More than four years after Warner Bros. cancels the completed “Batgirl” film, J.K. Simmons says he still hopes audiences will eventually see the movie. The actor, who plays Commissioner James Gordon in “Batgirl,” comments on Warner Bros. and DC Films’ choice to remove the title from the HBO Max release schedule, which occurred amid the company’s merger and other internal changes. Simmons characterizes the decision as “bizarre” and indicates uncertainty about why the finished project was not released, suggesting that people may “never know” the reasoning. He also reiterates his desire for the DCEU entry to be made available to the public. The film is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, and Simmons’s remarks reflect continued interest in the fate of the project four years after it was shelved. Sources agree that Simmons is speaking retrospectively about the cancellation and remains supportive of releasing the completed film.
