It Sounds Like Warner Bros. Has Cooled On The Idea Of A BATGIRL Movie Following Joss Whedon's Departure

We heard last week that The Avengers director Joss Whedon has decided against writing and directing a Batgirl movie and now a new report claims that Warner Bros. has put the project on the backburner.

Despite the fact he helmed two of the best superhero movies of all-time in The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, Joss Whedon's decision to walk away from Batgirl was news welcomed by fans. That could be because of his work on Justice League or people wanting a female filmmaker at the helm of a DC Comics adaptation such as this one but you have to believe that's it's probably a bit of both.

Regardless, a new report now reveals that Batgirl is no longer a priority for Warner Bros. and there are currently no imminent plans for a new director to start working on the female-led superhero movie. 

The site adds that the plan was always for the studio to develop moving focusing on the core members of the Justice League before launching spinoffs revolving around lesser known heroes and villains. Plus, even if Whedon had managed to find the right story, it's said that Batgirl wouldn't have shot before The Batman, a movie which currently has no release date as Matt Reeves continues working on it.

Are you disappointed about Barbara Gordon being put on the shelf for now? Sound off down below.

I think the DCCU should cool down on most of the ideas they have at this point...

Even a blind person could see that coming 🤦🏽‍♂️

This latest reshuffle of players within WB hasn’t really done anything of value has it? Aquaman was well into production. WW was getting a sequel and Shazam already had the green light. Everything else must’ve been written on Post-it notes.

It would be so nice for there to be a voice within WB that speaks for DC movies.

Please excuse the rant...
