Batgirl being cancelled while Ezra Miller’s The Flash remains on track for release isn’t sitting well with fans.

Batgirl – which was to feature DC Films’ first transgender character – was cancelled on Tuesday (2 August) despite being in post-production, after budgeting issues and poorly-received test screenings.

According to source who spoke to The New York Post, the film was reportedly “irredeemable,” with the source saying that an “unspeakable Batgirl” would have done too much damage to the wider DC franchise.

But DC fans aren’t having it, especially considering the studio’s commitment to continuing production on 2023’s The Flash.

The film has suffered multiple delays due to the COVID pandemic. In that time, lead actor spectacular fall from grace has had a spectacular fall from grace, with allegations of grooming and violence, as well as multiple arrests.

Even before Batgirl was cancelled, fans had urged Warner Bros to shelve The Flash – and now, those calls are growing louder.

“WB not cancelling The Flash after all the Ezra Miller bulls**t but they cancel Batgirl????? HUH?????” tweeted one fan.

WB not cancelling The Flash after all the Ezra Miller bullshit but they cancel Batgirl????? HUH?????
