Batgirl got tax written off so Black Adam could be a huge box office bomb. Ultimately I think that is the truth of the matter. Black Adam's test screenings didn't go particularly well, the online hype just wasn't there, the long-term tracking suggested it would struggle, and ticket preorders were more or less nonexistent. WBD had to have seen the writing on the wall, and cancelling Batgirl and getting a $40 million refund to offset the expected deficit from Black Adam was the easiest option available.

Doesn’t make it any less wrong that many talented people got screwed over by greed.

Honestly, I'd rather they'd shitcanned Black Adam and released Batgirl. Even if it wasn't necessarily good, it would have at least been more interesting than the JSA jobbing to The Rock over and over.

None of this would have happened with an Owl Woman movie.

Some new photos have surfaced. After Black Adam, Shazam 2 and The Flash, this couldn't possibly have been that bad.

Cancelled in August of 2022, because they wanted big event movies. Since then WB's released 3 superhero movies in Black Adam, Shazam 2, and The Flash, and all 3 have tanked horribly.
Release Batgirl!

I have zero doubt that at some point in the future it will be released. And then people will watch it and it'll be mediocre at best.

With it being a tax write off the only way to release it and not have to pay back the money they got is leaking it out like the 90s Corman FF movie.
No doubt in 10 years a decent screener DVD of it will leak out and within a we will all get a chance to see it.
