With a budget of between 90 - 100 Million, "BATGIRL" would have easily made its money back. You have 2 Moroccan Directors who came off "BAD BOYS FOR LIFE", which made at least four times its budget back. Along with a rising star Afro-Latina.
Instead, WB and Zaslav began a negative campaign on that film. Coming up with all sorts of WHITE Excuses not to release it. Putting more faith in a way more problematic Production, with an even more problematic WHITE Actor. Throwing even more money times the entire budget of "BATGIRL".
Play Stupid WHITE Games.
Win Stupid Prizes.
They should have rolled the Lead Actor dice with Grant Gustin.nI truly believe Gustin (and Co.) would have survived the TV - Film Transition.
Though "THE FLASH" as a TV has sucked most of the time. Gustin and that Cast are absolutely beloved. And a known quantity. They deserved a Film Transition.
Yeah.
"THE FLASH" Movie deserved to flop.
