Batgirl actor pens note on shelving the film; Appeals to consider releasing 

It was a few weeks back, when news broke that Warner Bros shelved its feature film adapatation of DC Comics' character, Batgirl. Following this, recently, Batgirl actor Ivory Aquino spoke about shelving the project. Ivory plays the role of the best friend of the titular character.

Addressing Warner Bros, Ivory pointed out The Hollywood Reporter article that reported on the "funeral screenings" of Batgirl and the footage being destroyed.

"If this is the case, as one of many who poured our hearts into the making of this movie, I ask that this measure be reconsidered. As much as I’ve tried my best to be strong these past few weeks, I’d find myself crying, for lack of a better term, from grief, and tonight was one of those nights. As much as Batgirl has been labeled a woke film, it simply came together that way because of writing that reflects the world we live in. For me, more than anything, it is a father-daughter story which hits close to home as my Dad passed a year ago, shortly before I booked this project, and I was hoping it would resonate with other children around the world, grown and not-so-grown, who hold their fathers in the highest esteem and who could see Batgirl as a story of that special bon,” the actor wrote in a series of tweets.

The actor further mentioned how she was not being able to talk about the "ordeal" to anyone and how actor Leslie Grace who was to portray the title role, checked on her the day the project was stalled.

"I’ve dared not ask since if she’s spent nights holding back tears like I have because she has had to be the face of our Batgirl family and has had to put on a brave face as a way of taking care of us the way she gracefully steered our film."

Ivory also appealed to consider releasing Batgirl that is "labour of love".
