dropped

Hold up, I'm liking how this sounds.
>test screening
>for an HBOMax streaming series
It's a movie, and it will probably end up becoming a theatrical release like Blue Beetle.
>mixed reviews
they'll just put it on HBOMax unless it gets a super hyped up audience reaction.
Who really wants a Black Canary movie?
After how shit she was in BoP and Lovecraft Country I really don’t understand why the studio keeps insisting on pushing Smollett
>Test-audiences were very confused about Keaton playing Batman instead of Ben Affleck as they were unaware THE FLASH reboots the DCEU.
Knew it.
Flash tries to reboot by having some weird Composite Earth as its main setting
>The Batman and Robin mural from the set pics no longer appears
Wait what? Can somebody show me a pic of this?
That actually looks pretty cool. It's nice that they removed it since this movie is going to be complete garbage outside of /ourguy/ brendan fraser
Sounds okay.
Where is Nightwing?
Probably in Bloodhaven or in one of his many retirements.
Why did they make Batgirl a fugly frog faced girl? What's DC's obsession with making white characters nonwhite?
Wait, actress in the OP's pic isn't white? Guess it's the lighting. At least she's got the red hair.
She is barely black. this is just fake outrage
She sure as shit doens't look like a "Gordon"
Because black/mixed people can't have typical American last names?
>Defending making Batgirl ugly
Frick off
>Leslie grace
>ugly
Yes
I love it when anons who probably look like trolls say shit like this about supermodel tier actresses
idk man she looks like Rosario Dawson in that pic.
I have no idea why people were upset by this. Different strokes, I guess. She's ugly to me too.
She might be really light skinned but her features are black as shit. And you can blame biology for making me racist, she isn't attractive at all to me.
The point stands. Batgirl has always been white. Now she isn't. Frick everyone involved with that decision, I'm not even pirating this shit.
>Why did they make Batgirl a fugly frog faced girl?
Because they want to make us move to South America where we're ironically more accepted than up here
What
Nothing to be terrified about, Clem. Stay in your bubble, safe from change.
>keaton
still a stupid idea, should have used flash to reboot with someone younger than affleck, not someone who's 70
>Batgirl movie
>Batprostitute instead of Cassandra
Dropped
I don't care about the race of the character, but wouldn't it be better to have casted cassandra instead of having ''changed'' another character's race? Cassandra was one of the only members of the batfamily to have a series that lasted over 5 years. She has a lore unlike the woman who was better known to have been a rape victim.
And cassandra is Asian
>Cassandra was one of the only members of the batfamily to have a series that lasted over 5 years
Babs' Batgirl lasted for 10 years, as did Red Hood. And Nightwing keeps going non-stop for about 30 years.
Cassgays, seriously.
30 years being cancelled. cassandra only had one series and it was longer than those characters.
>Babs' Batgirl lasted for 10 years
Oh yeah, real rich lore to pull from there. Can’t wait for Alysia’s spinoff.
Bruce Timm’s influence pretty much fricked up any chance of Cass being used in outside media. shame because she is the better character with a more unique run and cast, unlike Barbara who is relegated to fighting Batman’s c list villains.
Cassandra's gimp suit would be more popular than this outfit that barbara wears, harley quinn cosplay was huge at the time.
You homosexual ass mouthbreathers b***hed and moaned about how bad BoP was (it wasn't) that Cassandra Cain will never be in the DCEU or in anything live action ever again
I don't like the batfamily. but I think there would be no racial problem if it were cassandra instead of barbara, despite having some conservative still complaining that cassandra is asian
>You homosexual ass mouthbreathers b***hed and moaned about how bad BoP was (it wasn't)
>(it wasn't)
Opinion fricking discarded.
Also the assertion that people should support a lackluster adaptation just for the sake of their favorite character, solely for the faint hope said character might be adapted again down the line is completely absurd. This is absolutely the mindset killing superhero adaptations.
>Cassandra Cain will never be in the DCEU or in anything live action ever again
Probably not true if those black canary runors are anything to go by
Birds of Prey was awful and so was it's interpretation of the characters.
Babs will always be better known than Cass, the idea of making the first Batgirl movie a Cass one is ridiculous.
Yeah, imagine making a movie about a mute asian girl engaged in acts of extreme violence. Who wants to see that?
So will they?
they've replaced him with firefly
Are they seriously going to make Birds of Prey again without Oracle?, how stupid.
Looking good, so how does it's got a mixed reviews ?
Well Babs could be paralyzed anytime before the real Birds of Prey started
Fraser steals the movie
Well he's Brendan Fraser. I'd be more surprised if he didn't steal the movie.
Why is she black?
current year
Big Brain answer: She's Barbara from the Reeves Universe (The Batman)
Wrong.
Reevesverse Jim Gordon is black
She’s Hispanic
afro hispanic
>Dominican
Black with extra steps.
>Brendan Fraser steals the movie as Firefly and is equally sympathetic and menacing.
>Brendan Fraser as Firefly
I did not know this, I must see this movie
DC Is just race swapping at this point to win woke points on Twitter. Race aside Leslie Grace is fugly. Her eyes are way too far apart and he had that mulatto skin tone that looks creepy. May as well of casted Michael Jackson for Batgirl. Why does DC literally make every character with red hair into a black person? Also she's 27-28 years old, why cast a woman who's already hit the wall?
Coomers are mentally ill
Have you taken your hrt and schizo medicine today?
You must be on meds if you think she doesn't look like a moronic fish frog
She looks like the last catwoman, anne hathaway, but she's israeli and maybe not white by your standards.
>Cheap ill-fitting pleather
Why not latex??
So this negates the possibility of a Batman Beyond, since it's aping from it.
>Brendan Fraser steals the movie as Firefly and is equally sympathetic and menacing.
Well yeah I mean just look at him
>Keaton Batman
>no-kill rule
I theorize that this movie's Earth is made from the recycled remnants of destroyed past Earths
no Robin is a bummer (why is WB is so allergic to live-action Batfamily?) but I'm in for my girl Leslie
That mask really isn’t flattering, she’s got a Yakub head
The only part of this that sounds good is Brendan Fraiser
Fraser steals the movie as Firefly and is equally sympathetic and menacing.
The only thing I car about- Is Batgirl horny for him?
