Almost three years after the Batgirl movie was scrapped, a crew member has confirmed that the DC film was pretty much finished, complete with VFX editing.

"It’s insane that they scrapped it. It was literally completely finished VFX and everything," said art department assistant Annie Mitchell via a TikTok comment. "I definitely believe it still exists tho. Really hoping someone leaks it in 10 years."

The comments are in reply to a video, part of the viral TikTok trend where users answer ‘What’s your favorite piece of lost media’, to which @hellenicrequiem replied Batgirl. "It's actually so soul-crushing to see the amount of love and effort put into a film only for it to be turned into a tax write-off and completely deleted from existence," said the user of Batgirl.

According to Mitchell’s comments and her IMDb page, Mitchell worked in the art department on Batgirl while it was filmed in Scotland. "I was in the set decoration department for the whole movie," said Mitchell. "For things like the huge street transformation we did to make a random Glasgow street into Gotham."
