While many fans would likely agree that the DCU is on sturdier ground with James Gunn and Peter Safran running the show, the duo’s lineup of upcoming DC movies and TV shows hasn’t exactly been free from stalled and canceled projects in various stages of development. The hits just keep on coming, as the director of the animated DCU feature Dynamic Duo revealed he was previously months into the development of since-scrapped feature about the most alluringly thieving rogue on Batman’s list, Catwoman.
The idea that an animated Catwoman movie had enough of a green light to get so far into the process should be a good thing, but the project is said to be one of dozens culled from Warner Bros’ to-do list by its cancellation-hungry CEO David Zaslav, who was also behind scrapping Batgirl in 2022 (which actor Jacob Scipio shared praise for in October 2025). While I can’t argue against my own excitement for Dynamic Duo, it’s rather infuriating to me to learn how it allegedly came from the ashes of the Catwoman feature.
