We are all already exhausted after hearing how Warner Bros. single-handedly abuses the DCEU time and time again. There have been several instances where there have been projects that have failed due to discord in management. So many judgments that may have been commercially successful, but don’t make sense in the larger narrative. And wacky plot points and lackluster executions left the viewer’s jaws dropping, and not in a good way.
So there will be no surprise when we learn that a potentially wonderful project has been removed from the planning board. For context, the particular film in the spotlight here is the now canceled bat girl movie, and we know what you’re thinking…
“There was a Batgirl movie in the works?”
Batgirl’s Unhappy Ending
Now more details have emerged on bat girlthe production. By speaking with Variety, Brendan Fraser, who was cast as the film’s main villain, Firefly, offers some production details on Bat girl. The actor praises Leslie Grace who was cast as the titular protagonist, talks about his performance and reveals the film was “the antithesis of making a simple all-green digital screen”, citing the inclusion of real-life elements like flamethrowers.

” It’s tragic. It doesn’t engender trust between the filmmakers and the studio. Leslie Grace was fantastic. She’s a dynamo, just a perfect performer. Everything we shot was real and exciting and just the antithesis of a simple all-green digital screen. They had fire engines driving through Glasgow city center at 3am and they had flamethrowers. It was a big budget movie, but stripped down to the bare essentials.
He said when talking about what the movie went through to make the movie something different from the generic CGI-Fest that most movies tend to be these days.
Furthermore, Fraser also added that the performance was something that could only be achieved in an environment without green screen, where the dynamic setting and action sequences would have become cornerstones of a classic superhero movie. worship.

Can the Batgirl be saved?
Fraser’s comments reveal bat girl would have distinguished itself from some recent Marvel Cinematic Universe fare by opting against excessive use of CGI (at least in the Fraser scenes), a choice that likely would have won over many superhero fans tired of playing on green screen. The decision by Warner Bros. Discovery to write the $90 million bat girl film off for tax purposes is not irreversible, so it is possible that bat girl could finally see the light of day.
Also, there’s no official cancellation and/or restriction on the character of Batgirl herself, which may point us to an outcome where we might see Grace’s batgirl in action, but not in her movie. self-deserved. Either way going forward, it’s always disheartening to see the mismanagement of Warner Bros. in the DCEU and what it’s costing them and their viewers.
