The Wrap is reporting that an anonymous source has told them there are “no imminent plans” to attach a new filmmaker to the project.
It turns out that there were no plans to actually make the Batgirl movie until some time after the Batman solo film, and since we have no idea when we’re going to see that movie, it could be years before Batgirl even gets off the ground.
The fact that Batgirl had a writer/director put it in better shape than a lot of the DC movies that Warner Bros. has announced, but apparently, it was never actually meant to be a near-term project, and the fact that Joss Whedon has now stepped away doesn’t really change anything as far as the schedule goes.
