Overview
- Jacob Scipio said he viewed a near-finished cut of Batgirl and described the film as “phenomenal” in a new interview with The Direct.
- He suggested fan demand could still matter, pointing to Coyote vs. Acme’s rescue and newly scheduled August 26, 2026 release after Ketchup Entertainment acquired it.
- Batgirl remains shelved since Warner Bros. Discovery canceled the mostly completed project in 2022, citing strategy and cost concerns tied to big-screen priorities.
- DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran previously called the film “not releasable,” and reports note potential tax write-off complications and DCU continuity changes as barriers to any release.
- The film starred Leslie Grace, with Michael Keaton, J.K. Simmons, Brendan Fraser, Ivory Aquino, and Scipio, and crew accounts have said post-production was largely complete, including VFX.
