This like Netflix spending 60 million for Season 4 of Stranger Things and saying fuck it right before they were going to release it.

Burn the script and all of the film and start over.

If they are canceling this cuz they are planning a major reboot of everything.

They might as well cancel everything else that is coming out.

Just put it all on HBO MAX and be done with it.

It’s sounding like they are doing a “Kevin Feige” when he cancelled all the Netflix and Network shows in order to put everything under the MCU.

If DC is planning on doing that, then just announce it now, don’t wait until after everything is release and drop the bomb on all of us.

Josh whedon hasn’t been a part of this in years… lol

this movie was just an HBO max flick… this wasn’t supposed to get theatre numbers. This was for ratings and the movie was finished…

90 million already spent ….

this is unprecedented level shit.
His name was attached in some capacity. So it means it has his stank on it.

Nope. Stranger Things already has an audience and is good.

Another big factor is Christina Hodson wrote the screenplay. The same person who wrote Birds of Prey. She also cannot be trusted.

Her and Josh can leave together.

Truly,
I was really looking forward to that "BATGIRL" film because of Abdil & Bilall.
Those Cats have been on a roll since "BAD BOYS FOR LIFE" and "MS. MARVEL".
(along with "SNOWFALL". Which I haven't watched.)

This shit going on at WB is fucking nuts.
They just cancelled Batgirl…

the movie was done.

Black Adam, Shazam 2, Aquaman 2, and Flash will be solid. And if it isn't, than scrap it before it's released. I guarantee Flash won't get released unless it's a hit.
You know good and well that movie will be next if Ezra does more stupid shit...

If there going to be another "DC Fandome" event them maybe thats when theyll reveal everything..

If that happens, it won’t be until close to the holidays.

The announcement of this Batgirl May discourage fans from forking over the money for the upcoming Black Adam and Shazam if they are spooked that none of this new material is worth coming out to see.

This announcement can fuck up box office sales if the online rumor machine kicks into high gear.

Bad word on the ‘Net can ruin a film before release.

1.
greater value as a tax write-off...



2.
the problem: Flashpoint

Bat Girl, like Aquaman 2, had Mike Keaton as Bruce Wayne
and it seems that Mike Keaton's Bruce Wayne doesn't make sense w/o Flashpoint

worse for Bat Girl - the plot is based on Batman Beyond
and Bruce Wayne is a leading role.

But this was the best decision. If they would have released the movie even after horrible test screenings, then people would say, why does DC keep putting out these movies.

Scrapping a subpar project is nothing new in business.

It is simply mitigating losses. Just imagine the brand damage and the hindrance to the momentum of films to follow.

Plus, they still had to promote the film which is more capital.

On a related note, this is why most people are unsuccessful traders. Not every stock trade is going to pan out. Some will be losers. That's the nature of the beast. However, most people are not disciplined enough to cut losses.

I tried to catch the last bump in Revlon this morning. Lost $2 grand before 11am. I had to jump out and just cut my loses and move on. No emotions. Just business.

Be patient with winners, be impatient with losers.

it aint my money but this is a very odd move & unprcedented
the movie is effectively done and was intended to go to streaming

if it was absolute dog shit whats the harm in dumping it in the app anyway; even if its only to have new content
they gave Synder the bag to update his flick (i know different regime) after it failed in theatres but dumped this movie so close to the finish line?
