Trans actor Ivory Aquino has shared a heartfelt tribute to her Batgirl co-stars after the movie was cancelled despite being in post-production.

Warner Bros Discovery officially announced the cancellation on Tuesday (2 August) after an anonymous Hollywood source told The New York Post that the studio thinks “an unspeakable Batgirl is going to be irredeemable”.

Batgirl star Leslie Grace then posted a tweet shortly after saying that she is proud “of the love, hard work and intention all of our incredible cast and tireless crew put into this film”.

She then posted a follow-up clip of her singing while suiting-up in the superhero costume, with the caption: “I feel blessed to have worked among absolute greats and forged relationships for a lifetime in the process! To every Batgirl fan – THANK YOU for the love and belief, allowing me to take on the cape and become, as Babs said best, my own damn hero!”

Aquino shared Grace’s video, saying “forever my Babs” in a moment that is as sweet as it is heartbreaking.
