We have seen The Flash, Black Adam and Shazam 2, said Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav during an earnings call on Thursday. We are very excited about them. Weve seen them. We think they are terrific, and we think we can make them even better.
Notably, it was also reported last week that Warner Bros. Discovery had canceled its Batgirl movie , which had finished shooting and was slated to be released on HBO Max. Batgirl was to star Leslie Grace who, unlike Miller, has not been embroiled in multiple scandals in the title role.
The Flash is set for a June 2023 release.
