Last year, Warner Bros. merged with Discovery to create Warner Bros. Discovery. Following this merger, the company's new CEO David Zaslav made a couple of big calls. One of these was to cancel Batgirl - a $90 million film that had almost wrapped up production.
Now, about a year later, promotional material for the canceled film has surfaced online. A few days ago, a Twitter user with the handle @Croc_Block posted an image of himself beside a Blue Beetle cardboard standee in a comic store.
The standee appears quite ordinary but, upon closer inspection, reveals logos for other DC Studios projects, including the aforementioned canceled project.
We find it difficult to believe that the Batgirl logo made it onto the Blue Beetle promotional material by mistake. Surely, Blue Beetle promotional designs would have passed through several executives' tables and, if there was a mistake, someone would have caught it and asked for corrections.
Still, we can't ignore the fact that all of the films that made it to the standee were released last year bar Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, slated for release later this year, and Batgirl, which was scrapped.
