Reference excerpt

This is a list of unproduced projects based on DC Comics imprints. Some of these productions were, or still are, in development hell. Films and TV shows that have not provided significant production announcements within at least a year would be considered in development limbo until further announcements are released. All of the unproduced films and shows are based on DC Comics imprints (Vertigo, WildStorm, Mad, Paradox Press).

List

Fables

Fables TV series A television series based on Fables was put into development by NBC in 2005 for the 2006–2007 season. The show received a script order and was developed by Craig Silverstein and Warner Bros. Television but was not developed any further than the scripting stage. NBC would later go on to produce Grimm, a police procedural set in a world where fairytales are real. ABC picked up the rights to develop a pilot of Fables for the 2009–2010 television season in December 2008. Six Degrees creators and executive producers Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner were writing the script for the hour-long drama, again set up at Warner Brothers Television, while David Semel came on board to direct. However, in December 2010, Willingham said, in an interview with Io9, that the ABC show is "probably dead", though he also admits to being "out of the loop".

Fables film In 2015, Warner Bros. was developing a live action Fables film with David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford producing, Jeremy Slater and Jane Goldman writing and Nikolaj Arcel directing. Since then, there has been no further announcements.

Fables video game In 2011, Telltale Games announced The Wolf Among Us, an episodic graphic adventure game based upon Fables. With the first of its five episodes released on October 11, 2013 (and the final episode released on July 8, 2014), the game is canon with the comic book universe and is set as a prequel to the comic book. The second season of The Wolf Among Us was in production, and was planned to be released sometime in 2018, but the game was delayed and rescheduled for release in 2019 before ultimately being cancelled in September 2018 following the studio's closure.

The Books of Magic film A film version of The Books of Magic has been in development hell for many years. It was originally optioned by Warner Bros. for some years before the first Harry Potter book was published, with Neil Gaiman signing on as executive producer in 1998. After several years of drafting and redrafting, the script moved so far from the original concept that Gaiman and Paul Levitz advised the filmmakers that any audience seeing it expecting a film based on the comic would be disappointed, and decided to develop the film themselves. They worked with screenwriter Matt Greenberg, who had written early drafts of the original script, to come up with something closer to the original story, but nothing came from this.

Astro City

Astro City film In 2003, Ben Barenholtz, Jonathan Alpers and Kurt Busiek hoped to develop an Astro City film, with Barenholtz as producer and Alpers as lead scripter, but the plans did not take off, whereupon Barenholtz subsequently took the project to Working Title Films. In July 2010, Working Title acquired the rights to make a live-action feature film adaptation of Astro City. Busiek was to write a script treatment, and also to executive-produce, along with Barenholtz and Alpers. Kurt Busiek later reveleed in May 2013 that Working Title's option had lapsed but he was in negotiation with another party.

Astro City TV series In March 2018, FremantleMedia North America announced a live-action Astro City TV series with a pilot episode written by Busiek and Rick Alexander. There have been no developments since.

The American Way film In 2018, John Ridley was working with Blumhouse Productions to adapt his comic into a film and direct. There has been no further development since.

Codename: Knockout film In 2001, Codename: Knockout artist Louis Small, Jr. reported that Warner Bros. had picked up the option to adapt the comic series into a film and commissioned a script, but nothing came out of this.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints

In research: List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of unproduced films based on DC Comics imprints is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cancelled films, DC Comics-related lists, Lists of superhero films, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
