I'm sure by now you've all heard of HBO MAX pulling some shows from their service and also Warner Bros Discovery scrapping finished, or almost finished movies. One of these movies was Batgirl.
The movie was nearly done shooting scenes when it was canceled, and now, the director says he doesn't have any of the files, as he tried to log into the servers with the footage when it got canceled, but found that everything was gone, even scenes that had Batman in them. (https://thedirect.com/article/batgirl-movie-cancelled-salvage-smartphone)
With the directors not having access to the footage, it seems that the only way the movie will ever see the light of day is if Warners Bros Discovery releases it themselves. The directors said that they would love if a campaign was made to release the movie because they really hope it can be seen one day. For now, this looks like lost media that might never be released.
We already have a thread for HBO Max. Zaslav pissed off a lot of shareholders so he won't be with WBD much longer and whoever replaces him will want to restore goodwill and they will most likely do that by releasing this film and Scoob Holiday Haunt.
Shooting was actually done and the film was in post-production when it was cancelled.

My bad, I thought the HBO MAX thread was about shows and movies that had been removed from HBO MAX, not movies that were never released in the first place. If I recall correctly as well, I believe they were discussing a theatrical release at some point, so I also wasn't sure it this was truly an HBO MAX topic. The directors said there were a few scenes they still had to shoot, likely as re-shoots they relized they needed while editing the flim.

There is still hope as the final deadline for the tax write-off has not yet happened and won't happen until the end of the fiscal year(whenever that is)so if there is enough public pressure they could decide to finish the film(like with what happened with Deadpool which was going to be cancelled until test footage leaked).
Yeah i had a feeling that was the case, if WBD wants to write the film off for topics purposes they have to keep the footage around to show that it actually exists.

So has anyone heard this new BS that this Zaslav guy is pulling? Apparently he's having EVERY COPY burned. Jesus Lord! I pray someone managed to save some negatives or at least a recording of the original, because this is insane. For those not following the Zaslav trauma, this guy is literally the most childish, insane man I have every heard of that wasn't named "Bundy".
He's literally erasing every trace of at least one, possibly more, CN cartoons from the internet, he's trying to either hide or destroy (or both considering this nonsense!) over TWO HUNDRED episodes of Sesame Street and he's completely re-editing and possibly destroying Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2...mind you this is while Ezra Miller, a sociopath, is his favorite son and he's putting hundreds of millions of dollars into HIS movie.
This is literally the most insane thing I have ever heard of. I've seen people saying "oh yeah he took the Leftists down a peg!" and believe me, without starting a political argument, I have no problem with that, and I've seen people laughing their asses off because the movie was "so bad it had to be destrooooyed!" or whatever...but this is utterly insane. This isn't cutting costs or shifting focus this is how Prince Joffrey would act. This is how a spoiled child acts when he doesn't get candy, he throws a tantrum.
I hope someone saved the negatives or at least a copy, and the same for those tv shows he erased, because this is utter madness. Huge chunks of television and movie history may be destroyed because ONE person is having a fit and drunk with power. Wow.

I read that Warner Bros Discovery only has enough money to release two movies in theaters for the rest of the year: Black Adam and Don't Worry Darling. I'm not sure if that's true, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised.
(and just a note, Erza Miller uses they pronouns. They really should be in prison, and I truly hope they aren't The Flash for much longer. I don't know why Zaslav seems to be ignoring their behavior)

Anyone who celebrates "leftists being taken down a peg" is a complete fucking moron and it's pretty safe to say that anyone that's a fan of Zaslav is a piece of shit.

Whatever political opinions we have, and I frankly don't care whose seems out of line, I hope everyone agrees how insane this Zaslav guy is. I wasn't exactly a huge fan of him already, the term spending dollars to count pennies comes to mind, but at a certain point it becomes asinine. This isn't cost cutting like removing a shitty film from a release date he's literally scrubbing archives. For NO reason.
It's like he's a method actor trying to recreate Prince Joffrey for broadway.

Batgirl wasn't a shitty movie at all though, it got the same test scores that Black Adam did, Zaslav being a Drumpf supporter lends credence to the theory that he's deliberately targeting shows and films with minorities and LGBTQ characters in them.
Warner Bros Discovery is truly out here, making life for lost media enthusiasts 10x harder l can already tell that in a few years or maybe in a decade people in the lost media scene are still gonna talk about Bat Girl as this still lost movie holy grail similar to others expect rather than it coming from the era where film preservation was pretty much non-existence it instead came from the era where getting a movie lost in this scale would consider a joke in film preservation

Somehow I don't think we'll have to wait ten years to see that movie as i've got a feeling Zaslav won't be CEO for too much longer as he's violated actual laws with removing all those shows and with WBD's stock tanking I don't see the shareholders wanting him around much longer, he'll be gone soon enough and when they replace him with someone with actual experience that knows WTF they are doing they'll no doubt want to restore goodwill by bringing back cancelled projects to reassure filmmakers that this won't be the same WBD.

Possibly but you never know those companies can be pretty secretive with projects even after their finshed
