BURBANK, CA—While giving creative notes on the screenplay in a Friday meeting, DC Comics president Geoff Johns reportedly said he was concerned that a recent draft of the ‘Batgirl: Origins’ script was not compelling enough to support a movie, three more movies, a 2028 reboot, and four additional movies.
