David Zaslav is taking no chances when it comes to the possibility of leaks for the famously and recently cancelled Batgirl film.
“No, we have nothing. Adil called me and said, ‘Go ahead shoot some things on your mobile.’ I went on the server and everything was blocked. We were like ‘F**king s***!’ All the scenes with Batman in them! S**t!'”
It looks like the effort to shut down any possible leaks was swift and necessary. Clearly the directors of the movie from the quote above were interested in stealing Warner Bros Discovery’s assets under the false belief they were entitled to the material. Based on their response to being blocked, it’s obvious they weren’t happy about losing the opportunity to save the work for “the future”.
But for anyone waiting see Batgirl out on a streaming service via a future release, it doesn’t seem likely since the film isn’t complete.
Before it’s released one day, there would be a lot of work still to do — just like the Snyder Cut. It cannot be released in its current state. There’s no VFX, we still had to shoot some scenes. So if they wanted us to release the Batgirl movie they would need to give us the means to do it… to finish it properly with our vision.

It’s an interesting way to finish that quote. It doesn’t seem WBD is interested in their “vision”.
The interview and the tone from the dismissed directors all seem to be part of a new narrative being formed against Warner Bros Discovery head honcho, David Zaslav. The same group of websites that tried unsuccessfully to dislodge Disney CEO Bob Chapek with non-stop negative coverage are back at it again with Zaslav. This time they’re hoping to win via a dropping stock price.

"David Zaslav is all about quality! He knew Batgirl sucked!"
The same David Zaslav who greenlit that Duggar family reality show and Honey Boo Boo? Oh sure, I'd trust such an asshat as to what quality is.

Will the effort to take down a CEO they disagree with be more successful this time around? I suppose it depends on whether or not Zaslav can turn the company around. Despite sharks in the water, for now he’s in charge — leakers and haters haven’t yet found a way to kick him off his ship.
