Is Peacemaker Season 2 Safe After Batgirl Decision? James Gunn Responds
James Gunn updates fans on the status of Peacemaker season 2 after the surprise cancellation of Batgirl. The movie industry was rocked on Tuesday when Warner Bros. Discovery shockingly announced the decision to shelve the nearly-finished $90 million superhero movie Batgirl. The film starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon had been set for an HBO Max release later in 2022.
It is of course not unprecedented for a movie like Batgirl to do poorly with test audiences and undergo massive reworking before release. It is however almost unheard of for a major studio to completely shelve a finished film, especially a franchise film, in response to bad test screenings. But test responses to Batgirl were reportedly unusually negative, with audiences calling the film “disappointing” and “cheap-looking.” For their part, Warner Bros. Discovery says the movie’s cancellation was part of a «strategic shift» that reportedly includes a cost-cutting push and a refocus on big theatrical features.
