Comics writer and filmmaker Kevin Smith trashed Warner Bros. Discovery for dropping the new Batgirl movie starring Latina actor Leslie Grace even though the reported $100 million movie completed filming.
The film focuses on DC Comics female counterpart to Batman and was supposed to be released on its HBO Max streaming platform this year. (Watch the video below.)
Its an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina Batgirl movie, Smith said on his YouTube series Hollywood Babble-On. I dont give a shit if the movie was absolute fucking dogshit I guarantee you it wasnt. The two directors [Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah] who directed that movie did a couple episodes of Ms. Marvel , and it was a wonderful fucking show, and they had more money to do Batgirl than they had to do an episode of Ms. Marvel.
Smith, who has written several graphic novels for DC, said tax loopholes created by Warner Bros. and Discoverys merger incentivized the cancellation but still believed there was more to the story.
