10 Intriguing DC Movies That Were Never Made

Currently, we're seeing more comic book movies being produced than ever before – but there are still an enormous amount that have slipped through the net over the years and failed to get made. For instance, because starring as Green Lantern and Deadpool clearly isn’t enough superhero roles for one man, Ryan Reynolds was also at one point set to play The Flash in a movie based on a David Goyer script. After years in development hell, The Flash movie is now about to be made as part of the DC Extended Universe, though with Ezra Miller in the role of Barry Allen.

7) Batman vs. Superman

Yes, this year’s superhero smash-up between Henry Cavill’s Supes and Ben Affleck’s Bats is not the first version of the idea that Warner Bros. have considered. Back before Nolan’s Batman films had begun, DC were looking to restart the screen careers of their two big-hitters in one fell swoop.

Wolfgang Peterson was set to direct from a script by Andrew Kevin Walker and Akiva Goldsman. With some aspects that are strangely similar to what we know about the upcoming Batman V Superman, it would have seen a middle-aged Wayne donning the cowl once again to fight the Joker – who had killed Bruce’s bride-to-be. He would come into conflict with Superman when the Man of Steel is manipulated by Lex Luthor, who is revealed to be in league with the Joker.

The project got so far down the line that a poster of a proposed logo for the film briefly appears in zombie drama I Am Legend, a film also written by Goldsman.
