The city council confirmed they have yet to be pay Warner Bros an agreed £150,000 incentive and said 'discussions were ongoing' after the studio's shock announcement.
Glasgow is yet to pay a £150,000 incentive to Warner Bros to shoot Batgirl in the city, a council spokesman has said, after it was reported the company had shelved the film.
It is understood the council is confident of attracting future films and TV shows to the city despite the blow, as the decision isn’t related to the location. It also hopes to maintain a relationship with Warner Bros. Following Warner Bros’ decision, the spokesman said: “The filming of Batgirl brought a very significant economic benefit to Glasgow when the production was here, with 450 Glasgow-based crew jobs, almost 1300 Scottish supporting artists, and many subcontractors working as tradespeople and in traffic management and security.
That has prompted further speculation about the future release of The Flash, which had already been in doubt after star Ezra Miller was arrested on two different occasions over harassment accusations. Michael Keaton was set to return as Batman in both The Flash and Batgirl.
