Kevin Smith Calls Batgirl Cancellation a 'Bad Look' for Warner Bros.
Writer, director and comic book movie fan Kevin Smith says that Warner Bros.'s sudden cancellation of Batgirl was the wrong move for the studio.
"It's an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina Batgirl movie, you know what I'm saying?" Smith said in a conversation with actor Ralph Garman.
Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah did a couple episodes of Ms. Marvel and it was a wonderful fucking show. Great looking.
Arbi and Fallah directed two episodes of Marvel Studios' Ms. Marvel series on Disney+.
Test audiences for Batgirl reportedly compared the superhero film to a "bad episode of TV," though they praised Leslie Grace's performance as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl.
Overall, Batgirl was reportedly described as "a low-stakes superhero origin story with style and strong performances."
