Leslie Grace is opening up about the bizarre situation that scuttled her debut in the DC movie franchise as Batgirl. Last year, amid the WarnerMedia-Discovery merger, David Zazlav, head of the newly merged entertainment conglomerate decided to shelve “Batgirl”, the $90-million feature in which Grace made her debut as the titular caped crusader, with corporate bean-counters determining it made more fiscal sense for the company to take a tax loss on the movie than actually release it.

During a recent interview with Yahoo! Life, Grace was asked if she’d consider playing Batgirl again if the opportunity were to arise. READ MORE: ‘Batgirl’ Star Leslie Grace & Zoe Saldana React To $90-Million Superhero Movie Being Shelved “I mean, why not?
