Batgirl

The most notable—and surprising—death of the year belongs to Barbara Gordon’s first solo movie, murdered at the hands of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav shortly after the two companies merged. Although the film was nearly finished, according to directors Bilali Fallah and Adid El Arbi, Batgirl was destroyed to get a few bucks via a tax write-off. Zaslav’s new plan is to keep DC movies on the big screen and instead of tiny, streaming ones.
