As mentioned above, the real story seems money/budget related. From the web:
In August 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) announced that it no longer planned to release Batgirl on HBO Max or theatrically,[44][45][40][46] despite a previously-scheduled 2022 release on HBO Max.[40] TheWrap reported that WBD felt the film "simply did not work" and went against the new desire and mandate from CEO David Zaslav to make DC films "big theatrical event films".[44] The Guardian reported that this put Batgirl "among the most expensive canceled cinematic projects ever".[47]
