Fans were certainly excited when they heardBrendan Fraserget a well-deserved role of the DC supervillain Firefly in the now-canceledBatgirl. However, ever since the plot of the movie was leaked last year, fans are happy that the movie was canceled. The reason being the movie would have been mediocre at best, and the storyline didn’t seem to weave a cohesive and captivating narrative.
Here is how fans reacted to the cancelation:
Thank God it didn’t releasedThe suit looks extremely awful the final one in the ending , and even the actor himself doesn’t even look any close to barbara Gordon from comics.

This sounds good on paper but just like BoP, TSS, BA, S2 & The Flash this would’ve been another flop. I think DC Fans and GA alike stopped caring about this uni. For years now

This really seems like a mess of a film it has some good parts but most of it is just bad also who even thought making Batman older than Gordan is a good idea that too without an explanation and wasting Brendan Fraser like thatThis could have been DC’s Morbius we dodged a bullet

While Brendan Fraser would have been excellent as Firefly, the film’s shortcomings would have only hindered his career trajectory which is only beginning to take flight again.

Why DC’sBatgirlWas Canceled
DC for the longest time has been trying to have an ‘organized’ and ‘connected’ universe similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While lately, they look to have been failing to do so, the move to cancelBatgirlwas a result of this ‘organizing attempt’. They explained the cancelation was also a result of their leadership’s strategic shift.
Furthermore, many sources have claimed that the studio felt the movie was not big enough, unworthy of having a big theatrical release in light of the effect of the pandemic on the box office, and was apparently not even small enough to earn a release on a streaming platform.
While fans have expressed that they would rather have the movie released on a streaming platform, many expressed thanks that DC chose to cancel it since it seems like Warner Bros has seemingly run out of the fuel to make ‘great’ superhero movies.
