“It’s an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina Batgirl movie,” Kevin said on the show, adding that he didn’t “give a sh** if the movie was absolute f***ing dog sh** – I guarantee you that it wasn’t.”
He added that the film’s “two directors [Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi] who directed that movie did a couple of episodes of Ms. Marvel, and it was a wonderful f***ing show and they had more money to do Batgirl than they had to do an episode of Ms. Marvel and stuff.”
He also noted that even if Batgirl didn’t look the greatest, it was probably a leg above the episodes of the DC series that air on The CW.
“I love all the CW shows, but the CW shows show their budgetary constraints,” Kevin said. “They said Batgirl looked too cheap because it was a $90 million movie. How do you make a cheap-looking $90 million movie? If it looked slightly better than an episode of Arrow then why couldn’t we see that?”
Kevin also called out the WB over keeping the Flash movie, starring Ezra Miller, who has run into a fair amount of trouble over the past few months.
“That is the baffling thing,” he added. “I don’t give a sh** how bad the Batgirl movie is, nobody in that movie is complicated or has anything in their real life you have to market around. In The Flash movie, we all know there’s a big problem! Flash is the Reverse-Flash in real life.”
Batgirl star Leslie Grace recently opened up about the film’s cancellation.
