Let me guess, they didnt want to sexualize the female lead and are finding out the hard way that 75% of their audience is only in it to see a hot chick kick some ass in tight clothes in the first place.

It's depressing how bad movies are nowadays. You can't even just watch TV anymore and just tune out all the bad shit in the modern world today without being reminded how bad it is again.

A source also told the Post: 'They think an unspeakable Batgirl is going to be irredeemable.'

And Collider Editor-In-Chief Steven Weintraub tweeted: 'Spoke to people that saw #Batgirl, and they said it was a huge disappointment.

'Also that the costumes looked cheap, especially Keaton’s Batman costume.

If they paid Agent Provocateur design and make the costume, I would watch the movie regardless of how bad it was.

Warner Bros executives have dramatically scrapped its $100million Batgirl film after it received poor test reviews.

The decision to axe the film — which was slated to be released on HBO Max later this year — came after a series of test screenings were panned by audiences, an unnamed source told the New York Post, and studio execs thought it would hurt the future of the brand as executives seek to streamline the DC Extended Universe.

Batgirl was first given the greenlight in 2021 as part of a company-wide effort to create feature films specifically for HBO Max, Variety reports.

It would have featured Latina actress Leslie Grace in the titular role as she battled Brendan Fraser's Firefly who turned to a life of crime after he is fired from his job, loses his health insurance and could no longer care for his sick wife.

The film was expected to reboot the DC Extended Universe after a series of failing films like Batman v Superman and The Suicide Squad.

Netflix and Disney have both taken hits from releasing woke garbage on their platforms. I imagine the feedback had to be so negative that they're afraid releasing the film will actually hurt them financially more than shelving it.

Turns out there is no such word as 'actress' so we are safe here.  For the moment that is.

I predict that this film will become a cult classic that they show at the B line movie theaters after the bars close. They can even have $1 hotdogs and $5 pitchers, limit 3 per customer.

I get that they’re trying to reduce the reliance on sexual objectification because of the wokeness aspect, but you can make a decent costume that doesn’t look like a Wish.com motorcycle suit or a stripper’s Halloween costume.

The epic film would’ve been Keaton’s first return to the Batman character in over 30 years, and this could be Keaton’s second strike with DC Comics’ films. He is also supposed to star as Batman alongside troubled actor Ezra Miller — who uses they/them pronouns — in “The Flash,” a movie that has been shelved until June 2023 due to their bizarre behavior and allegations of grooming allegations against them.

“The Flash” would include not only Keaton but also Ben Affleck as his “Justice League” version of the superhero.
