According to Deadline, an American entertainment news outlet, Grace shared some behind-the-scenes photos and clips from the filming of 'Batgirl' in an Instagram look back.
Grace would have played Batgirl in the now-cancelled film, which was set to premiere on HBO Max in 2023. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. and DC Films put it on hold permanently earlier this year. "Thank u for teachin' me, 2022. you were singular in many ways that will stay with me. My gratitude and love for life is much deeper thanks to the experiences you brought me. I take your lessons with me as we part," The post was captioned by Grace. Grace can be seen dressed up in what appears to be her trailer in the video.
The use of yellow in the costume is reminiscent of Michael Keaton's iconic Batman suit from the 1989 film 'Batman' and its sequel 'Batman Returns'.
Keaton would have played the same role in 'Batgirl' again.
As previously reported by Deadline, the exact reason for the shelving was not disclosed, but according to sources, the film did not align with the new strategy being implemented by DC Films and HBO Max.
