DC fans 'infuriated,' 'heartbroken' over reports the Batgirl movie has been 'shelved' and will not release in theaters or on HBO Max:

Warner Bros. Discovery won't be lighting the Bat-Signal for Batgirl. On Tuesday, The New York Post reported that the Batman spinoff, starring Leslie Grace in the title role of Barbara Gordon, was"shelved" and won't release in theaters or stream on HBO Max despite a reported $70 million price tag. TheWrap and other outlets corroborated the news, which comes months after DC Comics parent company WarnerMedia merged with Discovery to create Warner Bros.

Along with Grace in the starring role of costumed crime-fighter Barbara Gordon, Batgirl was set to star Justice League's J.K. Simmons as her father, Gotham City's Commissioner Gordon. Michael Keaton, who will appear opposite Ezra Miller in The Flash, reprised his role as the"Burton-Verse" Dark Knight from the 1989 and 1992 Batman films directed by Tim Burton.
