One year after Leslie Grace was announced as Batgirl , the film has been scrapped by Warner Bros., multiple outlets report.

The decision was reportedly due to a desire to shift the studio&#8217;s focus back to blockbuster films, rather than streaming releases. It&#8217;s unclear whether Warner Bros. will ever release the shelved movie. Batgirl was originally announced in March 2017 with Joss Whedon set to direct, write and produce the movie. One year later, though, the Avengers director pulled out of the project, saying that he &#8220;really didn&#8217;t have a story&#8221; for the script. &#8220;The story kind of just crumbled in my hands,&#8221; the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator told Variety in April 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s another dark night for Gotham City.
