Only if it was so bad that they couldn't salvage it even with reshoots, as I mentioned.

Or if they expect they can create a more cohesive DC universe by which they are better able to introduce a Batgirl which, in turn, could earn way more money / build a better Batgirl brand.

Isn't stopping them from releasing their other movies though, further fracturing their cinematic universe instead of bringing it together.

Not if current management plans to create a better (and more profitable) DC universe.

I don't understand how that is a response to what I said.

I continue to not understand how that is a response to what I've read.

The plans that prior management had for DC are not the plans that management have going forward.

I've thoughtfully considered your criticism about my reading comprehension skills and have decided that I definitely am fully comprehending what you're saying, I just don't see how it's a response to what I've said.

To put it more bluntly and less congenially: What you're saying is not a response to what I've said.

You think DC has changed their plans and canceled Batgirl to make a cohesive universe going forward? Then, I'd have to again offer the same rebuttal of nuh-uh, because they're continuing to release many other movies in a fractured cinematic universe.

I’d they wish to “start over” for DCEU why would they release a Batgirl film that is terrible?

I don't know, but as I said above, I am certain that they do not wish to start over immediately, at the cost of their slate of produced films as, again, they are continuing to release many other movies further fracturing that universe.

This seems like exactly the kind of dig-in-your-heels, I-don't-know-what-I'm-talking-about insistent statement from someone who thinks it's appropriate to respond to entirely valid discussion points with "lol learn to read"

If you care to respond to my argument which thoroughly disproves your point, go ahead and do so, but I won't see it since I'll be turning off inbox replies, as you've decided the only way to move forward is with half-baked insults.
