shooting that said, "This movie's not going to work"?
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. 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.
Did you ever see a final cut of the film?
That's the one thing I asked for. I got to see the film as far as it got to; the film wasn't complete by the time that it was tested. There were a bunch of scenes that weren't even in there. They were at
the beginning of the editing process, and they were cut off because of everything going on at the company. 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. Maybe we'll get to see clips of it later on.
When you spoke to Variety last April, you had just wrapped the movie and you said you were already talking to the directors about a sequel.
We still are. We were so excited about all the ideas that we had, because you can see long- term potential in the story that we were beginning to build.

Obviously, Peter Safran and his co-chairman at DC, James Gunn weren't there when this decision was made, but have they reached out to you?
No, I haven't heard from them. But I wish them the best on all the plans that they've got rolling out. They've got a lot of projects to handle, and it's not an easy job.
Matt Reeves' "Batman" with Robert Pattinson is getting a sequel, and there's talk that it will include more of the Bat family. Would you consider coming back to play Batgirl?
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. 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. I can't speak too much about a future for Bat- girl 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.
Let's go back again to that first time you talked to Variety about "Batgirl." You had just been cast and you spoke so eloquently and so passionately about what you, as Batgirl, would mean to young
Latinas. What do you say to them now?
Oh, man. That your journey is not a mistake. That everything in your journey can be learned from, can be
