Was the Batgirl movie actually that bad, or was it a victim of corporate cleanup? 🚨 In this clip from our livestream “Is the DCU DOA? The Hard Truth One Year In,” we break down J.K. Simmons’ recent revealing comments on the Happy Sad Confused podcast regarding the shelved DC project.

Simmons, who was set to reprise his role as Commissioner Gordon, confirmed that Batgirl’s test scores weren’t terrible, blowing up the narrative that the movie was “unreleasable” due to its quality. Instead, he made it clear: the cancellation was strictly a business decision.

But does the rabbit hole go deeper? We discuss the massive implications of Michael Keaton’s Batman being tied to the project, the timeline reset of The Flash, and whether James Gunn had a hand in burying the movie to avoid dealing with multiple Caped Crusaders in his new DCU. Could a hidden contract clause have forced WB to make more movies with Keaton if Batgirl succeeded?

Let us know what you think in the comments—should Warner Bros. release the Batgirl cut, or was shelving it the right move for the new DCU?
