Production Details

What we know about the Batgirl movie production.

Key Facts

  • Recent test screeenings were "so poorly received by moviegoers that the studio decided to cut its losses and run for the sake of [DC Entertainment's] future (NY Post, 8/2/2022)."
  • The Batgirl film is being planned for HBO Max (5/19/2021).
  • Joss Whedon exited the project in February 2018; a move that reflects Warner Bros’ "desire to seek more female directors — particularly on projects centered on female characters" (Hollywood Reporter, 2/22/18).
  • Based on the DC comic book character created by Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino.
