James Gunn updates fans on the status of Peacemaker season 2 after the surprise cancellation of Batgirl. The movie industry was rocked on Tuesday when Warner Bros. Discovery shockingly announced the decision to shelve the nearly-finished $90 million superhero movie Batgirl. The film starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon had been set for an HBO Max release later in 2022.
It is of course not unprecedented for a movie like Batgirl to do poorly with test audiences and undergo massive reworking before release. It is however almost unheard of for a major studio to completely shelve a finished film, especially a franchise film, in response to bad test screenings. But test responses to Batgirl were reportedly unusually negative, with audiences calling the film “disappointing” and “cheap-looking.” For their part, Warner Bros.
The clear assumption to be drawn is that future one-off DC movie projects like Batgirl will now be targeted for theatrical release only, which presumably doesn’t affect a multi-episode show like Peacemaker. It remains to be seen of course how the budget of Peacemaker season 2 is affected by WBD’s cost-cutting measures. But even with a scaled-back budget, Gunn and company are still creative enough to deliver a solid season of streaming content with Peacemaker season 2.
