Along with the Batgirl, Warner bros. has also shelved Scoob! : Holiday Haunt, a followup to the 2020 film Scoob!. The official statement for shelving the major projects from the senior members of the production house is still awaited. As per Variety, studio insiders insist the decision to shelve Batgirl was not driven by the quality of the film or the commitment of the filmmakers, but by the desire for the studio's slate of DC features to be at a blockbuster scale. Batgirl was budgeted to screen in homes on HBO Max, and not for a major global release in theatres.

Along with Grace, the Batgirl also starred J.K Simmons, Jim Gordon, Brendan Fraser and, Michael Keaton in prominent roles. The decision still comes as a shock, as studios almost never shelve productions outright, preferring to get at least some return on their investment. It also comes as Warner Bros. is still contending with what to do about The Flash, a DC adaptation created and budgeted specifically for theatrical release in 2023. The film has been utterly hamstrung by repeated allegations of abuse and misconduct by its star, Ezra Miller, Variety reported.
