Others are taking this latest revelation as a positive for another project, namely the turbulent and mysterious The Batman solo film.
First Nightwing isn't a priority and now Batgirl is cancelled. I love it. Now we can finally get moving on the Batman solo and introduce these characters gradually and slowly build up the 'Batverse'.

While some want the lane cleared for The Batman, others want the Man of Steel to get some additional time in the sun.
hopefully batgirl gets cancelled so they can fast tract a man of steel 2 or a solo batman film instead.

Now that Whedon has departed the project, some fans see it as the perfect opportunity to get a female director in charge of the project.

Some fans aren't taking the news very well, and were hoping to see this project become a reality.

There are some who would have loved to see a Whedon Batgirl film, provided he brought on another fan favorite writer.
Said it before, Joss should have enlisted @GailSimone for #Batgirl.

Other fans see this as a sign that things are changing up at Warner Bros. and the DCEU in a positive way.
Early reactions to #Aquaman are positive, and Joss Whedon is gone from #Batgirl. Could Warner Bros finally be making good decisions? All we can do is hope. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Fans like @burnthecomedian have never really been big supporters of other Whedon films. It makes sense then that they don't see this as a bad thing.
#Batgirl losing Joss Wehdon may make some of you sad. It makes me happy because I've never liked any of his stuff. Sorry, I know, my nerd cred takes a hit but I really only ever liked the original Buffy movie...

THAT SAID! I dunno if "Mimi Leder" is available / interested..

Other fans have given Whedon props for knowing when to walk away.
I'm glad he had the ability to say that he wasnt the right person for the job vs trying and it not being a pleasurable experience for fans. I hope DCEU gets back on their feet soon! #superheroes #Batgirl https://t.co/8frFIg1CrG

A few like @itzmoe hope to audition for the role and aren't sad about not auditioning for Whedon.
Heck yeah! Now I'm excited that @RachelLeishman & I won't have to audition for #JossWhedon when we (hopefully) audition for #Batgirl!!!! #DCEU #DCcomicshttps://t.co/9u4VvhwMuc
