WTF Happened to the Unmade Batgirl Movie?

Ok, so technically, we’re cheating a bit as the Batgirl movie starring Leslie Grace isn’t technically “unmade.” In fact, the movie was pretty close to complete, with only the VFX and score needed, although reshoots and more were scheduled before the film could have been ever really called complete. Yet, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s movie was scrapped and in this episode of WTF Happened to this Unmade Movie; we try to give our audience an idea of…well…WTF happened, along with a look at different versions of the movie that could have gotten made in the past.

Indeed, at one time, there were plans to spin Batman and Robin’s Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone, into her own film, which fell apart after that movie’s disastrous reception. There was also a Joss Whedon version of the property, which came pretty close to happening, but in the end, the focus remains on the Batgirl movie that was made…and then unmade. All this, despite the presence of Michael Keaton as the O.G Batman, J.K. Simmons reprising his role as Commissioner Gordon, plus comeback kid Brendan Fraser as the villain, Firefly, and more. It’s a sad saga we dig into in this week’s episode of WTF Happened to this Unmade Movie, written by Bryan Wolford, edited by E.J. Tangonan, and narrated by Bronwyn Kelly-Seigh. Taylor James Johnson is the producer. Do you think the unreleased Batgirl movie has any shot at all of being released? Let us know in the comments!
