“It’s an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina Batgirl movie,” Smith said in the video. “I don’t give a** if the movie was absolute dog** — I guarantee you it wasn’t. The two directors who directed that movie made a few episodes of Ms. Marvel, and it was a great show, and they had more money to make Batgirl than they had to make an episode of Ms. Marvel and more. .” When pressed for answers about the reason behind the cancellation of the DC film, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discover’s David Zaslav said, “We’re not going to start a movie until it’s ready.” Zaslav didn’t comment directly on Batgirl, but did provide insight into their plan for DC films in the coming years, adding, “Our ambition is to bring Warners back and produce great, high-quality movies. We can build a long-term sustainable growth business outside of DC. We don’t release a film before it’s ready.” Following the news that Batgirl would be shelved, the film’s star took to Instagram to express her gratitude for being associated with the film. “Querida familia! Following the recent news about our film ‘Batgirl’ I am proud of the love, hard work and intention of all our incredible cast and tireless crew for this film over 7 months in Scotland. I feel blessed to have worked among absolute greats and forged lifelong relationships in the process! To every Batgirl fan – THANK YOU for the love and faith, allowing me to take on the cape and be, as Babs said best, “my own damn hero!” Batgirl for life!” wrote Leslie Grace.
