Remember the hullabaloo about this one?

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Grace teased that "maybe" Batgirl will eventually be released, but that the journey of the film's trajectory has taught her a meaningful life lesson nonetheless.
"Maybe one day the movie will be seen," Grace revealed. "This experience has shown me that sometimes certain things happen in order for you to feel the importance and the value of your own voice. So I'm definitely keeping that in mind for the future."
"Something that's important within this conversation of representation — Latino representation in film and TV — is more than being seen in a specific light whenever we play a role," Grace said elsewhere in the interview. "It's very important that when we're playing roles that are specifically Latino, that they're nuanced and that they have detail when it's merited... But I also think that just existing, having the right to just play a role and exist like any other actor has the privilege to do, is so important. And in this case, I had the opportunity to do that as a superhero and exist in this space and be where I'm from and look how I look and speak how I speak and bring that value, for whatever it's worth, to the story of Batgirl and Barbara Gordon.... There are more roles ahead. I'm grateful that I got to have that experience and I get to still speak on it."
