The Whale star - who was set to play the villainous Firefly in the DC film - said on The Howard Stern Show that the film didn't get a 'fair shake' before it was scrapped by Warner Bros.
"It's decaying and just gorgeous, and it looks like it's Gotham City; it's perfectly cast. You believe it no matter where you look in the town if you light it the right way."Batgirl was due to focus on Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon.
The film, shot entirely in Glasgow and co-starring Leslie Grace, Michael Keaton and JK Simmons, reportedly cost an estimated $90m and was scheduled for release in late 2022. After test screenings the studio made the call to shelve the production completely, with no plans for it to appear in cinemas or on streaming service HBO Max.
