We’re still all in shock following Warner Bros. Pictures’ decision to shelve their upcoming live-action “Batgirl” film. Even moreso after Todd Phillips‘ “Joker” sequel got a release date on the same day. But no one’s shock was more than star Leslie Grace, who took to social media to share her thoughts on the news.
The film’s directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who recently helmed 2 episodes of Disney+’s “Ms. Marvel,” commented on the situation, saying they were “shocked and saddened.”
While we may never know the true reason for the decision to not release the film at all, “Batgirl” is probably not the last casualty of the Discovery-WB merger. We expect to learn more about this and other news later today.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
