Given all of the uncertainty around the response to the film, the studio’s further plans may change depending on how upcoming films turn out, but as we explored in our Marvel: 11 movies awaiting a greenlight feature, this kind of big-scale development sometimes leaves a number of projects in limbo.

There are countless stories of unmade DC films that Warner Bros had on the go at some point or another – most notoriously, Tim Burton’s Superman Lives, which might at one point have had Michael Keaton reprise the role of Batman and got a cinematic universe started almost two decades ago – but we’ll be looking at the films that have come about in recent years that are just awaiting a greenlight that might feasibly fit into DC and Warners’ current plans.

But even within this Extended Universe, not every film will be necessarily linked. According to Guillermo del Toro, who was attached to one of the movies on this list, Warners have tried to keep films in development outside of the announced release slate separate from the continuity until they know if they want to unify them with the main continuity.

In theory, that could make them a little more flexible, if not all of these mooted films necessarily have to gel with all of the other films, but it also means that we’re less certain about if or when some of these films will happen or not. With that in mind, here are 11 films we might see from DC Entertainment before the end of the decade and beyond, along with our speculation on what form they might take if and when we do.

DC extended universe

Just like Marvel, DC Entertainment has films planned out up until the end of the decade – of the 10 films in the announced ‘blueprint’ of releases from October 2014, Batman V. Superman has been released, and Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and the first Justice League movie are all due in cinemas in the next 18 months.
