Associated Press<\/a>, the actor didn’t hold back on how he feels about Batgirl being shelved by the executives at Warner Bros. Discovery.<\/p>\n“A whole movie,”\u00a0he started. “There were four floors of production in Glasgow. I was sneaking into the art department just to geek out. The product \u2014 I\u2019m sorry, ‘content’ \u2014 is being commodified to the extent that it\u2019s more valuable to burn it down and get the insurance on it than to give it a shot in the marketplace.”<\/p>\n
“There\u2019s a generation of little girls who don\u2019t have a heroine to look up to and go, ‘She looks like me,'” he said of Grace’s Batgirl before expanding on his concerns about where the industry is heading. “With respect, we could blight itself. We\u2019re still chopping our way through the tall grass of AI and all this stuff.”<\/p>\n
The plan had been for\u00a0Batgirl\u00a0to lead to this Dark Knight taking centre stage in a\u00a0Batman Beyond\u00a0project, likely meaning we could have looked forward to the\u00a0Bat Family being part of the now-defunct DCEU.<\/p>\n
Instead, DC Studios has rebooted the franchise as the DCU, with a new Bruce Wayne set to take centre stage in\u00a0The Brave and the Bold. Unfortunately, James Gunn and Safran still haven’t found their Batman, and the movie, expected to be helmed by The Flash’s Andy Muschietti, appears no closer to becoming a reality, even as The Batman Part II gears up to begin shooting.<\/p>\n
