About a week ago, industry observers noticed that Comic-Con 2022 came and went without any mention of Batgirl<\/em>, the Warner Bros. film shot over the winter and apparently due for release in 2023. Today, the New York Post<\/em><\/a>, The Wrap<\/em><\/a>, and other entertainment outlets report that despite being in the final stages of post-production, Warner Bros. and DC Films have decided not to release the movie on any platform or in theaters.<\/p>\n

The list of American unreleased films on Wikipedia<\/a> is not a long one, and the flicks on it usually have a reason for being there \u2014 see the 1994 Fantastic Four<\/em> effort or Netflix\u2019s shelved Bill Cosby 77<\/em> project<\/a>. The Post<\/em> says this film will join them due to new Warner Bros. Discovery executive David Zaslav and new Warner Bros. head Michael De Luca seeking to cut costs and focus on movies made for theaters instead of straight-to-streaming. Batgirl was directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (Bad Boys for Life<\/em>) and stars Leslie Grace (In the Heights<\/em>) in the title role.<\/p>\n
