Grain of salt: I’m hearing Batgirl was testing so horribly, that the only option was a complete reshoot. They weren’t willing to spend the money

And they won’t release it knowing it would really harm the DC universe.

Responses:

I was wondering about whether they claimed UK Tax Credit on this - it's provided on the basis that it’s intended for theatrical release. - LMS Aug 3, 07:49 2
- Scoob 2 and it both died for tax purposes. -- nm - David Aug 3, 07:51 1
  - I mean probably both? I don’t think they care about harming DC’s reputation, they just don’t want to spend tens of millions to make New Mutants money. -- nm - mafic Aug 3, 08:13
This is the coverup lie. -- nm - David Aug 3, 07:42
"it would really harm the DC universe." - Spawn Aug 3, 07:40 3
- Unlike Justice League! -- nm - David Aug 3, 07:42 1
  - They should let Zack Snyder cut the Batgirl movie and do some re-shoots and he will fix it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 07:46
- Haha. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 07:42
how bad must it of been, with after Spidr-Man's BO from having 2 old Spideys, that Keaton couldn't carry it to getting a release. - Beaker Aug 3, 07:13 14
- Burying a movie starring Michael Keaton, though? You’d think there’d be consequences. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 07:42
- Michael Keaton’s name isn’t guaranteeing success for any movie. - MDH Aug 3, 07:18 12
  - It was never supposed to be release in theaters, I think. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 3, 07:33
  - as the original Batman? I think you are sorely mistaken. -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:19 10
    - After Spider-Man, American Assasin, Dumbo, and the Protege all flopped. Look at his filmography. I like the guy but he’s not a name at all. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 07:37 7
      - MDH, four out of four STers can't be wrong. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:37
      - Michael Keaton isn’t. Michael Keaton as Batman is the defining Batman for a generation of people. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 08:18
      - He *is* Batman for a *lot* of people. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:08 2
        
        Yup. It's him and Adam West for me. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 3, 08:49 1
        
        Add Kevin Conroy for his animated voice, and we have the trifecta of formats. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:53
      - you're correct. But it's Iconic character that he brought to mainstream movies. They'll do something with him -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 07:42
      - not his name, but the character he played -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:38
    - (but, to be fair, I have been wrong once or twice before :) ) -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:23
    - and after No Way Home if your PR Department can't sell it, then you need to hire a new PR Department -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:20
