HBO Max’s ‘Batgirl’ Shelved, $90 Million DC Film Starring Leslie Grace Had Finished Filming

Batgirl, the DC film that was scheduled to be released on HBO Max later this year, has been shelved. 

The Wrap reports Warner Bros. Discovery will no longer be releasing the Leslie Grace-starring feature, which was directed by Bad Boys for Life filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. The announcement arrives after the $90 million project had already completed shooting.

According to an insider, Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav believed Batgirl “simply did not work,” adding that the decision had nothing to do with the cast or directors. Deadline adds the decision “falls in line with the mandate put down by the new WB regime to cut back on the feature films premiering on the streamer and deciding which films will be released theatrically and which will be shelve.”
