Why cancelling DC's Batgirl movie is a huge — and surprising — mistake:
While it's safe to say that the live-action DC multiverse is always in a state of flux, it was met with one of its most surprising developments yet on Tuesday, when it was announced that Warner Bros. is shelving its Batgirl movie, electing not to release it in theaters or on their HBO Max streaming service.
Along the way, Barbara has donned the moniker of both Batgirl and Oracle depending on the context, and has inspired legions of fans in the process — particularly those who were eager to see positive representation for disabled characters in mainstream comics. She's also arguably remained one of DC's most well-known female heroes, with projects like DC Super-Hero Girls continuing to create new generations of fans.
A statement from Warner Bros. confirmed that Batgirl's cancellation was due to a"strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max", with reports hinting that it the film's $90 million budget made it too expensive to release solely on streaming, but not enough of a larger-scale blockbuster to premiere in theaters.
