'Batgirl's directors were locked out of the servers shortly after news of its cancellation broke.
Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah revealed that they were blocked from the project’s servers right before they learned about the cancellation, an action that prevented them from keeping footage from the film. In an interview for SKRIPT, the directors also reiterated how the movie’s quality was not considered for the project's shelving.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "Adil [El Arbi] called me and told me, ‘Go ahead! Shoot everything on your phone!' I went on the server... And everything was blocked. There was no way to access the film. We were: 'Fucking shit! All the scenes with Batman we didn’t get to keep!"Batgirl was supposed to star Michael Keaton as the Batman, a role he hadn’t played for three decades since Tim Burton's 1989 Batman and 1992 Batman Returns.
“It was not a talent problem on our part, the actress, or even the quality of the movie. We were right in the middle of editing, there was still a lot of work to be done! It was not like the movie was finished. But they told us it was a strategic change. New management. And they could save some cash.”
