Glasgow could be set for more movie misery amid speculation The Flash might be scrapped

Glasgow could be set to miss out on another big screen 'moment' following the cancellation of Batgirl.

Speculation is rife online that Warner Bros could go down the path of also scrapping The Flash due to concerns over the behaviour - and arrests - of star Ezra Miller.

It comes after the 29-year-old was charged with burglary, their third arrest this year after Miller was arrested twice in Hawaii this spring.

Warner Bros is weighing up three options with respect to the $200m blockbuster, with shelving the film listed among the options as a 'last resort', The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Production for the comic book superhero flick took over Glasgow city centre in summer last year, with chase scenes involving Batman filmed in and around George Square, the Kingston Bridge off-ramp and Renfield Street among other locations.

The much-anticipated movie, starring Miller alongside Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck (as Bruce Wayne/Batman), is scheduled for release in June next year.

Meanwhile a petition has been launched by one Glaswegian move fan calling on Warner Bros to release Batgirl - and has been signed by over 1,500 people so far.

The superhero flick - the first movie to be filmed entirely here in the city - was scheduled for a theatrical release late next year, but was shelved after receiving poor reviews in test screenings according to US media reports.
