Scrapped Batgirl movie was hit by Glasgow rain
The production was filmed entirely in Glasgow
In January last year, the Trongate area of Glasgow was transformed by set builders into Gotham City for the production, with alterations made to shop fronts and police cars. In an online statement following the announcement, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah said they were "saddened and shocked" by the news they wished fans could have the "opportunity to see and embrace the final film themselves".
The actor said the most "lamentable" part of the decision by Warner Bros had been that "a whole generation of little girls are going to have to wait longer to see a Batgirl and say, 'Hey, she looks like me'."
