00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.950
- What's up guys? This is Kevin from io9.

2
00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:03.667
If you have not heard the news,

3
00:00:03.667 --> 00:00:06.150
"Batgirl" is officially dead-on-arrival.

4
00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:08.100
The film will never see the light of day,

5
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:10.050
and I'm gonna run around
New York Comic Con,

6
00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:11.850
and ask people what they think about that

7
00:00:11.850 --> 00:00:14.340
absolutely monumental decision to scrap

8
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:16.017
an already-completed movie.

9
00:00:16.017 --> 00:00:18.767
(relaxing music)

10
00:00:21.736 --> 00:00:24.450
Are you guys familiar
with the "Batgirl" movie

11
00:00:24.450 --> 00:00:26.368
that was scheduled to come out?

12
00:00:26.368 --> 00:00:28.410
- Yeah, I've seen some of
the behind-the-scenes stuff

13
00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:29.640
they kind of like put out.

14
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.436
- My husband forced me
to watch stuff about it.

15
00:00:32.436 --> 00:00:34.080
So yes, I'm familiar.

16
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:34.980
- So you're familiar with the fact

17
00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:36.870
that the movie's been completely made,

18
00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:39.960
It was set to come out, and
it's just been totally scrapped.

19
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.730
How do we feel about that?

20
00:00:41.730 --> 00:00:43.050
- I feel really bad for all the people

21
00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:45.617
that put in, like, the
time and effort on it.

22
00:00:45.617 --> 00:00:47.790
Even if it was a crappy
movie, there was still, like,

23
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:49.650
you know, all the set
people, and camera people,

24
00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:51.390
whatever, that were there
that worked really hard on it.

25
00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:53.190
- For sure. I agree.

26
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:54.900
- The work continues on women.

27
00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.300
- Have you heard the news about
The "Batgirl" movie that has

28
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.565
unfortunately been canceled
despite it being already made?

29
00:01:00.565 --> 00:01:03.570
- Yes, I have heard about
that movie canceled, though,

30
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.870
and it's kinda, I mean,
it's kind of a waste of time

31
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:08.730
with the actors and like
the production team as well

32
00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:10.926
but like, I mean, hey they
are getting paid, you know?

33
00:01:10.926 --> 00:01:11.759
So it's like-

34
00:01:11.759 --> 00:01:12.940
- Do you wanna see the movie?

35
00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:16.110
- I mean, if it leaks online
then I'll watch it, though,

36
00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:19.110
but in the meantime it's
like, I don't really care.

37
00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:20.460
- I think they should rethink it.

38
00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:22.890
I think having more, like,
women's superhero movies

39
00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.513
is something we need, yeah.

40
00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:27.983
- I hate it.

41
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:30.540
- Would you like to see
the "Batgirl" movie?

42
00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:31.920
I would absolutely love to see that movie.

43
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:32.910
So please release it.

44
00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:35.160
- Yes. HBO Max, please
release the "Batgirl".

45
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:36.450
Release the "Batgirl" cut.

46
00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:39.300
How do we feel about
"Batgirl" never seeing

47
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:40.533
the light of day?

48
00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:45.300
- I mean, it's an idiotic move
and it doesn't make any sense

49
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:47.160
since they already had most
of the footage already,

50
00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:51.450
but, you know, I'm not an
exec at some major studio,

51
00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:52.800
so what do I know?

52
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:57.720
- I've spilled a lot of digital
ink about this, over on io9.

53
00:01:57.720 --> 00:01:59.670
But, ultimately, I think
this is what happens

54
00:01:59.670 --> 00:02:02.790
when we let corporations get
away with controlling art.

55
00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:03.623
- Have you heard of this?

56
00:02:03.623 --> 00:02:05.250
- Only thing I heard, it was scrapped.

57
00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:07.140
I didn't even know they
were coming out with one,

58
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:11.880
they just said on online
that its scrapped, you know,

59
00:02:11.880 --> 00:02:13.530
like it didn't even get started.

60
00:02:13.530 --> 00:02:15.180
They just scraped it, you know?

61
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.120
- So how do you feel that
this movie is completely done

62
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.370
and no one will ever see it?

63
00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:23.580
- Well, we can't necessarily
say that, you know,

64
00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:26.810
they might bring it back
up and push it on out.

65
00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:29.560
