A new Batgirl movie photo shows Michael Keaton's Batman with Leslie Grace's Barbara Gordon on set. Warner Bros. and DC Films spent the last few years developing a solo movie for Batgirl that would be directed by Bad Boys for Life's Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. The film brought In the Heights star Grace aboard to play the DC hero, while it was also revealed Michael Keaton's Batman would return thanks to The Flash's multiverse story in the DCEU. Despite the excitement for the project, Warner Bros. Discovery made the shocking decision this week to cancel Batgirl and not release the movie either on HBO Max or in theaters.
There has been a lot of fallout as a result of Batgirl's cancellation, which came due to Warner Bros. Discovery's strategic shift to only make DC movies for release in theaters. One of the expected outcomes has been those involved with the movie, such as its cast and crew, opening up about the news and their time on the project. The directing duo known as Adil & Bilall issued a formal response to the Batgirl movie's sudden cancellation the day after news broke, while star Leslie Grace waited a little longer to address it, expressing her gratitude and love for her fellow Batgirl team.

The director shared an image on his Instagram story of himself on set and standing between Grace and (presumably) Keaton in their Batgirl and Batman costumes. The context of the scene is not known, but it does provide a tease of how Batgirl was meant to bring Barbara Gordon and Bruce Wayne together.
