I saw somewhere that "nearly complete" for "Batgirl" is a bit misleading.
I believe the story was that, yes, the action had been shot, but none of
the FX (a major component) had been done. And then there was something
about being able to take an advantageous write-down on the sunk cost.

Unfortunately I don't have a link.
