American filmmaker Kevin Smith, during the latest episode of his 'Hollywood Babble-On' show, spoke out against Warner Bros.' decision of axing 'Batgirl' while going ahead with 'The Flash' movie. According to Variety, Smith called it "an incredibly bad look" for the studio to drop the rare comic book tentpole to be headlined by a Latina actor, especially when they are still moving forward with the Ezra Miller-led tentpole 'The Flash'.

"It's an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina 'Batgirl' movie. I don't give a shit if the movie was absolute fucking dog shit - I guarantee you that it wasn't," Smith said. He added, "The two directors [Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi] who directed that movie did a couple of episodes of 'Ms. Marvel,' and it was a wonderful fucking show and they had more money to do 'Batgirl' than they had to do an episode of 'Ms. Marvel' and stuff."
