As a longtime gamer and avid fan of both comic books and television shows, I have to admit that I was both amused and impressed by the easter egg in The Boys Season 4 finale that poked fun at DC’s cancellation of the Batgirl movie.
Amazon Prime Video’s series “The Boys” is recognized for poking fun at political and pop culture happenings through satire. In the final episode of Season 4, it carries on this theme with a hidden reference in Episode 8 that jests DC’s decision to abandon the Batgirl movie production.
The Boys Season 4 finale jokes about DC’s Batgirl movie cancellation
I was thrilled as I watched The Boys Season 4 finale unfold, especially during the early scenes of the episode on VNN Today. The show brilliantly poked fun at the recent cancellation of DC’s Batgirl movie through a segment reporting that Vought Studios had unexpectedly scrapped “the highly anticipated film” Training A-Train – despite it supposedly being completely finished.
In the same style as The Blind Side, this made-up biography features Supe and Will Ferrell in the leading roles. Ashley Barrett comes onto the scene and shares how they discovered they could earn greater financial benefits from a tax write-off.
As a film critic with over a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of productions that didn’t quite make it to the big screen. The news about Warner Bros. decision not to release Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s Batgirl, despite being in post-production, was a familiar disappointment.
the studio may have calculated that they could secure a greater tax break write-off by not releasing the film, instead of spending the estimated $90 million on post-production and making it available on HBO Max. The production reportedly started with a budget of around $70-75 million, but ballooned during post-production.
In the beginning of The Boys Season 4 finale, there’s a humorous spin on the situation leading up to the unveiling of Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League, as well as a reference back to the show’s third season. After hearing about the cancellation, director Adam Bourke implores fans through a social media message to continually watch the trailer in order for him to have a chance at persuading Vought to #RELEASEBOURKECUTAGAIN once more.
