#Batgirl was a casualty of new corporate strategy from David Zaslav, who opted to shelve the project in order to take a tax write down on the $90 million film, multiple sources tell THR thr.cm/IqQzuPM

According to multiple sources, Warners considered pumping more money into #Batgirl to beef it up into a theatrical release. Another source downplays that the notion was seriously in contention thr.cm/IqQzuPM

When a very early version of #Batgirl test screened it landed a score in the low 60s and is believed to have only tested once. The test score is comparable to tests for 2017's 'It' as well as an early test for the upcoming #Shazam: Fury of the Gods thr.cm/IqQzuPM

The death of #Batgirl also hints at a smaller role for Michael Keaton's #Batman. According to sources, Keaton had filmed a scene for the upcoming #Aquaman2 that confused test audiences. It looks as if Ben Affleck will appear in that film instead thr.cm/IqQzuPM

Rumors are swirling that Warners is considering moving the release dates for two #Shazam: Fury of the Gods and #Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom thr.cm/IqQzuPM
