thank god. The biggest misconception that people have when it comes to people wanting DC Studios to release the Batgirl film is that it's yet another drama filled movement where people are just yelling into the void about yet another minuscule problem that we should shut up about. While it's easy to write Batgirl off, and I'd understand if you did exactly that when it got canned, there's a reason it's frustrated so many people. It was a massive work of art that was near completion and it got canned for a fairly arbitrary reason. Historically, DC has always done well with Bat-centric or Gotham-centric projects. There was no reason for DC to truly write this film off in favor of releasing another film like Black Adam, which should've been a sequel film after Shazam 2 introduced both Black Adam's origin story and Black Adam as a villain from the perspective of Shazam. People love Gotham, people love Batman and more importantly, people would've appreciated the confirmed return of Michael Keaton far more than they did in The Flash, considering it seemed to like his return in that film was a very brief appearance that wasn't to overshadow Leslie's Batgirl. And as a massive fan of Keaton's Batman, though Robert Pattinson is my favorite Batman at the very moment, I think a brief appearance where Keaton's Batman comes into play as a massive motivator of Batgirl along with giving her an upgraded suit to help start the final act of the movie would've made Keaton's return feel far more meaningful.

Now, when it comes to actor's when they speak about wanting to be in a Marvel project or be in a DC project, I know it's easy to say that money talks and that actors just want to get paid to play roles but if you read that Variety interview, or have seen almost anything that Leslie Grace has had to say about Batgirl including real set photos, you could tell that she was truly passionate about Batgirl and her movie. Playing this character seemed like it meant so much to her and she truly seemed bummed out about losing this movie due to tax write-offs or because DC executives deemed it "unwatchable" and the DC fans like myself who have always been pro-release the Batgirl film, we're gonna have to give them their very deserved props. 

I think a lot of DC fans will agree me when I say that as a group, we're very vocal and tend to call out DC almost immediately when it comes to their terrible decisions. We also, though, are very loving and appreciative when DC gets things right. Whether you're pro-release the Batgirl film or anti-release the Batgirl film, you're gonna have to give James Gunn and DC Studios props if they managed to somehow mend that previously seemingly burnt bridge between them and Leslie Grace. Sure, at the very least, I know people will get hyped as most people continue to agree that Gunn has knocked it out with the recent castings for Superman: Legacy but it's definitely going to be time for us to give DC Studios credit if they mended that bridge. If this scenario is true, I only have one ask of Leslie Grace - please, for the sake of everyone's sanity, release some sort of statement discussing the mending of that relationship if this is the case. If this is the outcome you managed to get, the least I'd want you to do is tell us (the fans) that you're more than happy with the end result of whatever likely long discussions you had with DC Studios regarding the direction of Batgirl in the DCU. Let us know that because you're happy with that direction, it's time for us to stop pushing for the old film to be released and that it's time for us to move on from that as you're very happy with the plans DC Studios has for Batgirl. If there is any thing that the DC fandom needs with the many loose threads we've seen over the years, it's closure and the unfortunate cancelation of Batgirl is one of the few loose threads that could definitively be closed with a happy ending, assuming this is the case.

Until anything is made official, I'm going to lean on this is nothing more than a coincidence and since that's the case, I will always be pro-releasing the canceled Batgirl film. The minute we find out otherwise, I'll let it go as I'd be more than happy to see Leslie Grace get a happy ending despite the long and tumultuous journey she had to take to get Batgirl on the big screen.
