Batgirl’ movie gets ‘shelved’ by Warner Bros. despite $70M price tag: source

This is just a PR stunt. They will "change their mind" soon and show the movie and people will come to see what the fuss was all about.

I doubt it. Telling everyone a movie is terrible is a bad "PR stunt."

But if you are right, we will be impressed. If you are wrong, we will remember.

Its not the 1990's anymore. But I do expect that someone who was involved in making it is so offended that the project was spiked that they will leak it....that we will eventually get to judge for ourselves.
 
I believe the test audiences, who apparently said it was horrible. They could have tried to make it a bit better, but they would be just trying to fool people into buying tickets for a horrible disappointment. It would destroy the rest of the DC Universe, and was not worth it. Even if they could have made back $50 million of their losses, their next movies would lose $100 million of what they would have made.

Was it because of terrible customs? You might be right.

the movie itself was irredeemably bad and not JUST because of this... but going asexual on the girl part of Batgirl certainly didnt help

I doubt it, if it was just a matter of being bad to the point that it made no sense to put it in the theaters they would have put in on streaming and been proud of it if it was not offensive to WOKE. Losing money sell WOKE ideology is now a badge of honor, it is proof that one is properly committed to the cause.
 
Holy millions down the drain, Batman!

The DC Comics film “Batgirl” will be completely “shelved” by Warner Bros., a top Hollywood source told The Post.

That means it won’t hit theaters or the streaming service HBO Max. Fans will not see it.

Go woke go broke

Not the first. The DC universe is getting its ass kicked by the Marvel universe.

From the link:

"“The Batman” performed OK at the box office for Warner Bros., netting $770 million with an R rating, and got good notices. However, the only DC Extended Universe film that has managed to beat the $1 billion box office gross of “The Dark Knight,” which came out 14 long years ago (“Joker” with Joaquin Phoenix was not part of the DCEU), was “Aquaman.” Meanwhile, Marvel’s pandemic-era “Spider-Man: No Way Home” has grossed $1.9 billion worldwide and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” has managed a solid $955 million.

Lately, DC’s nasty star drama has eclipsed the buzz — such as it is — surrounding its movies."
 
Why is it being shelved? Was Batgirl a straight white female? Or maybe Batgirl was an actual girl? Dont they know Batgirl must be gay trans handicapped black XY chromosome woman? No one to blame but themselves

An unattractive butch would have been fine.....Hollywood does not want good looking people now, they want fat and ugly for their dreary propaganda increasingly.

Harley Quinn is not asexual, but she is quirky, fun, and surreally real. In the middle of a fight scene in Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn offers Black Canary a hair tie... It just seems real. Women, and many men relate to the realness of it all. That movie did great.

Random side note: Black Canary is played by Jurnee Smollett-Bell, the sister of Jussie Smollett. It is full of "gender-positive" plot elements. And it did great. Batgirl is just bad... It has nothing to do with politics.
 
Spending so much money on nothing does not make any sense...I wonder if the plan is to turn the project over to new people for salvage, that they are currently looking for someone to take that on.
 
"We dont believe in this movie" is actually "We dont believe in this team that is making this movie, we will try to find a new team that can salvage what has been shot".
 
A movie failed... You understand that not all cancelations are part of "cancel culture"... In fact, I am beginning to think "cancel culture" does not even really exist.

Marvel is doing great things. It is extremely successful, feeding on its own success. Meanwhile, DC is failing or maybe just being mediocre, which seems like failure compared to Marvel. How can a universe with Superman and Batman be only mediocre? It blows the mind.

Part of the problem is they let their director get out of control. Marvel has each movie, and TV series feed into a greater universe. That does mean that every director has to fit his piece into a bigger puzzle, so has less control.

I could go on, but none of it is about being "woke." If anything, the Marvel directors are more woke than the DC directors... I am thinking of Joss Whedon.. Whedon is very talented, but he is also very creepy.
It was a financial decision, here’s a better article.

Its Bull Shit....almost all of the money to make the movie had already been spent, and they could have released it without spending a dime on marketing. They decided to not, which demands a better explanation that what we have gotten. They could have even finished it and sold it if they did not want their name attached, and gotten something rather than nothing as they have.
 
Capitalism is the power of no, more than the power of yes. That is why there is so much talk about creative destruction.

Throwing an almost done movie in the garbage has almost never been done, because it makes no sense.

This story is not over.
