As a seasoned film enthusiast and avid comic book reader, I find myself in a peculiar position as I reflect on the recent developments within the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Having witnessed the evolution of superhero movies for decades, I can attest that nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems.
The realm of superheroes remains a dominant force in modern entertainment, encompassing both television and cinema. A variety of interconnected universes are currently active, with the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) wrapping up after the release of Aquaman 2. Fans continue to analyze this series, available for streaming with a Max subscription, even discussing the canceled Batgirl movie that would have starred Michael Keaton as Batman. Despite the film’s cancellation, Keaton expresses indifference, sharing his reasons for not being overly concerned about the project’s fate. Now let’s delve into the details.
As an ardent fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement when news broke that Michael Keaton would be reprising his iconic Batman role in both The Flash and Batgirl. Sadly, Warner Bros. scrapped the projects following filming, securing a substantial tax break instead. For months now, fellow fans and I have been expressing our discontent over this decision. Recently, Keaton shared his thoughts on the matter with Variety, shedding some light on his perspective.
No, I didn’t care one way or another. Big, fun, nice check.
Points were made. Because while fans are still be stewing over the fact that they might never see the contents of the Batgirl movie, Keaton got paid regardless. And as such, he’s not quite as sore about the studio’s decision to drop the superhero flick after it was already filmed.
In contrast to the feelings shared by directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi who worked on the Batgirl movie, Keaton’s statements were quite different. They mentioned feeling sad upon watching The Flash, as their DC movie with Keaton might not be released. However, in a subsequent part of the interview, Keaton expressed his affection for these filmmakers, stating:
I’m fond of those lads; they’re genuinely kind individuals. I root for their success. I hope they fare well, and it seems like their misfortune upset them deeply, which in turn affected me negatively. As for me, I’m doing just fine.
It wouldn’t be accurate to label the man as dishonest. Michael Keaton, with years in the movie industry, has likely faced numerous setbacks throughout his career. His departure from the Batgirl project appears to be contingent on the project receiving financial approval, suggesting he maintains a professional and business-oriented approach.
Besides playing Batman in two recent DC films, Keaton often returns to his famous roles for new ventures. For instance, he will reprise his character in the upcoming “Beetlejuice 2”. Thankfully, this sequel is set to be released in theaters and won’t face the same cancellation as “Batgirl”.
The likelihood of the “Batgirl” movie hitting the screens decreased significantly following the conclusion of the DCEU. Instead, James Gunn and Peter Safran are creating a fresh shared universe known as “Gods and Monsters.” In this new universe, it appears that we’ll be introduced to a new Bat-family, making the release of “Batgirl” less necessary.
The DC Universe kicks off on July 11th, 2025, starring Superman. Until then, take a look at the upcoming movie releases in 2025.
