Why was Batgirl cancelled?

Set to release in 2022-2023 on HBO Max.

Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon / Batgirl:
A vigilante in Gotham City and the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon. Grace said that "there's not a lot of nuances in her thinking at the beginning of the story" and that she "vacillates between the nuances of life and good and bad and black and white and that there so much in between", but that the character would "discover a lot about parts of herself" throughout the story that cause her to change her worldview.

J. K. Simmons as James Gordon:
The commissioner of Gotham City Police Department, Barbara's father, and a close ally of Batman. Simmons said the film would explore the character outside of his job as commissioner, showing "much more of a domestic aspect of Jim Gordon" through his relationship with Barbara.

Jacob Scipio as Anthony Bressi: A mob boss in Gotham City.

Brendan Fraser as Ted Carson / Firefly: A disgruntled veteran who became a sociopathic pyromaniac. Fraser said that Carson had an original backstory, rather than being adapted from a previous version of the character.

Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman: A wealthy socialite from an alternate universe of Gotham City who moonlights as a crimefighting vigilante.

Ivory Aquino as Alysia Yeoh: A bartender and Barbara's best friend.

Additionally, Rebecca Front, Corey Johnson, and Ethan Kai were cast in undisclosed roles, with Kai being referred to as a "leading" character.
