On August 2, 2022 Warner Bros. Discovery announced that the nearly completed Batgirl would not be coming to HBOMax as intended.

The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max. Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance,” said a Spokesperson from Warner Bros. Pictures.

Wonder Woman 1984 is the long-awaited sequel of 2017's Wonder Woman, with Gal Gadot portraying the titular superhero for the fourth time in a feature film.

Originally slated for release more than a year ago, on Dec. 13, 2019, the film's debut in the United States was pushed a surprising number of times before finally seeing the light of day on Dec. 25, 2020, via HBO Max. The film was first delayed until June, 2020, due to "rushed pre and post-production," but then received an additional extra seven months for the post-production team to perfect the film due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

DC fans finally have renewed hope for a quality silver screen Joker after Jared Leto destroyed their faith in 2016.

The first trailer for Todd Phillips' Joker teases Joaquin Phoenix's committed performance as a man named Arthur, whose life unraveled before his mind did. "I used to think my life was a tragedy," he says in voiceover. "But now I realize, it's a comedy."

While it's easy to say a villain is just the product of his times, the trailer teases visual proof that Gotham is a gritty, urban wasteland that drives a man who's seen dancing with his mother to Nat King Cole's "Smile" to start a guerrilla war. We even hear samples of The Joker's maniacal laughter as it evolves over increasingly chaotic times. Phoenix's voice is gentle as Arthur asks, "is it just me or is it getting crazier out there?"

Joker opens Oct. 4.
