In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, this is what Warner Bros-Discovery had to say about dumping Batgirl…
“The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max. 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.”
And yeah, The animated Scoob! Holiday Haunt got the boot as well, mid production. But in the studio’s defense, the original Scoob was hard to watch, and not a break-out hit. So why a sequel was green-lit is anybody’s guess… Though the studio also denied claims that either film was cancelled over quality issues. Which rings false, given the other info out there. But yeah, this is Warner Bros-Discovery’s hallow attempt at an amicable break-up. But I don’t think the creatives who worked on either film will feel placated…
