Joss Whedon Exiting Batgirl Project

The Bat signal is being dimmed … for now.
Joss Whedon is saying goodbye to DC Entertainment heroine Batgirl.
Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer among other pop culture touchstones, is exiting the Warner Bros. feature project, which he was writing and was slated to direct.
"Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn't have a story," Whedon told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement.
