"We are saddened and shocked by the news," directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah wrote on Instagram.
The directors of Batgirl said Wednesday they were "shocked" that the $90 million dollar superhero film had been axed by the studio and will now not be released in any format.
Warner Bros. Discovery announced they were shelving the movie adaptation of the DC Comics character, which was to star Leslie Grace in the title role, alongside Michael Keaton as Batman, preventing it from being seen in either theaters or on streaming platform HBO Max.
"We are saddened and shocked by the news. We still can't believe it," directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah wrote on Instagram.
"As directors, it is critical that our work be shown to audiences, and while the film was far from finished, we wish that fans all over the world would have had the opportunity to see and embrace the final film themselves."
