BATGIRL: New Behind-The-Scenes Photos Reveal More Shots Of Leslie Grace's Hero And The Evil Firefly

Another round of behind-the-scenes photos from Batgirl have been revealed, and while they primarily focus on Leslie Grace's Barbara Gordon, we also get to see more of Brendan Fraser's villainous Firefly...

Yesterday, we got a first look at Batgirl star Leslie Grace suited up in what looked set to be her Caped Crusader's final, armoured costume. 

That's about as much as we'll ever see of the movie, with behind-the-scenes photos the only way this scrapped project is ever going to see the light of day. 

After declaring Batgirl a "tax write-off," Warner Bros. Discovery clearly has no intention of releasing the movie. In fact, after hosting what's been described as a "funeral screening," the entire thing was reportedly deleted and directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were forbidden from having any further access to it. 

The studio was obviously looking to avoid another #ReleaseTheSnyderCut scenario.

Zack Snyder allegedly stole his cut of Justice League and proceeded to release screenshots online to fuel the movement. However, in this instance, the Batgirl directors have previously acknowledged that their film wasn't close to being ready as there was no VFX and reshoots needed to take place.

Going back to these photos, we see more of Grace in her first Batgirl costume, while she was also photographed alongside Brendan Fraser's Firefly. The Doom Patrol star was set to play the movie's big bad, and previously called the decision to scrap Batgirl a "tragic" one, noting that "it doesn't engender trust among filmmakers and the studio."

It's previously been reported that one of the reasons the movie didn't see the light of day in theaters or on streaming is because it was a little low-budget. Looking at these photos, it's hard not to walk away with that impression, and comparisons to The CW's offerings no longer seem as unfair as they once did. 

Check out this new look at Batgirl below.

fraser prolly would have been one of the few good dceu villains lol, assuming his performance here is on par with his recent work. oh well.

@tmp3 - ''on par with his recent work'''

And not just his recent work. I cannot think of a performance that I've seen of him I didn't like

@bkmeijer1 - he was a really good leading man in the 90's, and now he's transitioned into a solid character actor. good in both, but just different output. excited to see him in killers of the flower moon

@tmp3 - true. Think Firefly may have been closer to his 90s roles, but I think he could've made Firefly really sympathetic as well.

And yeah, Killers of Flower Moon is something I look forward to. Not just because of Fraser, but the wole cast and the late-Western setting.

The only tragedy would have been if this steaming pile of elephant poop had ever seen the light of day.

Aside from Fraser, there’s no aspects of this movie that ever looked to be good.

The fact that this film was going to be released on HBO Max while BLUE BEETLE was going to theaters said it all but the fact that Zaslav thought it wasn’t even worth putting on HBO Max confirms it.

Is it a bummer that this film will most likely never see the light of day? It is for the people who worked on it, totally, it sucks. Am I bummed? Lol nope - everything about this looks worse and worse - including the final CW cringe suit. They should have never made this film until they had a grear script with great directors and a solid budget so it doesn’t look like a TV movie lol

@TheLobster -


*the fact that Zaslav thought it wasn’t even worth putting on HBO Max confirms it.*


I don't trust zaslav judgment at all. This is the guy that said black Adam was awesome and the beginning of the new Dcu😐...



This is the guy that has kept child groomer Ezra Miller and has remained silent on his actions.😐...



This is a guy that has nooooooooo experience producing scripted content and is know for trash tv like My 500 Pound Life and awful programming like that.🤕



He also cancelled DC animation when he should've cancelled some of his disturbing reality tv nonsense 😐

@AmazingFILMporg - I still stand by what I said. Im not saying I’m a fan of the guy but when he saw the rough cut and decided a tax break would be better - that says something.

If word was that the film is actually good (like word is that The Flash is - which by the way Ezra is a POS but the groomer allegations got shot down by the actual teen involved FYI) or that anything looked interesting or even appealing - then I would be bummed but nothing looks good to me. Every glimpse is further confirmation that this was very much going to be a CW pilot level of cringe and I’m good off that.

Time is the highest currency - let’s not waste it on mediocre material.

@TheLobster -

*the groomer allegations got shot down by the actual teen involved*


He had a relationship with her since she was like 12 and was even flying her out to his home at that age and now he has a relationship with her😐....




Come on🕵️.......



I don't trust someone that said black Adam was good and the future of the Dcu😐

@AmazingFILMporg - you’re once again repeating allegations. If they’re true then 100000% lock their ass up but when the direct teen involved is saying none of that is true and that their parents are crazy? I’m going to believe them.

@TheLobster - They had great directors that killed it with the 4th Bad Boys installment and directed one hell of an episode for their competition in Ms. Marvel. You're so out of touch in this.

@NinnesMBC - imagine saying Bad Boys For Life was great and then calling someone out of touch lmao okay

@TheLobster - I'm just quoting the positive feedback they got from critics and audiences, without saying the box office. But hey skip it over if it helps your argument.

TheLobster - 1/2/2023, 11:52 PM
@NinnesMBC - I mean I don’t really care about the feedback it got - I thought it was pretty stupid and I liked Bad Boys 1 & 2 lol

Firefly's helmet looked good.

"comparisons to The CW's offerings no longer seem as unfair as they once did"

The actual CW's offerings:





















Calling a costume "CW quality" isn’t anymore the dig you think it is.

With that said, [frick] Zaslav and WBD.
