Over the past couple of decades, Warner Bros. has tried many times to bring its most famous DC characters to the big screen. To help with these endeavors, the studio has hired many talented writers and directors to develop projects that, for one reason or another, were ultimately abandoned. Some of the more famous attempts include J.J. Abrams’ Superman: Flyby, Joss Whedon’s Wonder Woman, David Goyer’s The Flash and, of course, Tim Burton’s and Kevin Smith’s Superman Lives. Now DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns is suggesting some of those projects might actually be adapted as direct-to-video animated films. When asked about the idea, Johns told Collider, “There’s always a possibility. That’s not the first time that’s come up.”
