Batgirl star Michael Keaton wasn’t too fussed about themovie being scrapped by Warner Bros. before it had a chance to release, despite being finished.
Keaton would’ve reprised his iconic Batman role in the movie, starring opposite Leslie Grace as Batgirl. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah directed.
“No, I didn’t care one way or another. Big, fun, nice check,” Keaton toldGQ. But, he did sympathize with the directors.
“I like those boys. They’re nice guys,” he added. “I pull for them. I want them to succeed, and I think they felt very badly, and that made me feel bad. Me?” he continued, “I’m good.”
Keaton also reprised his Bruce Wayne role in The Flash, which, despite being much-hyped in the lead up to its release, ultimately disappointed at the box office. Since then, the DCEU has been rebooted into the DCU, beginning withChapter One: Gods and Monsters. The new universe is being overseen by DC Studios co-CEOsJames Gunnand Peter Safran.
