It has been a long road for DC Movies, WB, and the fans as well, but it has finally come to an end with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over DC Studios and introducing the new DC Movies schedule.
The Snyderverse was cancelled in order for the new Gunnverse to begin. Let’s look at the films that the studio cancelled for whatever reason. RIP, Batgirl.

These DC movies were never made, whether it was due to the directors’ choice or external factors they had no control over. While others were lucky to escape damage, some will regrettably remain only in fans’ “What if?” fantasies.

10. Superman V

After the failure of Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, a fifth film in the Christopher Reeves Superman franchise was swiftly shelved.
It seems that Christopher Reeve thought about appearing in Superman V at some point in the early 1990s. Reeve’s career was launched with the first Superman, but because it was such an iconic part, it also typecast him. Additionally, Reeve didn’t enjoy Superman III or IV because he thought they lacked the heart and, in the case of Superman IV, the budget of the first two. In interviews after the fourth film, he officially vowed never to play Superman again, but at a 1994 Dixie Trek conference, he said a strong story would have persuaded him to return. Superman Returns from 2006 eventually became the spiritual fifth movie in the series.

9. Catwoman

Catwoman has appeared in a number of different renditions of Gotham City over the years. Few interpretations, however, have been as memorable as Michelle Pfeiffer’s portrayal in Batman Returns. The success of her role and the film itself led to an agreement for her to feature in a spin-off flick.
Because Tim Burton and screenwriter Daniel Waters were creating a story for a solo Catwoman movie, Pfeiffer was left out of the plot for Batman Forever. In 1995, Warner Bros. received a version of the screenplay.

Batman Forever was released in theatres on the same day they handed the script over to the production house. The fact that the film was largely despised was irrelevant. More people came to see it than the original did, and it made $336 million at the box office. Warner Bros. abruptly lost interest in Burton’s proposed movie, and everyone quickly withdrew from the venture.

8. Justice League Mortal

Following the underwhelming box office performance of “Superman Returns,” Warner Bros. opted to develop a Justice League film. If the movie proved successful, the studio planned to produce spin-off movies for each character of the Justice League, which would be the opposite of the strategy Marvel Studios would use with The Avengers.
D.J. Cortana played Superman, Armie Hammer played Batman, Megan Gale played Wonder Woman, Adam Brody played The Flash, Common played Green Lantern, Santiago Cabrera played Aquaman, and Hugh Keays-Byrne played Martian Manhunter.

7. Green Lantern 2

The superhero movie industry considered Green Lantern to be a flop almost universally. Despite earning $219.9 million at the box office, the movie fell short of its $200 million budget.
Warner Bros. scrapped the scheduled sequel as soon as word of Green Lantern’s financial failure and the dismal response from critics and fans spread. Although Zack Snyder did hint at almost bringing Reynolds back as Green Lantern in 2017’s Justice League.

Another factor in the sequel’s cancellation was Reynolds’ lack of desire to reprise his role, notwithstanding his dislike for the movie itself. Reynolds had previously encouraged people on Twitter not to watch Green Lantern. Furthermore, the end-credits scene in Deadpool 2 includes a satirical Easter egg in which the Merc with a Mouth murders Ryan Reynolds while he reads the Green Lantern screenplay.

6. Robin

Robin was a Batman and Robin spin-off movie that was scrapped owing to criticism and a box office disaster. In a 2012 interview , actor Chris O’Donnell, who portrayed Robin in Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, said that there were plans to produce a Robin spin-off feature with him revisiting the character.
The director, Joel Schumacher, acknowledged that the spin-off and additional scheduled movies in the series should have been the studio’s next phase rather than producing Batman and Robin.
He has decided to step aside as the director of all future Batman projects.

5.  Batman Beyond

Boaz Yakin, the writer of the Now You See Me movies, wrote a screenplay for a future-set Batman film.
Even though Warner Bros. liked the concept of the film, Boaz Yakin simply lacked the passion to direct it.
This was the third consecutive Batman movie to be axed. Batman: DarKnight came in second, followed by Batman Unchained.
There are rumors that a new version of the movie is being created.

4. Superman Lives

The Tim Burton-directed superhero movie Superman Lives, with storylines by Wesley Strick and Dan Gilroy, was never released. The Death of Superman, a 1992 comic book published at WB’s request and scheduled for distribution in the summer of 1998, served as inspiration. The movie, which starred Nicholas Cage as the Man of Steel, was an attempt to revive the Superman series after the disappointment of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, with either “Superman Lives” or “Superman Reborn” as the title.

3. The Flash

According to reports, David S. Goyer finished writing the script for The Flash in 2006, but there were no developments until Goyer said he was quitting the project in 2007. David S. Goyer explained in a blog post that Warner Bros. and he “just couldn’t decide on what would make for a fantastic Flash film,” which led to the cancellation of his Flash movie. Goyer also said that the production company had other ideas for the lead, most likely referencing George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal. Barry Allen and Wally West would both have appeared in David S. Goyer’s The Flash, with Barry dying at the start of the film and Wally having to take over as the Flash.

2.  Superman Returns Sequel

Bryan Singer had intended to make Superman: The Man of Steel the follow-up to Superman Returns, but it was scrapped in favor of a complete series relaunch with 2013’s Man of Steel. A sequel with more action was promised by Singer.
In it, Brandon Routh would play Clark Kent/Superman once more. The rest of the cast would also be back.
Superman Returns did not meet expectations at the box office despite garnering largely favorable reviews from reviewers and viewers.
For the follow-up, the writers ran out of concepts.
The Writers Guild of America strike in 2007–2008 caused the release date to be postponed from 2009 to 2010.

The deal for Brandon Routh to reprise his part as Clark Kent/Superman in a Superman Returns sequel dissolved in 2009.

1.  Man Of Steel 2

For those of us pondering what may have happened if Man of Steel 2 had been made, recent news reports suggest that Brainiac would have most likely played the antagonist in the movie.
James Gunn has stated that not only would there not be a fight involving Superman and Brainiac in a Man of Steel 2 movie, but that the movie itself would not be taking place. The studio is going in an entirely new direction and focusing on a younger version of Clark Kent, which is even more unexpected given that Henry Cavill won’t be reprising his role as prior sources had indicated.
