Ifølge The Hollywood Reporter, så passer historien om katastrofale testvisninger af “Batgirl” slet ikke. Den havde en enkelt testvisning og fik en nogenlunde middel reaktion.
Behind the Cancellation of Batgirl:
(…) when a very early version of the film test screened, with temp VFX and score, it landed a score in the low 60s and is believed to have only tested once. Film producers and executives have long noted that test screenings are best used to determine whether audiences are engaged or disengaged during certain parts of the film, not as a final judgment call on a movie. For example, horror films that end up doing well have been known to test in the 60s. Batgirl’s test score, which was for a director’s cut, is comparable to scores for the first It (2017), which wound up grossing $700.3 million globally, as well as an early score for the upcoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Both of those films tested in the 60s.
Det ligner mere og mere, at historien i tabloid avisen The New York Post var et forsøg på, at få beslutningen til at ligne en kreativ beslutning og ikke en kold og kynisk forretnings beslutning.
