Batgirl Standalone Film

It's nice to have some DC movies with solo characters.A film like suicide squad and wonder woman are amazing rather than other DC movies.

Something to do with a Male director tackling female superhero in the wake of Wonder Woman in today's entertainment environment.

Given what's come out about his personal life, in this climate? The fact that they let him say it was "we don't have a script" rather than saying "we were worried he'd **** his actors" was a favour, imo. And taking in to account how bad his WW script was reported to be too.

I'm not surprised, but I do wonder what's going to happen next. Barbara Gordon is by no means my favourite character, but I do want to see what they can do with her.

I wouldn't mind seeing Katheryn Bigelow's take on her.

I mean thats just rumours. But We know how good he is with female characters from all his work.

In any case, if that was true, then why bring him on in the first place.

Way too much flip flopping by WB Imho.

If he's to be believed, then whatever his pitch was, wasn't enough to carry an entire movie. It's not the first time it's happened, I imagine, so I don't know if I would put all the blame on WB for this one.

I read that leaked WW script and it really was offensively bad. It was horrifically sexist and it actually seemed like Whedon outright hated the character of Wonder Woman. Steve Trevor spends the whole movie just berating her and humiliating her and shes constantly sexualised and degraded. Its terrible.

I'm honestly a bit unsure of Whedon after the script leaking and AoU and JL being so crap. His star has definitely fallen recently.

^ A bit unfair to blame JL on him.

Not that JL was THAT Bad.

with no nightwing film in sight and now no batgirl film,, wb just continues to show they have no idea what the hell to do ..

Well they are Hollywood Execs.

Joss has always seemed like the guy who acted like a feminist in order to surround himself with hot women. IMO, she and the amazons appear much more like sex objects in JL than WW.

^ Ouch. I hope we dont start hearing allegations against him now as well.

What did they do in JL to be considered sex objects?

I mean lets not forget Snyder is the credited director of JL, not Whedon.

Whedon basically edited it. And the film was rumoured to be unwatchable before he came in.

JL would’ve been shit regardless who directed it

Yeah its a bit silly writing Whedon off for a film he never even ended up making.

Execution is still a Huge part of the movie making process.

Well, they casted this film. They shot it. They planned to release it this year - last I heard, it was for HBO Max.

And now - WB & Discovery have killed it. It will not be seen everywhere. Not even streaming!

They are coming up with many reasons why, but apparently bad audience tests were the big reason.
