Batgirl is in the poison cabinet, hardly anyone is allowed to see the DC movie. Star Leslie Grace nevertheless now shared scenes from the making of the banned blockbuster.
When Warner recently shipped the already completed Batgirl to the toxic closet for tax reasons, millions of DC fans were outraged. And certainly so was leading lady Leslie Grace. Now she’s shared footage from the making of the film that no one else is allowed to see.
Batgirl video shows Leslie Grace in DC action scenes
Grace shared the video on TikTok. And defiantly captioned the footage with the song Evergreen, which reads, “You didn’t deserve me at all. “
There is footage from the Batgirl movie shoot that shows Grace training, doing action choreography and even shooting in front of the camera. Actually, only a few have been allowed to see the DC film so far. Whether the actress is putting herself in legal danger with the TikTok post is not clear.
Her anger and frustration, on the other hand, are completely understandable. Until stars are cast for a superhero:in role, they go through a challenging and long selection process and then have to give their all on set. Seeing such a dream development implode for tax reasons must have driven Grace to white heat.
Imagine constructing an entire village underground in a tunnel yet the narrative out there wants you to believe the film was “CW cheap”.
Hats off to Christopher Glass & the set design team for their tireless efforts to make this happen ReleaseBatgirl pic.twitter.com/lw0x6zX5k2

The Batgirl disaster is the end of the Golden Streaming Age
We’ll probably never see the $90 million Batgirl movie starring Leslie Grace, Michael Keaton and Brendan Fraser. That’s a shame for all DC fans. But there is a much bigger development behind it.
Batgirl could have been a triumph for the streaming service HBO Max. Now, however, the film is coming to the end of a development that has been years in the making: the golden age of streaming that we have experienced over the past decade is over. In the podcast we talk about the effects and consequences.
