The conclusion to chop down Batgirl, which was planned to be released on HBO Max later came after a series of test screenings that were filtered by audiences, and studio experts thought it would damage the outlook of the brand as they explore streamlining the DC Universe. Leslie Grace stood out to support after the termination and dropped behind-the-scenes photos along with the video clip from the film’s production.
