People are now reporting batgirl test screening WERE positive so if true this is all about money.

Update on scoob. Dave down under says he heard scoob 2 is dead also. Rip. So, both are gone.

There’s conflicting reports. Some have said execs who saw Batgirl called it “irredeemable”. So they thought it was so bad that they were unwilling to dump another $20-30 million to fix all the problems and to have it still potentially bomb.

If Flash comes out I can definitely see them changing the ending. Keaton will not be the DCEU Batman going forward and Supergirl will not replace Superman.

They don't shelf bad ones also or we never would have got catwoman or steel.

Even x-men dark phoenix got released by disney as bad as it was.

Different people running those studios. This whole thing is pretty unprecedented.

Execs who work at a studio and people off the street picked for a test screening don't look at a movie the same way.

Exces wanted over the rainbow cut from wizard of oz cut after a test screening also.

I have not seen it so how do i know how bad it is. But it's strange a almost done film good or bad is just thrown out.

Even ghost rider 2 got released.

This are some other things being said about the movie by an entertainment journalist (which i don't believe)

[Gaastra]

Who knows it could be bad. At least put it on HBO max or on dvd if nothing else if it is bad. We have two different reports on the text screenings.

Sounds like it will join the unreleased fantastic four, gen 13 and justice league films.

[Tofali]

There is no way that the directors of Bad Boys For Life and the first and last episode of Ms. Marvel who directed with such style and have a bad costume escape their eyes. It makes no sense at all.

Someone on another site--

Think about this. Cats got a release but not batgirl!

Variety claims it came down to tax write offs.

Of course it came down to money with Zaslav being involved, he’s gotta find $3 billion in cuts after all.

[Gaastra]

That's worse than bob at disney. Good job WB. You screwed the actors and film makers of both scoob and batgirl for taxes.

When pixar got screwed at least we got to see their films.

Batgirl Movie CANCELLED - The Flash, HBO Max NEXT?! Warner Bros Discovery DC Breakdown

Variety claims it came down to tax write offs.

Welp this is def it. Fits Zaslov's MO and Variety is probably the best source you will get. What a shame

[Nite-Wing]

This is one of the few straight up undoubtedly bad moves that WBD has made
They are absolutely getting killed for this and god forbid they manage to somehow still release Flash

No words on the proposed decision to have Discovery Plus absorb HBO Max instead of the other way around.
The people in charge are really really out of touch

[BlackClaw]

This move will scare off many creatives from working with WBD in the future. Because why would you want to work for a studio that can scrap your movie when it’s pretty much done?

[Primal Slayer]

Studios getting tax write offs for not releasing a film is.....so America and rich corporate.

[Johnny Thunders!]

HBO max might be the best streaming service, they better not cancel it.
