Warner Bros cancels Batgirl Grace film

The batgirl feature film starring Leslie Grace will not see the light of day at all. Multiple reports on Tuesday confirm that the film has been cancelled at Warner Bros and will not be released on streaming platforms or in cinemas, despite it already being in post-production.

The New York Post broke the story of the cancellation, citing an unnamed source who said the film had performed poorly during early test screenings, leading Warner Bros to cut its losses.

The film has a busted budget due to the Pandemic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film was greenlit in 2021 as part of a series of films created specifically for the HBO Max streaming platform. According to Variety, Warner Bros Discovery has relegated the company's priorities back to theatrical features, leaving Batgirl without a proper home. Big name stars Michael Keaton and Brendan Fraser were also cast in the film, which was helmed by Ms Marvel directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. Keaton was to have reprised his role as Batman with Fraser playing the villain Firefly. JK Simmons was also cast as Commissioner Gordon, the father of titular hero Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl Grace.
