The reason they cancelled Batgirl was simply because it may not be in line with their plans going forward, that excuse of poor test screening was just so that they have a reason not to release it, a movie can't be so bad that it won't be able to release for streaming.
well I wasn't anticipating the movie any way keaton being on it was a turnoff, My own be say make them no touch Blue beetle they may can that Black canary movie as well IDGAF about that one

we on the same line of thought bro.

According to Wikipedia the movie's budget is $90m and it made around $44m in its first weekend, if it doesn't have long legs, I don't see it recouping it's budget in the box office talk less of making a profit.

Honestly not DC per se but old WB execs. Zaslav is doing great cleaning up the prev. WB exec's mess...
Those guys (old WB exec) have practically reduced DC to nothing...
Every month, all we hear or see is one low-budget DC movie being greenlighted by them... The former board tends to arm-twist everyone into their shit, except a few who I believe are/is not ready to shift ground... Black Adam is one great example. You can easily see the quality difference in Black Adam from Shazam: Fury of the gods. The superiority (in terms of quality) Black Adam is wielding over Shazam is very visible to the eyes. Maybe because of Dwayne is literally a juggernaut in Hollywood and he's doing so much for the movie to be a big success.

It's not DC, it's WB/WBD or whatever they go by now.
It's a known fact they are incompetent.
The same people that won't give us a second Superman film but would axe a post production $90m movie without blinking.
Bunch of confused mofos.

From what I heard, Discovery will absorb HBOmax while HBO will continue making premium TV contents.

From what little I gleaned from the Black Adam trailer, it's looking like just another generic Rock film where Rock does a bunch of Rock stuff.
I don't think making a steroid addicted middle-aged actor - who has a clause in his contract mandating that he will always win one on one fights - the face of DC is a step in the right direction.
Axing a completed movie is a testament to that inherent incompetency.
Zaslav has his work cut out for him.

I don't think some of us get that Batgirl was never in WBD plans and was a film greenlit and rushed into production by the old WB which was AT&T.
I think WBD want to move in a cohesive direction, and I suspected something like this would happen when they brought Affleck back.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Flash movie is heavily reshot and Keaton is removed.
Zack Snyder has been hinting a lot at things and this could be him coming back. Ray Fisher tweeted something the minute news broke that Batgirl was cancelled.
Blue Beatle is safe cause originally he was going to be introduced along with Atom.

how much do you estimate the movie would make overall in the box office?
do you think it would make up to $250m
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by IbrahimMav: 4:47pm On Aug 04, 2022
Zaslav is not a messiah, the man's a fuccking butcher.
That's The Penguin show screwed. I was really looking forward to this show.
At least, Peacemaker, HotD and Snow are safe.

The least they can do is release it as a limited series on HBO Max
This way, fans will at least get to see the movie before HBO Max fuccks off forever.
It's worth more than the bad PR of cancelling a completed $90m movie.

Leaks from the flash reveals/indicate that WB's plan was to forge a new Universe with Batgirl and Supergirl as the faces, and Keaton's Batman as a mentor figure...Wonder Woman and Aquaman would be retained ( Most likely for their trilogies and cameos here and there).
This doesn't sit well with Zaslav who wants to move with Bruce Wayne and Clark...
He considers movies like Wonder Twins, Batgirl(not helped by terrible test screening reactions) and incidentally, Supergirl surplus to requirements....
The Flash will most likely get reshoots again or edit out the setting up part(Batgirl and Supergirl) which is more likely in further post production...The gist currently is that The Flash has no internal release date but shelving it is not an option...

HboMax suffers in all this because Discovery is in a lot of debt following their purchase of WB and Zaslav doesn't need things that won't drive subscription, might receive negative reviews and most likely, won't do anything tangible at the B.O(Summary, he needs revenue and he needs it like yesterday).. So he's canning HBOmax originals, auctioning the ones that can get buyers,will most likely shift the ones he thinks will do well to HBO if they aren't made under HBOmax before the merger (Peacemaker S2)...

The talk of bad test screenings is utter crap.
It's funny how you peeps that hardly believes what WB says are now drinking this one hook line sinker cos it's a project y'all don't like in the first place.

It was mainly axed because Zaslav thinks he can't make money off of it. Nothing more, nothing else.

Imagine the crap, "it's so bad it can't be aired even on HBOMax". Utter rubbish which I ain't buying.
So Morbius looks real good. DC turned out prime shït in Suicide Squad and it's still watchable. I ain't buying this cos DC hasn't had a movie real bad since 2017. WW84 and Birds of Prey were mixed.
I do not agree with u, if the new plan is to shun out quality movies and Batgirl no meet the standard I think it's best they throw it out, it won't bring In new subscribers on HBO Max and if it's so bad that fans will complain. I think I stick with the decision. I had an issue with her suit from the beginning was just hoping it's better in the actual movie. I think zaslav has the balls to take the difficult decision and personally I am cool with that

Lady Gaga is officially the new Harley Quinn cool

Perfect casting imo, that woman is a super talented actress.

Joker 2 is coming along nicely.

Apparently the only thing in DC right now with bright and promising future is The Batman and Joker films.

WB are just using the bad screen text as an excuse.
According to THR, both Batgirl and Shazam 2 tested in the 60s ( i.e 60% of the audience loved it). For context, MCU films have consistently tested in the 80s.

But WB isn't going after Shazam 2.
So I have to wonder why they would axe one surplus to requirement movie and spare another when both didn't "test very well."

A good business is when there is a balance between output and consumer satisfaction.
When output doesn't align with satisfaction, then something isn't right.
