The reported cancelation of HBO Max’s Batgirl movie after it had already been planned, written, shot, and mostly edited– allegedly it had actually already been test-screened– has sent out shockwaves through the movie industry. The reported spending plan on the motion picture was $75 million, with $15 million more spent on top of that after costs rose due to Covid. And Warner Bros. new leadership is simply putting the title on the shelf.
(News reports declare the primary reason is not the motion picture’s quality but it’s mid-size budget plan– yes, it is insane that $90 million counts as a mid-size spending plan, however that’s a discussion for another time– that made it not quite huge enough to release in theaters. It apparently makes more financial sense to the company to bury the film and take a tax write-off than to debut it on the HBO Max streaming service which was the initial plan.)
However Batgirl is far from the only DC Comics project that had remained in advancement at HBO Max. At least one had already been shot: Blue Beetle, starring Cobra Kai’s Xolo Maridueña as the title character. Another, was gone over last summertime– Jurnee Smollett was expected to reprise her role as Black Canary from the Birds of Prey movie in her own solo film. HBO Max was likewise developing multiple television programs spun off from the current reboot of The Batman, including a series about Colin Farrell’s Penguin, and another set at Gotham City’s jail for super-criminals, Arkham Asylum.So far, there’s
no confirmation of the state of these jobs, which is making some fans exceptionally worried. For example:
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. still hasn’t announced any updates about The Flash, which is a huge tentpole film with an enormously controversial star, Ezra Miller, who can’t seem to avoid of trouble. Professionals have actually firmly insisted the movie expense Warners far excessive money to merely shelve it. But they’re shelving an almost $100 film in Batgirl. So who knows what happens next? Anticipate more news on these jobs one way or another soon.Actors Who Turned
