Somebody’s Lying: The Batgirl Controversy

As most people who care about such things are probably aware, when Warner Bros was rechristened Warner Bros Discovery, the new owners made cutting costs a priority. One way doing so is cancelling various projects, such as Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s Batgirl, which saved the studio $90 million. Though recently James Gunn, the […]
