I cannot actually believe this. Feel free to say I am full of crap and this article is untrue. Because damn it, I WANT to be wrong.
From The Direct:

In an interview translated from French with Skript, as seen on Youtube, Bilall Fallah, one of the directors for the recently canceled Batgirl movie, revealed that his fellow director, Adil El Arbi, tried to get him to salvage some of the footage on his phone.
Sadly, when Fallah went on the server, "everything was gone," including all of the scenes with Michael Keaton's Batman:
"No, we have nothing. Adil called and told me, 'Go ahead! Shoot everything on your phone!' I went on the server... Everything was gone. We were [like]... 'F**ing shit!'... We did not [even] keep [the scenes] with Batman in it."
Jesus Christ.
Interestingly enough, there are reports that this isn't the end for Leslie Grace's Batgirl. Rumor has it that WB is working on getting her version of the character in a future DC Films project. Though given what they did to her movie, it's hard to see a future where the actress plays ball—simply put, she can't trust them.
Ya think?
David Zaslav has a LOT to answer for. Hopefully enough creators can band together to get him fired from Warner Discovery. The company has reportedly lost a whopping 2.3 billion dollars since last Friday (I don’t have a link handy) so the board is already pissed at him.

Every day I wake up, remember what's going on, and walk with dread to my computer to check out the latest news of what Zaslav has destroyed (and been appalled each time).
This was my entire routine during 2016-2021, by the way, and I'm pissed off at being forced to return to it unexpectedly.
