Grace told Variety, “I haven’t heard” from new DC Studios bosses Safran and/or Gunn. There was definitely potential for a good film, in my opinion.” Grace said that “we were expecting XYZ amount of support and money to expand scenes - to do pickup shots and those kinds of things,” so to instead learn that the film was being left to die on the vine “in the interest of writing down some debt… really stung.”Īs for Safran’s “not releasable” comment, Grace said that she only saw the incomplete film that was put forth for testing - “There were a bunch of scenes that weren’t even in there” - “But the film that I got to see, with the scenes that were there, was incredible. Then came hysterical laughter like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me?’” In an in-depth Q&A with our sister site Variety, Grace shared that when she first heard of Batgirl‘s cancellation, “I thought I was getting punked, but it checked out.
It would not have been able to compete in the theatrical marketplace it was built for the small screen.”
It would have hurt those people involved….
I actually think that Zaslav and the team made a very bold and courageous decision to cancel it, because it would have hurt DC. Peter Safran, who along with producing partner/filmmaker James Gunn are the new heads of DC Studios (fka DC Films), very recently weighed in on WBD CEO David Zaslav’s decision to shelve Batgirl, saying, “I saw the movie, and there are a lot of incredibly talented people in front of and behind the camera on that film.
