Batgirl star Michael Keaton wasn't too fussed about the movie being scrapped by Warner Bros. before it had a chance to release, despite being finished. 

Keaton would've reprised his iconic Batman role in the movie, starring opposite Leslie Grace as Batgirl. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah directed. 

"No, I didn't care one way or another. Big, fun, nice check," Keaton told GQ. But, he did sympathize with the directors. 

"I like those boys. They're nice guys," he added. "I pull for them. I want them to succeed, and I think they felt very badly, and that made me feel bad. Me?" he continued, "I'm good."

Next up for the DCU is Creature Commandos, an animated Max show which arrives in December 2024. It will be followed by Superman, the first DCU movie. Joker: Folie à Deux hits theaters this October 4, but the movie isn't part of the DCU.
