Change of strategy at Warner Bros. The American studio has made the decision not to release its blockbuster in theaters or on streaming platforms Bat girl, but almost complete. A unique case in the history of blockbusters.
According to the American media, including those well informed varietythe project, which was carried out by the duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (bad boys 3, Ms. Marvel), had been validated in 2021 and was going to be broadcast at the end of this year on the HBO Max platform.
The film had been made specifically for broadcast, hoping to attract subscribers on HBO Mac. It was the spearhead of a strategy aimed at bringing the DC Universe to television (several series spin-offs from the batman are planned).
Scooby-Doo also a victim
This change in strategy is linked to the departure of former WarnerMedia CEO, Jason Kilar, and the arrival of his replacement, David Zaslav, who wants to focus the studio’s activity on movie theaters.
Another film -also almost finished- was a collateral victim of this new regime: the caricature Scoob!: Vacation Spota sequence of Scooby! (2020).
Highly anticipated by fans of DC Comics, Bat girl staged for the first time in a live action film the adventures of the famous superheroine. Comedian Leslie Grace was cast in the role and it stars JK Simmons (Gordon), Brendan Fraser (villain Firefly), and Michael Keaton (Batman).
