In a recent post on Instagram, Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah responded to the shock cancelation of their DC flick. The directing duo revealed their pride to have worked in the Batman mythos with a cast of "fantastic actors," before sharing their hopes that fans would one day see the film which was "far from finished:"

"We are saddened and shocked by the news. We still can't believe it. As directors, it is critical that our work be shown to audiences, and while the film was far from finished, we wish that fans all over the world would have had the opportunity to see and embrace the final film themselves. Maybe one day they will insha'Allah.Our amazing cast and crew did a tremendous job and worked so hard to bring Batgirl to life. We are forever grateful to have been part of that team. It was a dream to work with such fantastic actors like Michael Keaton, JK Simmons, Brendan Fraser, Jacob Scipio, Corey Johnson, Rebecca Front and especially the great Leslie Grace, who portrayed Batgirl with so much passion, dedication and humanity.In any case, as huge fans of Batman since we were little kids, it was a privilege and an honor to have been a part of the DCEU, even if it was for a brief moment."

El Arbi commented on the post saying he is now "gonna try to enjoy [his] honeymoon," having just discovered the news at the time of his wedding.

"And now I’m gonna try to enjoy my honeymoon with my own superhero Loubna Khalkhali"
