Adding to a long list of cinematic DC comics Ls, Batgirl never got a chance to make her big-screen debut. The movie would have been next on the DC lineup after The Flash, had it not been canceled last year ahead of the big reboot of the universe.
In an interview with Insider, the movie's directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah expressed sadness while watching The Flash. The Batgirl directors felt that they could have been part of the DC Universe but never got the opportunity to showcase their movie to audiences.
"We watched it, and we were sad," Adil said. "We love director Andy Muschietti and his sister Barbara, who produced the movie. But, when we watched it, we felt we could have been part of the whole thing. We didn't get the chance to show Batgirl to the world and let the audience judge for themselves."
Because the audience really is our ultimate boss and should be the deciders of if something is good or bad, or if something should be seen or not." He adds, "Our movie was very different than The Flash. That has a big fantasy component, ours was more grounded. More like Tim Burton's Gotham City."
