Menyusul pembatalan mengejutkan dari HBO Max Batgirl, para penggemar di media sosial ramai memberikan reaksi mereka kepada Warner Bros yang dianggap mengecewakan.
Padahal proyek DC yang satu ini telah memasuki tahap syuting dan beberapa behind the scene dari proses syuting tersebut telah dibagikan di laman resmi Warner Bros.
Sayangnya, Warner Bros mengambil keputusan yang mengecewakan penggemar. Mendadak, film yang akan dibintangi oleh Leslie Grace ini justru dibatalkan tanpa alasan yang jelas.
Batgirl awalnya direncanakan sebagai film original HBO Max yang kabarnya tayang perdana pada akhir 2022. Syutingnya bahkan telah berlangsung pada 31 Maret lalu.
It’s one thing to cancel a project before it’s started production.
It’s infuriating when it happens while it’s already in production.
It’s INEXCUSABLE to cancel it when it’s literally almost finished.#SaveScoobHolidayHaunt #SaveBatgirl— The Unofficial Nimona (2023) Hype Account!! (@SaveNimona) August 3, 2022
Keputusan ini dianggap sebagai keputusan langka bagi pihak studio dan menimbulkan kontroversi di berbagai media sosial. Sebagian besar penggemar merasa kesal karena Batgirl dihapus oleh Warner Bros.
Regardless how you feel about Batgirl or Scoob, they were nearly complete. And to scrap them all together to "save money" is probably one of the dumbest cop-outs we kept hearing as of late. Both projects deserved better.#SaveBatgirl #SaveScoob

Pembatalan ini menimbulkan kontroversi baru di mana para penggemar mendukung film DC dibubarkan, dengan berbagai alasan yang dianggap kurang masuk akal.
Dilansir Screen Rant, Rabu (3/8/2022), alasan Batgirl dibatalkan masih belum dikonfirmasi oleh pihak Warner Bros. Hal ini menimbulkan tagar #SAVEBATGIRL di Twitter.
Warner Bros is a joke. The Batgirl team does not deserve this. #SAVEBATGIRL.

A line that should never be crossed has been crossed, this is extremely offensive towards the fans & the cast, everyone who worked on this film. My heart literally hurts for them. pic.twitter.com/Q5gofGidWw
What I saw from the Batgirl set photos & set videos! Batgirl is definitely a big theatrical event movie! My whole heart breaks for Leslie Grace as she would have been a great Batgirl! Brendan Fraser would of been fantastic as Firefly! This is a huge mistake for DC! #SaveBatgirl https://t.co/o5gipABAsD

Warner Bros cancelled the Batgirl movie because it didn’t feel like it had the scale of a blockbuster - as if a lot of us don’t want smaller scale super hero stories… not every super hero flick has to be a world ending threat. pic.twitter.com/M1e11ijxy5
