DC Comics’ film franchise has been having a rough go of it since they began their cinematic universe with 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The discourse surrounding that film slowed the growth of the DC Extended Universe and caused it to go into multiple different directions that weren’t as successful as they hoped. When the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger finally went through, incoming CEO David Zaslav promised some major changes, and he definitely came through on that promise. Zaslav would go on to cancel projects like HBO Max’s Batgirl and even the in development The Wonder Twins movie. The cancellation of Batgirl was definitely concerning due to it being fully filmed and undergoing test screenings. Recently, Zaslav appointed James Gunn and Peter Safran as the co-CEOs of DC Studios, and during the duos slate presentation Safran revealed that Batgirl was canceled because it was unwatchable. Now, one of the stars of the film is defending the film. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Brendan Fraser revealed some new information about the test screenings.
