Warner Bros. axes $90 million ‘Batgirl’ movie that had been planned for HBO MaxIn an unusual move, the studio decided “Batgirl” didn’t merit either a streaming debut or a theatrical release, and has instead opted to write off the $90 million movie. Oh no!.. a multi billion dollar company just got a $90 million dollar tax write off! Good! This woke movie was probably going to suck.

Warner Bros. axes 'Batgirl,' won't release $90M HBO Max filmWarner Bros. has axed the $90 million “Batgirl” film planned for HBO Max, according to a person connected with the film who was not authorized to speak publicly about it. They dont want to be a laughing stock, with a 1 star IMDB rating and a negative 100 million bank roll. Sounds like a dumpster movie. And with what gets released these days....it must be BAD... This seems incredibly odd to me. Considering its not the only mostly complete film to be axed. Is there controversial news about to come out that would effect these films?
