Noget overraskende endte Warner Bros. med helt at droppe Batgirl, på trods af at filmen var indspillet, klippet og næsten færdigredigeret.
Nu udtaler Brendan Fraser, der spillede filmens skurk, Firefly, sig om filmens aflysning i et interview med Variety. Her kalder han blandt andet beslutningen om at droppe filmen for "tragisk" og roser hovedrolleindehaver Leslie Grace:
"It's tragic. It doesn't engender trust among filmmakers and the studio. Leslie Grace was fantastic. She's a dynamo, just a spot-on performer."
Batgirl havde et lidt lavere budget end de gængse superheltefilm ($90 millioner) og skulle efter planen havde fået premiere direkte på HBO Max for at lokke kunder til streamingtjenesten. Brendan Fraser fortæller dog, at filmen stadig havde en stor produktionsværdi:
"Everything that we shot was real and exciting and just the antithesis of doing a straightforward digital all green screen thing. They ran firetrucks around downtown Glasgow at 3 in the morning and they had flamethrowers. It was a big-budget movie, but one that was just stripped down to the essentials."
