‘Batgirl’ Won’t Fly: Warner Bros. Discovery Has No Plans to Release Nearly Finished $90 Million Film

I find this very odd considering that DC/WB have never shied away from releasing shitty movies before.

reply

It has to be BS why not release it on HBO?

Unless now have no plans to use Keaton and plan to use Affleck instead as the DCEU Batman (see Aquaman 2) bc of problems with Ezra as The Flash? in which case maybe The Flash would have to be adjusted to feature Affleck instead? (increase Affleck scenes edit Keaton out? Or maybe cancel The Flash altogether too?!)

Theses comments are something along lines of what I'm thinking

I have a suspicion that this decision has nothing to do with the “Batgirl” film at all. I think it’s a precursor to dealing with the Ezra Miller problem. It’s been well known that this film can’t be released until after “The Flash” as it follows points of that film. That, coupled with Ben Affleck suddenly announced as appearing in “Aquaman 2” could suggest they’re working around the Ezra problem with some “Aquaman” reshoots and moving on from there. It’s very interesting.

Weird article. It’s obviously being pulled from the release schedule because it heavily features Michael Keaton’s Batman, whose return was supposed to be setup by The Flash movie. Same reason Affleck is back in Aquaman 2 (replacing Keaton’s cameo). Batgirl will hit HBO Max eventually, the bigger concern is The Flash and the obvious fallout affecting multiple other DC films.

Discovery brings in Alan Horn to help oversee things. Alan himself being a huge supporter of Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck. Then within days, Ben is seen on set for Aquaman 2, and now Batgirl has been reportedly shelved. A film that was 100% in a new/rebooted timeline. Hmmm

Rebooted timeline is going away and so is Michael Keaton . They may go back to affleck and the flash may be reshot

Hope it's fix these films then it still opens the door to more Snyderverse solo related projects such as Batfleck, Henry's Superman film and that leads to two Justice league sequels

Keaton's old Bat is not the future of the DC cinematic universe. So it looks like WBD are making adjustments and pivoting to what that old WB toxic exec regime was trying to do. Batgirl project should have been a series on HBOMAX if anything in the first place IMO

Incels rejoice. You have 25 white, male-led cb movies to look forward to, now.

reply

^"Goooood, let the butthurt flow through you".

reply

Is there a problem with white male superheroes? Which were created in a predominantly white country with a mostly male fanbase?

Besides, there’s already pre-existing black heroes. They can just use them instead of black-facing white ones.

reply

Yes.

reply

Then don’t watch them 🤷🏼‍♂️

reply

I could say the same to you white dudes who throw a tantrum every time a woman or minority is the star of something.

reply

I’m not white, and it’s not just white dudes who have a problem with unnecessary changes.

We fans were here first, if you don’t like what we’re into, leave. You don’t get to demand changes for something you never liked in the first place.

reply

Nice gatekeeping, nerd.

reply

The gate’s still open, kiddo. But that doesn’t mean the people inside are pushovers.

reply

Say that in Catalan.

reply

First it's you're white then you aren't white so you are a gatekeeper but the reality of the situation is this dude is a political hack.

reply

And blacks still wouldn't go to the cinema

reply

Your the one who knows what a CB movie is nerd

reply

It's because it's what everyone talks and reports about, you dumbfuck.

reply

I'm actually cool so a CB to me is Deion Sanders

reply

Guys: "this movie sucks."
SJW's: "it's because you hate female-led films."

Guys: "I like the actress but I don't like how they changed their race different than the source material."
SJW's: "that's because you don't like seeing any diversity in your movies."

Guys: "this actress really didn't do justice to the character."
SJW's: "if it was a man, you wouldn't be saying that."

Any criticism is faced with racism and sexism allegations.

reply

Guys: "If you like it go see it and support it."
SJW's: "I don't have a job or money."

reply

Like women's soccer who average about 3000 a game.

reply

Euro's set attendance records ....

But tickets were 90% discounted or free 🤦🏿‍♂️

reply

I meant league games. There is a German player who plays for Chelsea FC named Pernille Harder where she said something like, "how can I justify getting paid the same as men when we only get 3000 watching our games?"

reply

I'll bet you're the type of person that pretends he doesn't know his woman is fucking another guy.

reply

That's insane, especially since it was almost finished.

reply

Eric Stoltz was fired from Back to the Future when that was almost finished.

reply

He was fired after 1/3 was filmed.

reply

Tom Wilson and Crispin Glover spoke to the contrary.

reply

Not the same. They still finished and released back to the future

reply

A waste of money is still a waste.

reply

?Was it a waste of money? The movie is an all timer. Michael J Fox had a lot to do with it. Also the comparison is apples and oranges. One was released and became a huge bockbuster and the other isnt being released.

reply

I meant the Stoltz version. They should have fired him after one week if he was that bad.

As for Batgirl, it's part of an established franchise...so the fact that they gave up on the movie without reshoots looks worse.

reply

One was released and one wasn't. Two totally different situations

reply

I know, but wasting money is still wasting.

reply

True enough.

reply

A polished turd is still a turd.

reply

The only thing about this is that upsets me is that we don't get to see Michael Keaton as Batman.

reply

Eh, we’ve still got two movies with him as Batman.

Besides, we wouldn’t see him Batman in this movie, just Bruce Wayne, and only for a few minutes. He’ll be dressed up as Batman in “The Flash” though, assuming that’s still coming out.

reply

We're only one more Ezra Miller meltdown away from The Flash getting canned as well so don't count that chicken until it's hatched.

reply

Ha. When's he gonna be done with his Lindsey Lohan moment and will we still care when it's over? If he's planning to OD and die he should get on with it.

reply

No way, they'll release Flash even if he he murdered the queen of England on tv and pissed on her corpse.

reply

And like clockwork, Ezra complies.

Felony burglary of liquor from an unoccupied dwelling....

Wtf did he steal, an entire wine cellar?? Good lord 🤣🤣🤣🤣

reply

I will be so ****ing pissed if that little **** Miller has cost us the return of Keaton's Batman!

reply

I'm hoping his scenes will show up on YouTube.

reply

Didn’t they already finish the film? How did they not see the expensive the budget was?

reply

It's Warner Brothers. They love to burn money. That's how we got a $180M Tarzan movie or that $150M Peter Pan movie.

According to The Post, a studio source claimed Batgirl tested poorly and was considered "irredeemable" by WBD brass.


I wouldn't say I was hyped for this. Apart from the return of Keaton's Batman, that is. But damn, I genuinely wasn't expecting it to be a "train wreck"

reply

That's too bad to hear. I liked the directors' last movie Bad Boys for Life.

reply

Bad Boys 3 was way more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.

I had low expectations for Batgirl but not THAT low. A smaller budget comicbook film is really not a bad idea with the right script.

I honestly really really wanna see it now. I wonder if it's Morbius bad (which was just boring shite, unlike the memes) or the first Venom, which was honestly a pretty fun kinda bad.

reply

" was considered "irredeemable""

This never stopped them before. Why now?

reply

LOL'd.

reply

Was Keaton's Batman supposed to even be in this trash? I thought they were keeping him for the Flash movie.
Only person i feel bad about is Brendan Fraser. The rest of the cast and crew can do DIAF.

reply

He was reportedly set appear as a kinda "cameo".

Again, these are just from what's being reported, He only has/had a total of 5 scenes.

Appearing at the start to tell her to stop & at the end with them teaming up.

RACIST WOC BEING SENT TO BACK OF THE BUS

So which is it fag, are gay jokes ok or not? Are you calling me a "closet homosexual" because you think I will be insulted? Is being gay good or bad, you're all over the fucking place.

reply

Nope just exposing you. Either you are little homophobic incel or you are a closeted one. Unlike you I am a grown man who laughs a loser basement dwellers who think calling people gay is an insult.

reply

You fucking keyboard warrior Pusey. Lol. I know being a virgin is frustrating hahaha

reply

Holy shit you can't even spell "pussy" lmfao, I guess your brain really is addled from chugging all that jiz

reply

It's nothing to do with race swapping and everything to do with recognizing a train wreck when you see it. Nobody bashed WB's Catwoman because they cast a black woman as the lead. It was bashed because it was sh!t. I can't remember the last time WB released a decent superhero movie, and another flop would be the last thing they want.

reply

Catwoman because they cast a black woman as the lead. It was bashed because it was sh!t.


And part of the reason it was crap was because she was raceswapped.

The problem with woke culture and why it won't go away is because too many people keep making excuses why it's okay for it to persist.

reply

Nope it is because it was a bad film. Batman Year One comic is considered one of the best Batman comic books of all time. Catwoman in that comic book is not white. Also The Batman is considered one of the best reviewed Batman movies to date. Your stamp of approval is not needed in order for people to consider a film great. You are not the sole authority on what determines what a good film is. Save your nazi white supremacy ideology and get off this board. You are a scumbag that needs to be educated properly.

reply

2004... how would casting Charlize Theron (Oscar winner) instead of Halle Berry (also Oscar winner) make the movie any better?
