Leslie Grace took to social media to share her 2022 in review, and she shared a peek at Batgirl’s costume among the never-seen-before videos and snaps. Unfortunately, we won’t see it on the big screen because the movie got canceled, but luckily the singer and actress shared with fans how Barbara Gordon/Batgirl would have looked in the HBO Max film.

Grace’s video includes brief clips of her in her trailer while wearing what appears to be her costume. The look consists of an armored purple and yellow uniform.

In August 2022, Leslie Grace thanked her fans for their support after Warner Bros. decided to cancel the release of   Batgirl  across all platforms after spending 90 million dollars. “Querida familia! On the heels of the recent news about our movie Batgirl, I am proud of the love, hard work and intention all of our incredible cast and tireless crew put into this film over 7 months in Scotland,” the Dominican American singer and actress wrote on Instagram.

“I feel blessed to have worked among absolute greats and forged relationships for a lifetime in the process! To every Batgirl fan – THANK YOU for the love and belief, allowing me to take on the cape and become, as Babs said best, ‘my own damn hero!’ Batgirl for life!”

Sources close to the project revealed that Batgirl and the new Scooby-Doo movie Scoob!: Holiday Haunt ultimately did not cut, as Warner Bros. is implementing a new strategy, and the studio “is looking to make theatrical tentpoles with budgets at $90 million-plus, and from early footage seen, this did not fall into place with that model.”

The 27-year-old star known in Hollywood for In the Heights would have been among the short group of Latinas headlining a superhero film.

The film was expected to debut on HBO Max in 2023, and the filmmakers behind it were Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the team who made Bad Boys for Life, according to The Root. Christina Hodson, who was responsible for writing Birds of Prey and The Flash, wrote the script for the failed new DC film.
