8 Intriguing Superhero TV Shows That Were Never Made

As is often said, we are currently living through a hugely prosperous period for superhero TV shows, with Marvel and DC both owning the airwaves with the likes of Daredevil, Arrow, The Flash, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and many others.

Adrianne Palicki is doing pretty well for herself on the superhero scene right now. She has played Bobbi Morse on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. since the show’s second season, and Marvel have just ordered a pilot for a potential spinoff called Most Wanted, which would pair her with Nick Blood’s Lance Hunter. The last time she starred in a superhero pilot, though, things didn’t go so well.

In 2011, prolific TV writer David E. Kelley helmed a pilot for a new live-action Wonder Woman. It starred Palicki in the lead, with Cary Elwes in a supporting role and Elizabeth Hurley as the big bad. Unfortunately, NBC did not pick up the series and, when the pilot found its way online, people could see why.

However, seeing as Gal Gadot is about to star in Wonder Woman’s first solo movie in 2017, we’re pretty sure fans have put this behind them now.
