With Warner Bros. Discovery caught up a storm of complaints surrounding the canceled Coyote Vs. Acme movie, and the eradication of the Looney Tunes franchise from Max, it is only fitting that the ghost of another highly controversial scrapped project is coming back to haunt them. Newly unearthed fight footage from the Leslie Grace-led Batgirl
movie, has renewed questions about why WBD decided to completely abandon the project.
The footage, which features stunt performers Emely Cartagena, Scott Rogers, and Stephen Dunlevy, reveals one of the fight scenes that would have featured in the movie. As you would expect, there are some comments that have said it is probably best the movie was never released, but the vast majority disagree, and now just have even more reason to berate the studio over their decision.

Michael Keaton Shares Candid View on His Scrapped Batman Appearance
Michael Keaton was originally set to return to the role of Batman in the Batgirl movie, but is he sorry it was scrapped?
Batgirl was set to be released before the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran, and in the three years since its cancelation, you would expect that people would have started to forget it even existed. However, the film was set to bring Michael Keaton back as Batman – potentially predating his appearance in The Flash – featured the return of J.K. Simmons as the DCEU’s Commissioner Gordon, and would have given Brendan Frasier the chance to shine as the villain Firefly before he became an Oscar winner for his role in The Whale.
Now, this new footage has just made most fans even more certain that they have been robbed of a movie that would have at least stood up among some of the other DC offerings that were released – and bombed – towards the end of the old DCEU’s run.
