The photo, shared on Adil El Arbi's Instagram story, shows Grace and Keaton in their full costumes, standing in the gloomy streets of Gotham, accompanied by their director.

The now-cancelled film would have featured Keaton as Wayne, a revival of his role from the Tim Burton era of Batman films. This would be one of two different occasions in which he'd wear the cowl for the DCEU; he's set to play Batman in the upcoming Flash movie, too.

Warner Bros. officially cancelled Batgirl earlier this week. It was planned to be a smaller scale DC movie, and was produced on a tighter budget than the likes of Justice League, but now it won't even see the light of day on streaming services, nevermind a theatrical release. As such, this photo is a rare look at both the Batgirl we'll likely never see, as well as Keaton's return to his iconic role.
