The DC Comics film “Batgirl” will be completely “shelved” by Warner Bros., a top Hollywood source told The Post.

That means it won’t hit theaters or the streaming service HBO Max. Fans will not see it.

[Boogieman]

Pfeiffer was Catwoman, not Batgirl tho.

[Magnum44]

I think there were three people who played Catwoman in the TV series. Newmar was the best.

[DesertRhino]

No Catwoman can ever exceed Julie Newmar. She was what god intended as the “woman” design when he first put pencil to paper. Adam never had a chance...

[The Louiswu]

Batgirl from the graphic novels...this is what Batgirl should look like IMHO

Is that a dude? No chest at all.

[Red in Blue PA]

Julie Newmar was my favorite too.

[DesertRhino]

Lips too big, eyebrows need tweezing, tits too little, and an idiotic stunned look, like a neanderthal just saw a Bic lighter.
I guess if I was really drunk.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Well, in that case, what happened? Will any heads roll, so to speak, that the writers, producers, directors, actors, etc. produced something so bad, that they can’t use it?

[KarlInOhio]

Marketing and distribution cost money. They may have figured spending $50 million advertising this pile of guano would bring in $10 million in sales, thus losing an additional $40 million. Time to bury it now.

Thank you for the tip re: Critical Drinker

He’s a must watch!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Finally someone mentioned Julie Newmar! Never saw her as Catwoman as I did not watch silly TV shows, but I did see her in LI’L ABNER! Stupifyin’ Jones! And in other movies she did.

I used to date a gal that looked like her! WOW!

[Yardstick]

Apparently the suit was designed to thwart the male gaze.

[RedMonqey]

Careful... They might poke your eyes out!!!

[cuban leaf]

She had what I’d call a perfect figure. I also liked the way she handled the character, though I was only in 6th grade, so my criteria were not particularly sophisticated.😉

What kind of wood washes up on shore?

[keat]

Looks like a European/Middle Eastern botox lip in a North Korean all season suit.

Omg, that's good.

Apparently because of the Discovery merger they have the ability to take a significant tax write off. If it truly is a bad movie they may lose less by shelving it and taking the write-off

Lee Merriwether was pretty hot Catwoman, too!

[leaning conservative]

I agree.
