WTF Happened to the Unmade Batgirl Movie?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Ok, so technically, we’re cheating a bit as the Batgirl movie starring Leslie Grace isn’t technically “unmade.” In fact, the movie was pretty close to complete, with only the VFX and score needed, although reshoots and more were scheduled before the film could have been ever really called complete. Yet, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s movie was scrapped and in this episode of WTF Happened to this Unmade Movie; we try to give our audience an idea of…well…WTF happened, along with a look at different versions of the movie that could have gotten made in the past.
Indeed, at one time, there were plans to spin Batman and Robin’s Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone, into her own film, which fell apart after that movie’s disastrous reception. There was also a Joss Whedon version of the property, which came pretty close to happening, but in the end, the focus remains on the Batgirl movie that was made…and then unmade. All this, despite the presence of Michael Keaton as the O.G Batman, J.K. Simmons reprising his role as Commissioner Gordon, plus comeback kid Brendan Fraser as the villain, Firefly, and more. It’s a sad saga we dig into in this week’s episode of WTF Happened to this Unmade Movie, written by Bryan Wolford, edited by E.J. Tangonan, and narrated by Bronwyn Kelly-Seigh. Taylor James Johnson is the producer. Do you think the unreleased Batgirl movie has any shot at all of being released? Let us know in the comments!

It's not unmade it's unreleased
EXACTLY!!!
And UNDERESTIMATED!
Kinda. It’s like half done
I'll probably get done like in 2028.😂
I'll be back soon enough feel
Sorry for the one's who won't see it.
Awesome video. Wishing you mentioned the Batgirl played by Dina Meyer in the 2002 Birds of Prey tv series. Although she played Barbara Gordon as Oracle in the whole series there's a couple of flashbacks that reference Batgirl and I think I remember her suiting up as Batgirl even in her wheelchair.
Was about to mention that. Good to see I wasnt the only one
Long bow brah
There's actually another wild Bat Family link to Birds of Prey; Rachel Skarsten who played the amazing character Alice on the DC Batwoman series was Dinah Lance back in 2002 in Birds of Prey.
@@grzetim let's not forget your mom who played bat girl...oh sorry my mistake, fat girl.
@@rasandros yups. I suddenly remembered it while watching this video. I liked Dina Meyer as Oracle. Thought we could use more of her flashbacks as Batgirl. If I remember correctly her bat suit was near comic accurate but with the more realistic colors.
In this day and age I don't see how the movie won't eventually get leaked at some point.
Well for starters somebody would have to give a damn about leaking it.
One of the rare times in a JB video where the "What the fuck happened to" actually makes sense.
Everything Hollywood does deserve a wtf
Don't forget Dina Meyer played both Batgirl and Oracle in the Birds of Prey TV show. Barbara Gordon also appeared on Titans.
I was just just gonna say that. She had a decent suit too
My thoughts exactly
You forget: Dina Meyer played Barbara Gordon/BatGirl/Oracle for 13 episodes of Birds of Prey in 2002
Public problems Ezra Miller has been facing??? I would have gone with huge amount of public insanity Ezra has personally been causing. But that's just me....
You’re not wrong.
Are you trying to say he's gone (wait for it)....
BAT SHIT CRAZY?? LOL
Its not just you
@@Torgo-and-the-Lucifer-Cat Technically they have gone crazy but never mind
Please don't downgrade the Flash movie because of the actor's personal life.
Actually, there was another Batgirl. In the short-lived TV series Birds Of Prey (which 180 degrees different from the Harley Quinn & Birds Of Prey movie) Batgirl appeared in flashbacks played by Dina Meyer. Through the rest of the series the character of Barbara Gordon appears as a paraplegic, though still fighting crime in her own way.
She's in Titans as well.
Not to mention the youtube show "Nightwing"
What year was that exactly? Dina Meyer although still very attractive is playing the part of Batgirl?
Great video. You forgot Dina Meyer. Easily the second best live action Batgirl.
Loved Birds of Prey. Should have gotten more seasons than one.
Dina Meyer is a good actress. She was much hotter than Denise Richards in “Starship Troopers”. It’s ridiculous that her career went downhill over the years with how talented and attractive she is.
I didn’t realize there was a contest giveaway for pointing out Umm Actuallys
@@khathaway414 - Kinda weird how much love that show is getting those days... I remember when it came out, it was the equivalent of *Batwoman* in term of reception & quality.
I did always have a soft spot for Mia Sara's Harley Quinn, but even then I couldn't be bothered to watch the season till the end.
Sherilyn Fenn also played an interesting Harley Quinn in the unaired pilot of the show (finally aired around 2010 when they released the season on DVDs with a bunch of bonuses).
Maybe in a couple decades, some people will lament that *Batwoman* was cancelled too
@@randallflagg3700 Ashely Scott was a highlight for me. Love her.
It had the same writer from BIRDS OF PREY
And she's now behind THE FLASH
birds of prey bombed for a reason
Yeah but movie went through dozens of rewrites, to the point Christina Hodson name is only there in the credits because of contract

Well, Shazam moves forward because it already has a film that was a hit and Black Adam moves forward because of the Rock who is just a separate industry at this point. The Bargirl movie didn't have anything going for it, so they just didn't risk it. It had nothing to do with the lead being a woman. It had to do with the fact that one character has an already successful movie and the other... well the Rock's Instagram account is worth more than the whole budget for Batgirl. The Flash movie? I guess they already put waaaay more money into it and is further into production. Also That is the catalyst to reset all the shitty movies of the past decade.
WB figured that if Ezra played the whole contrite individual accepting that they need help and getting it thing that that would make it all ok. Too bad Ezra is a shitty actor and not commited to even playing that part, let alone actually being contrite OR REALIZING that he is very F@*ked up.
I think it is funny they used corridor crews footage of them making firefly
yeah that's definitely Jordan in those finished shots
Yeah way to not even have them in the credits
@@BitzToBrushStrokes I'm the editor and I am truly sorry for my mistake. I'm a huge fan of their channel and loved their video, but unfortunately, I'm not in charge of this channel and can't edit it or reupload a revised video. I promise, I will be sure to acknowledge all the clips I use going forward.
I just realized Batgirl is kind of a curse for the Batman franchise in the media.
The 1966 TV show was doing pretty well with the two seasons and movie, and then they added Batgirl into the mix to boost the views but it did the opposite and was a flop shortly after. Scrapping plans for her to have her own TV show.
Batman & Robin sucked for many other reasons but the inclusion of Batgirl added salt to the womb. It didn't help the fact that many journalists, the press and crew referred to Alicia Silverstone as "Fatgirl." But the whole reason why the included Batgirl is so they could expand future movies with her but because the film flopped, it was all scrapped.
Batgirl had her own TV show as Oracle in Birds of Prey but it only lasted one season and was bashed by fans.
Batman the Animated Series and The Batman '04 also try to include Batgirl to boost success but it was always near the latter seasons and when the shows had lower ratings and were cancelled after their 4 seasons.
Most of the film adaptation of The Killing Joke is all linked to the inclusion of Batgirl and her own sideplot with her grotesque relationship with Batman, and guess what? Nobody liked the movie because it didn't give them what you wanted until 30 minutes later. And ending with Barbara becoming Oracle.
Finally, it was announced Batgirl may have her very own movie. Joss Whedon was attached. Which was already a sign the movie was cursed from the start. But even after all the casting, filming and stunt work are nearly completed, WB cancels it for a tax pay off and was a time when the DCEU was at it's last grasp of air with false starts.
I hope Batgirl isn't included in The Brave and the Bold movie, or even in the DCU for that matter. Once you bring in Robin, you bring in Batgirl, and Batgirl spells the end of Batman.
Sometimes studios make movies just to hold on to rights, like the Fantastic 4 movie
That’s not the case here. They completely own the rights to all DC IP. They just happen to hire amateur film makers and pulled the plug on a shit movie much later than they should have
Wait!!! No reference to Corridor Digital for the use of the Batgirl trailer they made??
I was just about to post something similar. I double-checked the credits, but I don't see any acknowledgement of their work. Shameful!

What? No Dina Meyer from the often-overlooked “Birds of Prey” series?
Michael Keaton’s Batman needs to be left alone.
Until then we’ll have to wait, and waiting is… LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED! Just made my whole day with that one.
0:34. Why is Carrie Kelly not in that b-roll? She is Robin in The Dark Knight Returns. One of Batman’s best stories.
Because its literally an elseworlds story...Its not Batman cannon and it has 2 garbage trash sequels that drag it down...Nobody cares about Carrie Kelly.
We could all just wait and see if someone leaks the cancelled film
Oh that thing was burned or locked in a vault lol
That's what the director wanted to do but got locked out when it was announced that it would be canceled.
Just like Jerry Lewis' clown movie . Dressed as a clown to March Jewish kids into the gas chambers
Alicia Silverstone sure looks good‼️
Obviously you didnt do your homework on this one.. the old regime wanted to kill off Superman and Batman and replace them with Batgirl and Supergirl.. no fan wanted this .. they have been campaigning to get Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck back for a long time.. so when the new regime came in.. aka David Saslov.. he actually listened to the fans and decided to scrap the old regimes plan and bring back batman and superman.. Dwayne Johnson even said as much if you go and watch what he said about the subject. Sure they used the tax write off as the excuse but the main reason was they did not like the direction they were going under Hamada.. that's why they are reshooting most of the Flash .. Aquaman and Shazam 2 to fit what the fans actually want.. and this came to fruition in Black Adam with the mid credit scene and now Henry Cavill going on social media and confirming he's back as Superman.. please make sure you check all of your sources befrom making such ridiculous accusations.. then people will take you seriously.
Ultimately, the movie was a shoehorned attempt to remove Ben Affleck as Batman by using Batgirl. Given Batgirl's tie to Batman, she cannot exist without him and a short cameo from Michael Keaton as a substitution is just absolutely ridiculous.
Under Walter Hamada, WB was committed to their effort to replace the male heroes with female superheroes thus single-handedly sabotaging DC Comic movies. Frankly, I suspect Hamada was bought by Disney but there's nothing to substantiate that. Since merging with Discovery, however, Warner Bros Discovery has been hard on track to save DC by focusing on The Trinity (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) and Superman's cameo in Black Adam is the first step in getting back to that.
Ultimately, the only loss I see in this is Brendan Fraser's return to the big screen. Hopefully, he gets a chance to return as Clayface in The Batman 2. I have no opinion on Leslie Grace, so perhaps she can return later? Who knows.
Oh no Ben Affleck’s Batman would have been such a huge loss!
Diana Meyer and Rosario Dawson both payed fantastic Batgirls too!
I wonder if they know that most of the batgirl footage is from the fake trailer that corridor did.
I'm the editor. I know. 🙂I'm a huge fan of their channel.
A bit of shame.as.A lot of people in Glasgow were excited about it being mostly filmed around the city and it was all over the news. I really feel sorry for the film crew as all there hard work was for nothing to show.
not really. It would've ruined careers
maybe it was the movie with the least number of connections to upcoming dependent movies? Even Joker and The Batman have sequels that are already planned.
Tokenized Batgirl was more than enough to turn off fans. Not surprised.
Yeah with the whole thing of her treating Micheal Keatons Batman like shit and just looking nothing like the character of batgirl at all, it's a good thing this got canceled.
being that we've been denied Michael Keaton's return as Batman TWICE is the real What The F*×/
Yeah what a loss not seeing a 73 year old man running around in a heavy latex rubber suit.....Ya know I love Batman and Keaton is the best Batman but Jesus Christ I question the intelligence of the people who thought it would be amazing to have a 70 year old man playing Batman again...
@@lutherheggs451 I'm more excited to see a 70 year old Batman than an Ezra Miller Flash. Warners knows I'm not the only one, thats why he's in the movie. Keaton wasn't exactly mobile in either of his movies, but they filmed around it. I have a feeling that they did the same for these ones too.
Unlike other WTF presentations, sounds like other documentaries and too serious for this channel
Shit happened... literally.
There are already enough comments that mentioned it already, but when the intend of the show is to replace the Male Superman and Batman with Super Girl and Bat girl, it's pretty much a no brainer why they canned the movie...
Also Ezra Miller needs to either be sent to prison or jail for a LOONG time. People in fame get away with TOO MUCH bullshit and it disgusts me.
I just want a good Freakazoid! TV series.
Four Batgirls if you include the Birds of Prey tv show. Yeah,, that show was forgotten for reasons, but that version of Huntress (Helena Wayne), made a cameo during the Crisis on Infinite Earths Arrowverse crossover.
Word is from the people who saw the funeral screening was that the show was a really expensive CW pilot with one big set piece
They need to just cut their losses and kill the Flash movie also.
Oh wait... They are waiting for the 2023 Tax season to do that!
🤣
Wait, 'Joker' is a 'batman centered movie'? Wut?
Thank you David Zaslav for scrapping this wretched film.
Studios don't know what to do anymore.
Seems strange they'd dump an entire movie no Streaming or DVD? Can it be that bad? And it has Michael Keaton!
WOW, this channel used to do a good job. They were unbiased and got in, delivered the goods and got out. Over the last few weeks there has been a woman's voice doing the 'reporting' and if you listen to those other videos, you see other examples of what you see here, bias. Her 'report' did not mention that David Zasloft said that he did not want to release this film because doing so would DAMAGE the DC brand. She did not mention the report that the people who had commissioned this film had wanted to use the Flash movie to eliminate both Batfleck and Henry Caville, so that the two could be replaced with female versions of their characters. The move was to make all three leading DC characters female. This information puts a different spin on the 'report', but this woman did not want you to have that different 'spin', because it would have hurt her 'report', which it is clear was intended to tick people off so that they will DEMAND--Snyder-cut-like--the release of the film. These SJWS, never give up, they simply apply a different spin. You see that playing out today in their use of the word 'Latinx'. Like the Colored-Americans which they came up with, and tried to IMPOSE on society, in the 1970s, Latinx is going to have to EVOLVE. Blacks in America did not adopt 'colored-Americans', so they spun it differently, next it was Afro-Americans, African-American, and finally, Black-American, and now -people of color'. LOL. So, stop being controlled by these manipulations. REJECT this film and this attempt by this woman to control you.
You actually did good in the first half of the comment... I wish you can just stay on topic and leave the whole colored Americans argument in another post..........
DC fandom is so schizophrenic. "Woke" has to go to sleep because a Latina girl can't be Batgirl because that would DAMAGE the DC Brand? But a black guy can be Perry White and an Israeli girl can be Wonder Woman and a Hawaiian guy can be Aquaman and a black guy can be Deadshot without DAMAGING the DC Brand because Zack Snyder says so? And nobody can be Batman except Ben Affleck? Robert Pattinson is cancelled? "Snyderverse" Forever? Jared Leto's Joker forever? Joaquin Phoenix is cancelled? Michael Keaton's classic Batman can't come back because he's "Burtonverse," not "Snyderverse," and he's old so he's dissed and cancelled? That's ageist crap. Boris Karloff's classic Frankenstein monster returned when he was in his 70s. Karloff was recognized as the God of the Universal monster classics and the Frankenstein franchise forever.
@@StevieStitches did you hear yourself and how deluded you are?
The woke problem of Batgirl isn't because she's a Latina girl. It is a problem because they plan to do what Marvels did and replace Batman with Batgirl.
The narrative and agenda of that movie, combine with possible super woke scripts and story, is why they said it can damage the DC Brand permanently.
But this very simple fact went over your freaking head, because you prioritize your woke agenda over actual entertainment, and wants to hijack the franchises people loved as a political platform to push your woke agenda
@@sorrycashonly5651 You need to relax and stop lying. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of Snyderverse DC fandom fearing a "woke" Latina Batgirl. It is deluded to fear they planned to replace the Batman franchise with a little HBO Max Latina Batgirl movie. There are multiple Batmen in the DC Multiverse. DC had confirmed Robert Pattinson's Batman is getting a theatrical sequel. After turning down Batman Forever in the '90s because he hated the script and lighter direction of Joel Schumacher, Michael Keaton finally agreed to return to the cowl for The Flash and Batgirl. Ben didn't want to play Batman anymore, combined with a drinking problem. Ben Affleck has said "I had lost my enthusiasm or passion for it." Richard Cetrone was Affleck's stunt man doing the action scenes along with a CGI Batfleck anyway. Ben said "They can put [the suit] on digitally. It’s a little more humiliating to wear, but it’s easier for the digital effects guys." Ben said, "Wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn't want to do again."

@@StevieStitches Jesus h Christ your reply is so out of you god damn mind it’s hard to imagine what type of life you have in the real life.
First of all, STOP projecting and making up shit that people had a problem with Batgirl bexause she’s Latino. Just because you keep repeating this, it doesn’t mean it will suddenly become true
Secondly, there are multiple source of the dceu planning to replace Batman and Superman with batgirl and super girl in their future Justice league movie.
Thirdly, sending me some freaking random links, including one from 2015, is the definition of insanity.
Are you ok in real life? Cos you sound like you need help. Seriously, this is so messed up
Why wait> We know how awesome it would have been. Look at how successful the Batwoman series was!
The WB's Flash is WAY beyond what Snyder's Flash/Ezra Miller is.
The Arrowverse Flash's fight with Savitar had much more intensity than Ezra Miller's Flash had vs. the Parademons of Apokolips.
Batgirl was never strong enough to stand as a solo character.
That's like making a Robin movie.
It was a dumb idea.
It was at that moment (the cancelation) that I lost most of my faith in Warner Bros Discovery.
I really wanted to see Brendan Fraser in another action movie
Edit: geez, I just had a simple geek opinion, and people are acting like I said something offensive
WTF? Why? They have been pumping out subpar films every time and future projects nobody asked for. Black superman, wonder twin movie. etc. Sorry this was a great decision.
@@bofawhatsbofa4593 why should I trust you? I'm just stating how I feel. Am I not allowed to have an opinion?
@@CaptainCat101 because it’s literally been discussed on multiple channels on multiple platforms. And the ratings for the films have shown what I’ve said to be facts🤷🏽♂️
@@bofawhatsbofa4593 I don't care about the facts. Even if the movie sucked, I would still want to see it.
I agree. Brendan Fraser deserves so much better. Even though Black Adam is a big hit, I’m still not trusting Warner Bros Discovery and their ego. Cancelling Batgirl was a huge mistake.
Every clip of this movie looked ridiculous, I’m glad it was canceled. Sends a message to every other director, don’t make crap. It looks like it would have been an insult to the DC universe.
After the new Batgirl has its run in the theater, both films should be released on the home market
Angel is a kickass female hero???
Heard that too... Like its been many years since i watched either show but i don't remember any kickass females in Angel...except when Buffy and Faith showed up on occasion. Fred was awesome, and wicked smart and resourceful, but not a kickass female... and Ilyria inhabiting her body maintained she wasn't really a female but some ancient god that may as well be from shrimp planet for how different it was from a female, and Cordelia is arguably from Buffy... but if you want to argue she's more of an Angel character (certainly more character progression in angel over buffy).... while she leveled up power wise, she wasnt really kickass. Just mysteriously powerful enough to mess with reality when the plot called for it.
@@allisonj7197 Major street cred! I never finished Angel but probably would have if Doyle stuck around.
@@politicalfisticuffs9531 Ah man, show gets better. It takes some odd switcheroos that make you wonder if Jos was changing his plan on where he was going a few times, either intentionally or not, but like decent stuff if a bit dated. They tried to remaster it but like... the lighting is off in an inexplicable way fyi. Also its really dated but like make a drinking game out of obvious stunt doubles and/or clearly plastic masks/bad makeup. :)
You change the Character, you go 'Woke', you go Broke!
Id be happy with just adult themed DC animated movies, they're cheap to make & have more depth than any live action harley quinn type movie, imagine if they used the unreal engine to make a full length feature film with same graphics & mo cap they used for the arkham game series trailers, arkham knight trailer in 4k.
Leslie Grace can still be batgirl in Matt Reeves’s Batman universe
No
Fk no! That’s a real film, taken seriously
Finally, a JoBlo narrator who is not annoying.
Calling Zach Snyder's situation a "family tragedy" slightly underplays what happened to the poor guy.
Thank God this got woodchippered
Leslie Grace is a great actress, but by excitement for the movie ended when they cast her. The reason they cast her rather than an actress that looked like the comic character? Representation. Of course no one came out and said that, they used the old 'best actor for the part' spiel which is bollocks. Your telling me out of all the actresses in Hollywood they couldn't find a white one good enough to play Barbara Gordon?!
It got manhandled then manexplained by despicable Zaslave.
You kept comparing it to the Flash, but flash is getting GREAT reviews behind the scenes...this narrator sounded heavily biased, we need the REAL JoBlo to keep things fairly critiqued.
That Weadon thing is bullshit. If your not going to specifically say what he did shut up.
All that was said specifically was he cut scenes, made them do multiple takes and said he wanted the color adjusted but not why. He didn't say Weadon said I'm to Black.
Snyder adjusted the color he completely adjusted the color in his cut.
Kubrick would film the same two minute scene for a week. There a video on RUclips where he filmed the same actor being shot in Full Metal Jacket for three days. That's not abusive that's you get paid a lot of money to play make believe either do it or shut up and we will get someone else.
If things were that bad walk. It's that simple.
The studio os sinking all that money into a movie they will investigate.
I think the reason Warner isn't saying much is fear of being canceled because Ray is a baby and if they say the truth he will start in on them next.
I was reading today about a reporter it said she made racist comments. Ok what were they?
I'm not defending anyone but there needs to be information before the reaction.
If no one is going to say specifically he said this or touched me there then shut up.
If you don't knkw what was said exactly how can you determine the weight of the words?
Just because someone says this person said a slur doesn't mean they did and it may not be the one you think. Hell today it may not even be an actual slur just something someone decided they would call a slur and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
What's next we are going to try people without presenting evidence?
Well the defendant murdered this person but we aren't going to get specific. Ok shut up.
3:55 Just looking at the outfit for Batgirl right there it honestly looks cheesy AF. She looks like a woman in Cosplay, i know they were trying to do a version of the "Batgirl" from the comics or 1960s tv show? But it's really not working, and if you put that outfit alongside Batfleck, Cavil's Superman and even Momoa's Aquaman outfits, Batgirls stands out horribly.
Really?? So you guys never hear of WB Bird of prey??? Batgirl was on that show and she did show up wearing the custom
"Looks like a CW Arrowverse pilot" You mean that extremely popular and profitable franchise that has been going for 10 years?
We wanted Barbara Gordon not sheneaqa gordon
great editing!
I like that this video had a female narrator. Fitting synchronicity. Thumbs up!
I’m a huge old school DC fan. The last thing I was willing to pay for was Hamada’s vision of an all female holy trinity. Nobody is ever going to see it because Warner Discovery isn’t going to invest in getting it finished, marketing it, and pushing it into theaters or onto a streaming platform where it isn’t going to expand the subscriber base. DCU is about making money. You do that by giving your predominantly male “not down with the message” fanbase what they want.
It is a shame, especially since the movie was/is almost finished. Hope one day it will be shown, maybe in 10 years or so.
This is gonna be real relevant now that Black Adam is out.
People are probably gonna start saying thank goodness they shelved BatGirl
4 Batgirls.
Dina Meyer in the Birds of Prey TV show.
The film looked bad I think David made the right call.
"Batgirl has only appeared 3 times in live action..."
Dina Meyer would like a word.
has anyone talked about what happend to Joblos? and quality of past years
Did Corridor Crew get credited in this video for their Batgirl project? I didn't see anything mentioned...
I'm the editor and forgot to credit them after I did the films listing. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge of this account and cannot reupload a revised video. I feel bad as I'm a huge fan of their channel, but I will do better to credit clips I use going forward.
@@wutamanwutman I think a link in the description would also be gold ;) Either way, good job on the edit!
What a crock of sh*t....the previous WB regime was planning on replacing superman and Batman with supergirl and Batgirl....now that those people are gone and new management has stepped into the picture.... They decided that idea was insane....which is why that moronic movie Batgirl was scrapped and batfleck and Cavill are coming back. Welcome back!!!
Hmm...comic collectors of the 1970s may recall one particular Batgirl issue wherein Barbara Gordon decides not to go out fitting crime one night due to discovering a 'run in her tights'. Following this incident, Batgirl was either cancelled or she was killed off altogether. Alas, one can't be blamed for thinking that the very same male-dominated attitude towards this particular character still does prevail in the film industry......or is that too much of an assertion here?
The answer is so blisteringly obvious.
The movie did what every other female led modern movie does. It was overly aggressive to males, it went woke, it went broke.
Only reason Flash didn't get canceled is because Miller is higher ranked in the Oppression Olympics
It's amazing how much information has to be updated in this video in JUST TWO MONTHS since it was released. There is no more DCEU. Henry Cavill will no longer play Superman, nor will Ben Affleck play Batman. Etc., etc., etc.
7:35 *THIS is WHY it WAS CANCELLED!!!*
*If there will ever be a Batgirl Movie it will need a new plot that won't provoke patriots & their families, which tend to be a large part of superhero film audiences.*
3:24 *Did Christina Hodson infuse her Batgirl with too much leftist liberal hate for patriots & other true Americans?*
I have no skin in this game, and haven't had hope in the DCEU in years, so I'm not really upset about this. I do feel bad for the cast and crew, though. That sucks.
The DCEU sucked the only exceptions were Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
They spent 90 million on that hunk of garbage? The series bombed and they thought green lighting a 90 million film would be a good idea? Some people need to fired.
I wanted to see firefly and batgirl on the big screen I don’t care who the villain is as long as their female or underrated like underrated hero
HOW DARE THE CEO CANCELED BATGIRL!!! HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!! ALSO GIVE ALL HIS EARNINGS FROM BURNING ALL THOSE BATGIRL COPY. HE SHOULDN'T GET ANOTHER JOB IN HIS LIFE EVER AGAIN.😡😠😡😠 I HOPE THEY MAKE ANOTHER BATGIRL SHOW EVEN IS ON TV. IF THEY MADE A BATWOMAN TV SHOW THEN THEY SHOULD MAKE A BATGIRL ONE TOO.
So I guess you didn't do research and used the cliff notes. Bat-Girl was originally a whole other character and yea Barbara Gordon was then created instead of using the one that was there already. Dina Meyer pp lated Batgirl and Oracle on Birds of Prey. You could've easily went to Wikipedia. Since the Leslie Grace film isn't being released that takes away her credit as playing her.
I'd also point out the actress playing Barbara on Titans but she isn't technically Batgirl having retired already
I am willing to bet that the statements that it ran like a CW show were accurate, seeing as how it was originally meant for HBOMAX and so far its the CW shows that have been successful for DC. When it comes to modern properties with female leads, I try never to trust the people who say that the quality of the film wasn't bad. There has been a major disconnect with critics and audiences lately when it comes to female lead films. Even a crappy movies is great as long as a woman is at the helm it seems.
But too, I think this was a pure stand alone film when they are pushing to reboot the DCEU, and with a character that is unproven on the big screen. While I think Miller should be fired, he has pretty much finished filming. So it makes since that proven properties such as Flash, Shazam and Black Atom (who is basically Shazam, just hyper serious) to continue while this not to. But most likely it could mean a reboot. Bring back the actors and staff and give them a bigger script and budget to work with for a full tie in film. That's how I am hoping it goes anyway.
One day I should write a book about this...
the MCU movies
look like live action cartoons
that have no emotional connection
for the audience
Right. Unreleased but hopefully we’ll see it like that pre Fantastic Four movie.
I wish they erased alicia Silverstone Batgirl as well but it's something can't be undone
Actually you forgot Dina Meyer who played Batgirl in the Birds of Prey TV series.
Yeah, Batman changes more often than Batgirl... may be because he's the main protagonist?
The Batgirl movie was cancelled because it's clear that people are sick and tired of all the idiotic blackwashing (race swap) of established white characters into black hat Hollywood have been doing. They need to start creating new black character not replace white.
The only way I think is if we got a new person in charge if we got a new person in charge they may release that batgirl movie for simple fact it’s already made and not everyone is like that guy that’s in charge now
Nice vlog! Its a shame Batgirl was cancelled.
i can Answer this question with 6 words "It went Woke and not BATMAN"
You thought we could distribute a decent film in an indecent cineverse. But you were wrong. The studio system is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel studio system is chance.
Unreleased vs unmade
Favorite robin is Damian
I’m totally uninterested in the DCEU because of its inconsistency in continuity.
You forgot Dina Meyer Birds of prey BATGIRL !!!

Yvonne was terrific. Alicia did well with a flat piece of work. WB and or DC don't know what they're doing.
