Batgirl, starring Leslie Grace and featuring Michael Keaton's Batman, was shelved, disappointing fans worldwide. Set photos revealed detailed costumes, practical effects, and a perfect atmosphere for Gotham. The head of Warner Brothers Discovery, David Zaslav, considers scrapping the movie a brave decision, but it could have brought much-needed levity to the DC universe.
When news broke back in August 2022 that the long-rumored Batgirl movie starring Leslie Grace as the popular DC heroine was ultimately shelved after being completely finished, fans all over the world went up in arms about this shocking announcement. Not only was Brendon Fraser brought in to play the distinguished Batman villain, Firefly, but Michael Keaton would reprise his role as the Caped Crusader.

While characters like Dracula, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Mummy tend to get top billing, many horror creations unfortunately seem underappreciated as Universal seeks to reimagine its classic catalog of horror films. Whether created in a lab, hailing from outer space, or lurking in the shadows, these lesser-known silver-screen stars prove the Universal pantheon of horror icons are more interesting than most give them credit for.
Before the rise of Freddy Krueger, Chucky, Jason, or Jigsaw, the Universal Monsters played a vital role in shaping and popularizing the horror genre in cinema, paving the way for them. Spanning anywhere from 1913 to the present day, Universal's historic horror characters have left an indelible mark on movies, television, theme parks, and merchandise, becoming pop culture icons.
