Just release it on HBO Max already. It's not going to pull new subscribers but the money has been spent & people will watch it just to see if it's really that bad or to see familiar actors saying horrible dialogue. Might have to wait until after the next tax cycle.

[@matpaterson8830]

That was genuinely great comedic timing. It's great to see him laughing and actually having a laugh at himself a little bit too

[@J-Wall]

Even if it was mediocre I still want to see Batgirl. I guess DC does not want to take too many risks with all the mainstream hate they have been getting.

Yeah agree man who give a fuck they spend many month make that movie,so released it as appreciation

yeah me too. I saw a trailer of it and it actually looks good to me. Alot better than other things that have been released.
