"Batgirl movie unlikely to be released."
Warner Bros. may soon sell the distribution rights for the animated film "Coyote vs. Acme" to Ketchup Entertainment. This comes after the movie had been shelved despite being completed. The studio made this decision as part of a $30 million tax write-off. Fans of DC Comics hoping for a release of the "Batgirl" movie should not get their hopes up. Warner Bros. announced in 2022 that they would not release the film, which was meant for HBO Max. "Batgirl" stars Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon and Brendan Fraser as Firefly. Recent reports suggest that "Batgirl" is unlikely to ever be released. It was still in the post-production phase, with some filming still needed. Test screenings of the film reportedly received negative feedback, which may have influenced the studio's decision. This announcement has disappointed many fans who were looking forward to the movie. The cast also included notable actors such as J. K. Simmons and Michael Keaton. With "Coyote vs. Acme" potentially set for a 2026 release, some are still hoping for "Batgirl" to find a way to be shown.
