“When we were expecting XYZ amount of support and money to expand scenes — to do pickup shots and those kinds of things — that was a gut punch,” He continued. “But then we learned that it was in the interest of writing down some debt? That part really stung.”

Grace acknowledged there were difficulties during filming but it wasn’t enough for her to cancel the entire episode. 

“I’m not going to lie to you. In every film, there are obstacles, and our film was nothing short of that. Half of the shoot was night shoots in Scotland, where it never stops raining,” She spoke. “So there were obstacles, but at the end of the day, because of the incredible crew, nothing that ever got in the way of us delivering what we knew we wanted to deliver for this film. At least from what I was able to see.”

She concluded: “But the film that I got to see — the scenes that were there — was incredible. There was definitely potential for a good film, in my opinion.”

What about the future? “Batgirl,” Grace says fans shouldn’t give up hope just yet.

“We’ve definitely had conversations about Batgirl’s future and how Batgirl can make a resurgence. I think fans are looking forward to seeing that,” She spoke.

“We’ll just see where that takes us; I can’t say one way or the other if that is a reality at this point,” The actress continued, saying that she “can’t speak too much about a future for Batgirl or guarantee anything.”

“The last thing that I would want to do is give folks any kind of inkling of something that I have not much control over — as we’ve learned,” Grace said.
